Now or Never...go out and buy the Slim with Uncharted 2 and u will never want the box back

and is it really true that if the console standing up that the chance is bigger that the console will be broken or anything else?

So true....

and RE5 isnt mine, my friend bought it to play on my 360.

So smart...

I don't like the PS3 because I point out that the Blu-Ray drives aren't exactly all that reliable either? There is a petition floating around asking Sony to extend the warranty for the blu-ray drive coverage. http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?PS3BRDW3 Lots of people on the internet have reported that their blu-ray drive has crapped out on them. It's definitely the biggest problem with the PS3. Just like how the dvd drive errors were the biggest controversy with the PS2. YLOD (which Seraphic unluckily got) is less common. After the standard warranty period (a year I think), you gotta pay $150+ to get the drive fixed. At least with the 360, you could RRoD the thing in case the DVD drive screws up (and you are much less likely to screw it up if you install games fully to the hard drive) and get coverage for three years (not exactly honest to do this but hey, the consumer is entitled to exploit this after MS made the mistake of launching a then-faulty console. Consider it karma for rushing a console to beat out your competition instead of taking the time to quality test the thing properly first) I'm not telling him to buy another Xbox (unless his 3 year warranty was up, what would be the point of that?). He could send his in and get it replaced for up to 3 years. Better to do that and keep all of his 360 games than replace his 360 (effectively putting all that money invested in the console, games and accessories down the drain. Most video games depreciate a lot in value over the years so you're not gonna get too much money back) and his games with a PS3, which doesn't exactly have the most reliable optical drive either. If he wants to get a slim as a second console, that's another story. But he was implying that if he replaced his 360 with a PS3, he wouldn't have to deal with these optical drive problems, which is untrue.

I have these problems once in a while.  Here's what I do.

To get the disc drive open wedge your fingernail into the left side of the disc drive and apply a little pressure towards the right, then while your putting pressure on the disc drive either press the open button or the x button to open it and remove your hands 1 second after you attemp to open it.  And that should get your game out, leave the disc drive open for the time being. 

Now to fix the 360's reading problems first blow into the disc drive that is still opened.  After that close the disc drive, unplug everything from off of your 360, and take your harddrive off.  Now blow on every opening on your 360, air vents, memory card openings, USB openings, ect.  Make sure you blow every little piece of dust out.  Then let it sit for a couple of minutes, plug everything back in and it should hopefully work.

Also I find its easier to open up the disc drive if there is a game in the 360.  You may also have to use the procedure up above every time to open your 360's disc drive.
