i deffinetly got the same one back when i sent mine away (same minor cosmetic damage), though i think it was 6 days start to finish, so they had it for 4.

Ok, so Pete's new Xbox has been back for a few weeks and Friday the optical drive puts a lovely deep scratch in his FableII disk. So I managed to exchange it not thinking it would be the drive at fault. Yesterday .Kkrrrrrrr Same thing.

Rang MS and the unit is going off again.. Fortunately, they will replace the disk too.

In the great Console -v- PC debate .. PC wins for me.

I'm a big fan of the Xbox, but it's reliability issues are well publicised and aren't excusable. It's not fair to tar all consoles with your experiences with this one though, the PS3 and Wii are exceptionally reliable, particularly the PS3 by all accounts, and historically consoles have been extremely reliable devices.

The Xbox360 is susceptible to disc scratching when vertical. It will also scratch a disc if moved at all every single time.

The PS3 isn't that reliable Daz. I'm on my 3rd

. (for reference, I'm only on my 2nd Xbox360 - and that wasn't due to RRoD).

I had my 360 vertical for at least a year and I never scratched a disc

No disputing it's more susceptible, just never happened to me. I made sure it was never moved while a disc was in it though.

My new Arcade is vertical and seems to be running fine so far.

I'll get my Elite back today and I'm quite excited as I've missed the little blighter, I just hope everything's working as both my brother in law's and best mate's 360's were dead within a week after their fix.

I had to get my Wii repaired a month ago (sold it since) so I wouldn't hold any of the current consoles up as consumate pieces of engineering prowess, but then again when you think of what we're getting for our money I don't think we can really expect them to be.
