Well, well, well. After furiously ranting on how the PS3 is just another console, it seems irony strikes.
Yesterday I received a copy of Lost Odyssey one day prior to its release date in Europe, much to my delight. However when I got around to playing the game the pre-rendered cutscenes were very choppy and often crashed. I was wondering what the hell was going on and I decided to give up trying to play the game when I finally recieved a "disc unreadable" message.
So when I remove my disc and inspect it closely my once perfect disc now has some very neat, clear and precise circular scratches on it. Knowing that this was a common complaint regarding the 360 Im taking it back today to Gamestation, luckly Im protected under the Sales of Goods Act 1979 under which if I am sold a faulty unit with a "inherent manufacturing flaw" which Microsoft have admitted to be an issue in consoles sold before late 2006, I am entitled to a replacement or full refund. Im going to try and avoid MS support on this one as when I actually phoned them, Akbar and Ishman were not very helpful (not a joke).
Well cross your fingers and hope I dont get completly bent over for putting my faith and cash in Microsoft, guess Im stuck with my Wii.
