@BigD

As with other NVIDIA mobile G8X GPUs, my Geforce 8600M GT (ASUS G1S laptop) suffered a "black screen of death". On the upside, it was swap for a Geforce 9500M GS i.e. changed to ASUS G1Sn mainboard.

I still see the 360 as the superior system for gaming because the overall system design seems better designed


What? Like the GPU overheating and causing RRoD ever since it's launch?!! The 360 was rushed to market and might be a more a more predictably designed machine following standard multicore CPU design etc, but I certainly wouldn't say it's a BETTER designed machine!

The 360 was designed well but manufactured poorly. Some of the manufacturing contractors used cheaper solder, we know this. As for the disc-scratching, I haven't seen one vertically mounted harddrive that didn't... A console's optical drive gets used alot more than a pc's...so the problem becomes more prevelant...and only some PC's have vertical mounted optical drives...

PS, there have been plenty of drive failures with the PS3 as well.
