Microsoft admits flaw in the Xbox 360

[xXx]

After more than thousand complaints of Xbox 360 users, Microsoft has admitted Saturday night that there is a flaw in the Xbox 360. That happened in the Dutch television programme "Kassa". The flaw causes CDs and DVDs that are spinning in the player to get damaged.

According to a press declaration from Microsoft, the Xbox 360 can cause scratches. Initially the company denied to be guilty for the damage. Microsoft kept saying for months that the gamers themselves are responsible for scratches on the discs.

After research on the Xbox 360 it was determined that the scratches occur by the lack of a so called "bump pillows" at the lens. From the data of "Kassa" it would concerns a worldwide serial of approximately 1 to 2 million Xbox 360 consoles.

In the consumer programme "Kassa" Microsoft promised to offer aid to users who have complaints in the form of repairing. It is however not possible to get a new console.

I thought it was the red light problem.

Its clear the system was rushed. If they had taken their time like Wii/PS3, X360 would've been a whole lot better.

I agree with you...cos if you compared with the launch titles of XBOX360 & PS3..you will find that PS3 has very good [Launch] titles.

I too feel that the X360 was rushed. In the end, I feel it was necessary. They wanted to have as a big a time advantage over the PS3 as they possibly could get and it has certainly paid off for them.

'Cause, obviously that has nothing to do with the fact that it launched a year later, right?

Yeah but then also they were ported from XBOX360 to PS3...

A company like Microsoft has a fiscal year to end. As the end of that fiscal year approaches, the company realizes that only 9 million units of their product have been shipped (sold units are something to bother their heads with later) out of the 10 million target. The company then “stuffs retailers” with the extra 1 million units and they can happily say they've ended their fiscal year.
