Thanks mate , very useful....
Technically that's a user fault as any one with half a brain wouldn't pick up there console when there playing a game, mine sits under my TV and never gets moved.
PS3 does this to just not as common as Blu-Ray disc have a hard coating on the disc to protect it so less chance of it happening (but it does happen).
pity DVD's don't have this
also the PS3 Blu-Ray Drive spins at x2 where as the xbox 360 Drive Spins at x12 so you could imagen the forces at work.
its not just you... i think so as well.
