Defective Console DVD Drives?

ksplatter asks: "I Purchased an X-Box back in January of this year. Everything was working just fine until I bought a game called Outlaw Golf about 2 months ago. I literally had not one problem with the unit before this. So after playing the game a couple of times I went to insert the disc one day and the X-Box told me it was unable to read my disc. I thought it was odd but continued anyway. Ever since then, my console has been more and more picky in deciding which disks (games or DVDs) to actually play. It is to the point where now the unit is completely useless. I called Microsoft and the tech support blamed the problem on rental companies (i.e. blockbuster) putting stickers on the CD that damaged the DVD lens. They told me they can't do anything for free but for 100 BUCKS M$ would replace the drive. I went on the Message board for the game that started this problem and they blamed the issue on some cheap/defective DVD drives that were installed in X-Boxes between last November and January. I was curious if anyone out there ran into this problem and what they did. Is there any sort of action I can take against Microsoft?" I't like to point out that this can be a problem with some Playstation 2 systems as well. I am now on my second PS2 unit (obtained after the price drop) because my original unit could no longer read DVD-based games or movies (however my original Gamecube, purchased at about the same time, is still purring along just fine). Might this be a sign that the early DVD units provided by both companies were just not able to handle the environments in which they were placed (ala hot TV cabinets, dusty living room floors, smoke filled areas and so forth)?

Abra ca dabra! Shazam!

Shut up you dirty fucking pigfucking swinehundt.

Take your fucking Koran and cram it up your ass. The sooner the earth see Islam leave it, the better off it will be.

I hope if there is a God and a Hell, you have to drink the liquidy shit from a Pig's ass, and Jewish Rabbis urinate on you.

I hate the stupid ISLAM fucks who read into the trash they come up with. Saddam Hussein is higher on my sanity list than fucking Muslim "clerics." In fact, I like Saddam more than most of the other Arab leaders because he is secular. We should fucking nuke the Saudis and Mecca and Medina and turn it into rubble, then tell Saddam to remove the heads of all the buttfucking "royalty" in the area.

I want to wipe my ass with Mohammad's shroud. I want to grind his body up into bone meal and fertilize my garden with it.

Our tortured dead scream out in HORROR, asking for vengeance:

1. Kill all Camel Jockeys.
2. Kill all Mohammedans.
3. Kill all Dune Coons.
4. Kill all Rag Heads.
5. Kill all Towelheads.
6. Kill all Arabs.
7. Kill all Camel Rooters.
8. Kill all Osama Bin Laden supporters.

Nuke their countries to hell.
Nuke them again.
Death to Islam.

I piss on Mecca. I wipe my ass with the Koran. I shit upon Mohammed. I wipe the cum for a freshly fucked pussy with Mohammed's shroud then throw it in the pig sty so it can mire in pig shit as it decomposes.
