360 Disc Scratching Serious Problem

Though Microsoft has previously stated that a reported problem where Xbox 360s may be scratching game discs was relatively rare, it's apparently common enough that rental agency GameFly has an official policy on the problem. From Gamasutra: "We have received reports that certain XBOX 360 consoles have caused damage to GameFly videogames. Unfortunately, we have been notified that you recently returned a damaged XBOX 360 game. As a precaution, we have removed all XBOX 360 games from your GameQ. Please contact Microsoft at 1-800-4MY-XBOX. Please do not rent XBOX 360 games until you have resolved this issue. In the future, should GameFly receive XBOX 360 games from you that have been damaged, you will be charged a replacement fee."

GTA San Andreas broke 3 of my PS2s

I wound up replacing 3 PS2s under warranty replacement because of drive damage caused by GTA/SA and only that game. Very odd.

If Final Fantasy XI is as good as X was, i'd save your money if I were you. I personally think the franchise has been going downhill in terms of fun since FFVII. That game was great. Since then, you haven't had much control over the progression of the game, it has been all about going from A to B to C, with no exploration in between. Very linear, which IMHO is not what a good RPG should be. At that point it just becomes a scripted sequence of battles.
