As a lot of you may know, the Xbox 360 tends to break games when you move it when a disk is in side. Does this happen with the PS3?

solution: don't f*** move your console while there's a disk inside

It is much less terrible than the 360

but yeah, if you want an answer that isn't "try having common sense", then:

blu-ray disks are tough as hell, the only real way to get one to stop working is by doing it on purpose

but really, don't move a console when a disk is inside and your disks probably won't get f*** up

This is actually my big issue with digital, when it comes to things like Steam, yeah, digital is nice, but I like having a physical disc.

On the topic at hand, yeah, just take the disc out before you move it. Not really a big issue.

Even the slightest movement of the system will break the game. Say it's on a desk or stand of some sort and someone walks by it and brushes it. The game will break. Or if it's on the floor and you little toe pushes it a millimeter, it WILL break(That's how I broke my modern warfare 3)



@Nixter Not really. If your steam account gets hacked then your games are gone. But if I have my xbox live hacked, I still have all my disks.

No, you don't.

You own a license to play them and nothing more. You don't actually own the games. If you actually owned the games, the people running the service wouldn't be able to stop you being able to play them whenever they wanted to.

Please don't talk about something unless you actually know what you're talking about.

fiat money is used to buy things, say the government gets overrun and now the money is void


I still own that money though


I buy a license to a game, then I download the game

say it gets cut off by steam for whatever reason, I still have it downloaded

and you have no way to actually play it

and you also can't re-download it

holy s*** you're retarded

stop f*** arguing with me

this isn't a case of opinions

if you buy a game from Steam, you don't actually own it

that is a fact

do me (and yourself) a favour and shut the f*** up already

if someone goes into your house and take your disc, you do not own it anymore, you did, but now you don't

same with steam games just it's not physical

I'm assuming there are still ways to erase games for your computer/accounts/whatever though.

I typed up a long response to this, but I'm not going to post it.

You're obviously f*** with me. Nobody can be this retarded.

Nobody can say "if someone takes something from you, it's no longer yours". Nobody can seriously imply that theft is not a crime.

I'm pretty sure that trolling is against the rules, though. Enjoy your warning.
