Microsoft redesigns the 360 and STILL doesn't have a slot disc drive?

[QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"]

I've been reading this thread since I was suspended without the ability to reply and Really I can't believe some of the comments being made.

A few examples.
Slot drives are better then trey drives.
Tray drives are old technology.
slot drives are more reliable.

slot drives being better is simply opinion, I like tray drives more.
does any one here know how old slot drives are? go back to the late 80's and you'll start seeing cars use them slot drives are old too, and tray drives are used in all most every thing where slot drives aren't used so thats what 70% of things?

slot drives are less reliable then tray drives this is a simple fact, a comparibly built and price tray drive will allways outpreform a slot drive, tray drives are trusted and reliable tech, the only reason the ones in original 360 units were faulty is because of cheapness if they had been of higher build quality and price they wouldn't have the problems they do.

slot drives and tray drives work exactly the same except for the entry method the inside guts work exactly the same, A disc is take into the unit by either a tray or griping plate, and it put ontop of a spinner, a magnetic restrictor plate is placed ontop of the disc and a magnetic field keeps the plate puting preasure down on the disc so it stays in place as it spins.

So please stop with that stuff that slot drives are more reliable when both methods past the insertion method work exactly the same.

Your claim is not a fact, it is an opinion. What is "reliable" is subjective to one's thoughts, experiences,and perspectives.

So? What's wrong with disc trays?

Because how you insert the disc makes the game play way better!! :o

Because tell that story to the millions of people that have disc drive problems on their awesome state of the art 360...slot drive is better just in case you didnt know..

I have seen design flaws in everything from million $$$ homes to cars costing 500G. Price and the fact that "people use it" makes no difference. It will take some time, but in the near future people will finally admit that the 360 was nothing more than a scrap piece project that took everyone for their money. Disc drive problems, rrod, errors ect ect..been there done that and have learned my lesson.

but again, if the slot drive works so well, why do pc's not use it? you've provided absolutely zero evidence to support your claim.

thats not as bad as releasing a 250 gig ps3slim with 2 usb ports. now that move is out and your ps3 eye takes up one of them that leaves you one to use on charging. thats really cheap of sony imo

LMAO. Only in System Wars.......

Too bad with the 360 you can play installed games off the harddrive but the ps3 the disk needs to be in at all times.genaroll

I wonder why MS decided to do this???..humm....could it be that it puts less wear and tare on the disc drive?...YEP..I think so..MS covers up their messy tracks every day. BRAVO!!

Does it really matter?

I'd rather have a tray drive that I know I can get a disc out of than a slot drive where it's going to be exceptionally difficult if the worst happens...

HuusAsking

The tray drive involves the extra step of having to have to wait for the try to open before a disc can be placed inside; a slot drive simply involves sliding the disc into the slot. Same thing with disc removal, with the slot you simply push eject and the disc is removed; with the tray I have to go to the extra step of also having to have to close the drive after taking my disc out.

:roll:

Obvious sarcasm aside, whats the difference? If anything I feel more comfortable with a tray... Whenever I use a slot drive I always feel like I'm going to wreck it by pushing too hard on the disc when trying to get it to slide in.
