i was playing tales friday night for a while, decided to take a break, played call of duty a bit, then some lumines with my wife. after we were finished, i decided to play tales some more and put in the disc. well, the loading screen came up for about 2 minutes before i turned off the console. after turning it on, i noticed it said unplayable disc... so i ejected the disc, checked it for any signs of damage (none thank god, since i got it from gamefly), put in another disc and same thing. tried 4 other games and no difference. i was really bummed. i've only had it for 11 months, and was disappointed greatly, knowing i'd have to wait for a few weeks to get the new console. was reading online about there being problems with drives and seen someone mention hitting the top of the console over the drive. i laughed and continued looking around the net but found nothing that wouldnt void my warranty, so i decided to skip it. well this morning, i was bored and decided that hey, maybe i'll try that. so i put in a music cd, incase it did something to the cd, i'd rather it be something cheap than a 60 dollar purchase, and hit it... and what do you know? it actually worked. it's been running smoothly. the drive only seems to spin really loudly when i have tales in it as of late, so i'm going to send it to gamefly and get something else i think... hate leaving games unfinished but it's either that or a 300 dollar machine to play tetris on.
