Why slot loading is bad…
This is why the Xbox 360 has an open/close DVD drive, and not a “cooler” slot loading drive, they’re not as good, especially when they have the Sony brand name on them.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Friend of mine says it’s a weak motor. Looks like the ps3 is having way more issues than the 360 had. Who saw THAT coming?

“If the PS3 turns out to be like the PSP (a machine some use mainly for homebrew programs), Sony is going to have a hard time making the PS3 a profitable venture; they aren’t going to make a penny if someone is playing a pirated copy of an NES game. Sony could very well prove that loss-leading on a multimedia machine is a bad idea. They simply are unable to control the content coming into the machine (outside of an epic war with homebrew hackers volleying firmware updates and firmware hacks back and forth). Unlike other consoles, where it would take some hardware modifications that some may find too difficult, Sony made it a feature to be able to use the PS3 for whatever you want (which we applaud); however, machines like those need to be profitable. Sony can’t make up their big losses on each unit if no one buys games.”

Yeah, you show one unit not working and it means slot loading is bad. News flash…I’ve had my slot loading car stereo for 3 years and no problems.
Also, the comment below that the PS3 is having “way more issues than the 360″ is a joke. This sight would be the place to go for defective PS3 news and all the guys got is a video of a single defective loading issue. SO far, I’ve seen no mainstream media (or any media attention) to defective PS3 the way we saw with the 360.
