Oh no I won't get mad Sped. I think the main purpose of this forum is to exchange ideas or info and if we all thought the same it wouldnt be any fun anyway. You made a statement and have some experience to support it and I'm more than happy to listen. I can't say I agree 100% but I will gladly listen to any intelligent argument.

I just find this very strange that the reflectivity of the media gets blamed for destroying lasers when I have worked on computers for many years and never heard this theory once. Even on this thread it seems the only "bad" lasers were found on PS2s? and Sony has had a reputation for questionable lasers.

Either way the bottom line is that the amount of money I have saved on media over the last 2 years could easily buy me a new Xbox if I have to. So doing the math it works out - compared to rumors that it *might* be bad for the machine.
