I saw a video where some stupid kids smashed the GC with a sledge hammer, then dragged it down a dirt road tied to the back of a truck. They got home and hooked it up...and proceeded to play...
i thought they did that to a Xbox.
i got my cube around the time Mario Kart came out. i take good care of my stuff and the only games i own for the cube are the RE series, Zelda series, Metroid Prime, and Tales of Symphonia [ didn't beat it ].
not too long ago i let my friend borrow my cube, and he takes good care of my stuff too. he was trying to start up RE4 but the disc wouldn't spin. if he unplugged the controller it would start to spin, put it back in it would stop. this lasted for a few hours and then magically disappeared.
i have an Xbox from launch [ didn't buy it at launch, but the manufacture date is from that time ], and i always read bad stuff about the disc drive that i have. that it fails a lot and gets DREs all the time. but i've never had a problem with my xbox at all.
