I predicted that slot-loading mechanisms would fail

Early on, before I regularly posted on this blog, I used to say that Blu-ray was going to have disc-read-error problems. I also said that slot-loading is a bad idea; I foresaw problems with the mechanisms for both the Wii and the PS3.

PS3 is the first recorded victim of my latter prediction. Any bets on how long before the DRE's happen? Unless Sony learned from last time.

On a side note, I am a bit perturbed that the Wii is having as many problems as it is. Generally, Nintendo is the quality hardware provider. It sure has left me a little less excited to add the Wii to my entertainment center...
