I don't doubt that they burn out easily, my brother's roommate has burn through 4 of them in 1 year, and he uses them for movies a lot. He watches a movie and falls asleep and leaves it running for 10 straight hours each time, and he does it all the time. I'm not sure if the drive is dying or something else, because it's always hot in their house, the system gets poor ventillation, and there's lots of smoke....all things that are bad for electronics like the PS2.

Anyhoo, it's just that I don't see why there'd be any difference between watching movies and playing games since they use the drive somewhat equivalently, not identically but it's similar enough. So playing lots of games should nuke it too.....I just got the impression that you were saying movies were the only real killer.

JamieS697: Why does the Cube suck so bad? Have you really played it? Does it suck or do you just not like the games so you claim it sucks? I don't see how anybody could fairly claim any of the current consoles suck, each of them has strengths and weaknesses. Most people who claim the Cube sucks have never really even played one.....
