The battle for next (this?) gen supremacy just got that much more tedious. Opposable Thumbs ran a test a couple of days ago, sticking a bunch of scratched DVDs (dominated by the blockbuster "Bob the Builder Saves Christmas") into both a 360 and PS3, no doubt in an attempt to come up with some kind of tie-breaker category warring fanboys could use to leverage supremacy over their opponents.

The 360 choked, spluttered and flat-out refused to play them. The PS3? Smoooooth sailing. Guess that decides it, then. Microsoft: good game, thanks for coming, but this generation belongs to the PS3. Better luck next time. Luke Plunkett

Does the PS3 have a higher tolerance for scratched discs? [Opposable Thumbs]
