I don't get why they have a checkpoint system, its totally useless to me. Since im used to games like Half-Life and any other game you simply hit F5 or F6 to save your exact spot. Games like Mass Effect on 360 have save game manually still (through hitting pause) but sooo many games now only save your checkpoint, they don't save your exact location after battling a horse of monsters/enemy's and having 10life left. If you save after some chaotic moment and the checkpoint/save spot is through even more chaos, you absolutely cannot save where you desire. I hate redoing things ive already done in a game (Call of Duty 3, 4, 5 are good at this annoyance) I would still prefer to be able to hit start and SAVE my EXACT location with my ammo and life bar where they are at. So when i die i dont have to redo some stupid fight with 100 soldiers poking their heads out of a trench tossing grenades at me.

A lot seem angered and frustrated by the fact that they cannot move their 360 while its on with a disc in the drive. I don't understand, what's their "need" to move it around while its on? I have both a ps3 and 360, they have not moved an inch from their spot since i purchased and set them up on my television stand, why? because i see no reason to move them...logically speaking of course, but some people lack this simple logic and i /point and /laugh at them.

Honestly if you scratch a disc by moving the console while its running, spinning the disc, then your truly a moron to the highest degree. Unless your obsessive compulsive and cannot keep your 360 in 1 position for more than a minute, then your still a moron.

Heres a pretty brain dead solution, don't move your console while its running with a disc in the tray.
