PS3 a Better DVD Player Than Xbox 360?

[wraggster]

The folks at Ars Technica have made an interesting discovery. Apparently, Sony's PS3 does a better job of playing scratched up DVDs than the Xbox 360, which spits them out the minute it notices any imperfections. I rarely use my console as my DVD player, but I have experienced the "OMG the disc won't play" notification on my Xbox that the Ars guys are talking about. Any of you lucky PS3 owners have problems with the PS3's movie-playing capabilities?

I haven't tried any seriously scratched DVDs yet, but I have tried my old copy of Tomb Raider 2 for PSOne. It's so scratched that it won't make it past the opening movie on PS1, PSOne, PS2, and PSTwo. Yet, when I stuck it in my PS3, the game played perfectly. Guess I'll have to try an old DVD next and let you know.
