After a bit of research i would like to tell you that kicking wont help
It would just shit your machine so dont do it
XBOX 360 ummm....
have you tried wrapping it in a towel?
well rumors are that it works
These are the facts i know:
The PS3 Controllers are better because you dont have to put new betterys in you just charge them.
If you want the internet for the PS3, it doesn't cost, however the xbox 360 does cost and you have to pay monthly.
Athough the Xbox 360 has more games in store the PS3 it the all-round winner. Go PS3!!!
