when i was younger, i took tooth paste to twisted metal 2 and ruined the disc completely. i read somewhere it would fix it :p
then again, with blu rays, i think the problem is almost moot unless the disc is broken. the disc has quite a few layers of protection no other disc has had before it.
toothpaste will work if used lightly but plastic polish is what you wantQuote:

Is there a limit as to how many games I can have on my external drive? How about updates to games that come from ripping the games from disc do I still need those?
I have the xkey for my XBOX 360 and I LOVE it so if its anything like that then that is great :-)
When they talk about homebrew not working I assume that means MultiMan so how the heck do you play games on it?
If you are handling the disc yourself at every moment of the discs life, then yea you can look after it well. . There are many times when friends/kids/ect.. will pick up the disc and not treat it with as much respect as you would you own. Like i said you purchase the game not the disc.Quote:

Now DVDs and Blu Ray disc does have a much longer expected life span, but as i said they dont protect against that person who is using that disc or even taking out the of the PS3.
How many times have you seen someone wanting to put in a movie/disc in your PS3 and you have a disc in. They take the disc out and put it somewhere else not in case. Then you have to search and find it to see that massive scratch that of course messes it up somewhere in the game/video/song.
How many PSone games look like they did when there were first purchased? Sometimes many scratches doesn't affect a disc. but at times there could be one just deep enough or in that special spot where its a nightmare. I know i have came across many CD/DVD/Blu rays. that should work fine but they will fail at some point in the media. Look at rented movies as an example. Im sure everyone has had an issue someplace with a disc.
My point is this device isn't just for pirates. Some people like to protect the investments they have and not even have to worry about taking care of a disc.
you've had a bluray that hasn't played well?
the psx games did not hide scratches very well considering it was black, but blurays, i mean, you can take a pizza cutter, literally, and scratch it across the disc and it will be fine. you have to actually really dig into the disc for problems to arise and then at that point, well, something completely improper was being done to the disc beyond just carelessness of placing a disc wherever.
i will defend blurays through and through. they are the best disc medium we've ever had and not just because of storage capacity. i remember hd-dvd vs bluray and the arguments i had; most opposed bluray and i said, for once, quality will win, e.g. beta losing to vhs. they believed the american market too much, even then i'm pretty sure bluray was always at or near the top.
Try taking that pizza cutter on the label side and tell me how that works out ;) .. I have a Ps3 disc that had a small nic in the label its useless now (maybe i could use it as a coaster lol). No scratches on the disc at all. but you hold it up to the light you can see a very small nic in the label.
lol lable side no no for nicks CD/DVD or yes even the beloved Blu-RayQuote:
