I dont know about everyone else here but I just love this news. A few weeks ago I wanted to use a dvd but to my surprise(sad surprise) I saw that it was... "wounded". Well, never again

No matter how much I take care of my CDs, they get scratched anyway.

My CD's don't go in cases, they go in the spindals that come in the packs

My CD's rarely get scratched. It's just when i lend my CD's to people they die.

like aeons ago i lend my warcraft 2 CD to a school friend and when i got it back it was scratched to death and it didn't install anymore.
Another time i lend shrek to my cousin's and when i got it back, OMG even sticky marks on it. That dvd never ran smoothly again.

well, i also lent my pokemon tape to em once :x and when i got it back the cover was ripped to shreds and sticky taped back together
