Broken disc

[vdomini]

WHAT
THE
HELL!!!!!!

Yesterday night, frowned and scared about those disck breacking, i've checked my copy of il2 and....

I DO HAVE THE CRACK CURSE TOO!!!!

Awwwwww... i was so sad and scared!!! But lucky the crack is very light and cd fully readable!!!

SOLUTION:
1) I will buy a used back up copy of il2 strumovik.
2) I will keep playing the game but i'll place the cd in something like a soft cd container...

Be very careful, I read from the finnish console gaming forum, that due the disc spins real fast there is danger, that the disc will go and split in two inside your ps3, or crack more and do some damage to your console.

I'm not taking any risk's for that. So now i'm waiting my new copy. And I ordered usb- hard drive too, so I can take a backup of my ps3.

Sorry to revisit the issue and scare you some more, but it looks like the users Mage was talking about might have been correct. I did think that maybe it was just another urban legend thingy, like the one about the CD-ROMs shattering some years ago, but apparently not...

The issue has been around almost a year and has cropped up on a few forums here being one and a post from another, less useful site:

"Definitely. The risk of shattering discs is lower for DVDs (and I assume for Blu-Rays too) than for CDs since they don't reach quite the same ridiculous rotational speeds but they're still spun pretty fast. A crack could lengthen until it reaches breaking point and then BANG! the disc fails and becomes shards of plastic embedded inside your very expensive paperweight.

However if you really want to play it, you could try and get one of the hub-strengthening stickers places like video shops use."

Tread carefully people

Finally I have a new copy of the bop. Actually delivery was much faster than I expected. And the cost wasn't so bad either, under 22 pound's from amazon it's about 28 euro's I think, here it would cost 50 euro's or more. So thanks again for tip Mac.

See you guys soon.
