You sound like a loser HeXbox 360 user! BluRay is the only coated disc format boasting near indestructable long life discs, ultimate size and future technalogy! I have DVD discs that are unusable due to scratches and use! I suppose you have lots of money to waste with the other cheap disc formats! Dumb Ignorant Moron!

monark, Because Blu-ray discs are encoded near the very top layer of the disc with limited protection, the data is literally at higher risk to damage. Conversely, HD DVD maintains physical protection similar to standard DVD. Also concerns developed regarding Blu-ray's ability to manufacturer the discs at the capacity originally intended. In fact, with the Blu-ray launch in Japan, the discs are being created at single-layer 25 Gigabyte capacity, which is half of the originally intended 50 gigabytes.

maybe if you took care of your discs, they wouldnt be scratched, you cannot condemn an entire format just because you dont know how to be careful
