Well yeah it can be scratched... by a butcher knife.
Steel wool did nothing to it.

Unbreakable combs are breakable too yaknow.
The feature is that it does not ______ like a normal one would.

The average consumer only cares about small scratches from either leaving discs out or accidentally dropping them etc.

 

True, but the test was flawed, so it's hard to put much stock in it.

You can scratch a DVD, and it plays too, it just skips at some points in the movie.  His video only showed the PS3's ability to load the disc.  I have DVDs that are so scratched up they look like road maps, and they still play... they just tend to skip at different points in the movie.

I'm not saying the anti-scratch coating isn't good, because it's obviously better than no coating at all.

I was simply correcting the poster earlier who said that Blu-ray discs were "unscratchable".  They aren't obviously.  Better than DVDs?  In all likelihood, yes.  But not indestructable as the poster implied.
