| vonboysp said: really they only scratch the disks when they get moved around while their on (like if you yanked the gamecube controller cord too hard, and knocked the wii over). i'd be careful not to do that, but other then that, don't be worried. |
Here's the answer.
It's rare, but it happens. Pretty sure it happened to my MP3 disc when I loaned it to a friend. It came back with a nasty circular groove in the disc.
Some game stores offer a repair service. Seems to me you're better off repairing in the rare event of a serious scratch than buying insurance. I never paid to get the disc repaired, but I was up front with a store owner about the scratch and he offered me normal trade-in value for it anyway, so it can't cost too much to get them out.
