Well this is what happens when people praise Sega/Sony for advancing gaming my further developing disc media. We should have further developed game cartridges with new tech instead.

Sega/Sony alone are not to blame as the movie industry has done the same. Some of my old dvd movies suffer from this. Then on the other side of the coin I got video tapes from the 60s that have MINT picture.



Or at least HOPE BluRay media is more resilient.

 

One solution would be that at the end of the gen, the companies should open up the hardware so you can backup your games to digital and discs lol.

I wish that were so my friend.  Some of my game cartridges are failing me as well.  I gave a link on page 4 that might explain it though
