blu ray disks are really scratchproof? my cod4 froze on me once though.

 

That has nothing to do with the BR disc but the GPU.

I actually think it has the most to do with the optical drive just being of better quality (Sony-manufactured Blu-Ray drive in this case). I bet a bad drive COULD scratch a Blu-Ray disc when you turned it sideways while it was spinning...the disc is spinning really fast and it's possible for the hardware to teh suxxor that badly...it's just that the PS3's BD drive holds the discs steady really well, and so shit doesn't get scratched.

Test: move the PS3 while a common CD is spinning. Does it get scratched? No? Then it's the quality of the optical drive that makes the difference, not the scratch-proof coating on Blu-Rays. (if the CD *is* scratched, then ok, the BD coating is the difference, maybe.) Scratch-proof is probably intended to mean: kid-proof.

actually not to long ago i tried this on my ps3 with my friends to prove to them that ps3 doesnt mess up your cds like 360 does. i tried a cd, a dvd, and a blu ray movie, and none of them got a scratch
