 Damn, that sucks. I guess the 360 owners should buy their games at Game Stop and get the scratch warranty.

thats because 360 hardware is shit. the slightest touch to the console fucks up your cd, i had it happen to my gears copy. and fifa 08. I didnt even fucking move it

I have to admit that Blu-ray disks are virtually scratchproof. I work at a gamestop and i have yet to see a scratched PS3 disk ever. With most systems we get games in that are scratched to the point of being unplayble. I thought it was due to PS3 owners just being more careful with their stuff, but it turns out that you really can't scratch them even if you try.

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.
