For my case, my disc crack line extend more into the data area, if i keep on playing it.

THEALB10N, can u email sony asia/hk and attach with email from sony america and game developer themselves.and not too forget...do tell them it's not u the only guy got the problem.. if can, put a clear pictures from different discs and also url to this topic.

actually almost all sony's email will not give satisfactory answer..last time i ask why the Infamous serial number i tried to enter was invalid when i tried to register it they also cannot answer properly other than bounce me all over their division, region and also to sucker punch

but although they couldn't answer, my serial number was valid about a week later

p/s: do they have this disc problem overseas?

Thats true, but you must agree its a tad unfair for the shop to tell him when he bought the PS3 that they will get the PS3 fixed free of charge if it breaks within a year, then tell him it will cost RM300 when it finally does break.

Lens failure is RM300 because that is how much the lens costs. IINM, the warranty only gives you free labor charges and free replacement (if MB problem) but you have to pay for things like new lens.

So basically the warranty means bollocks as you still need to pay for the parts... I've never heard of this being the case for a products warranty in any other country.

2 of my bd cracked, rb2 and re5. i used super glue, only an TINY TINY bit to make sure the crack doesnt extend

and so far so good but TINY TINY TINY amount.

wat super glue u use
gam gajah????

yah..and their are serving their purpose

lol, i have a cracked r2 bourne supramacy game disc

guess im the first, but honestly sony should improve the casing, maybe implement something like a sleeve than press and hold method, cause it really is giving a lot of tension to the inner circle everytime you eject the disc

its actually science, when you stop your game time, you eject the disc. the spinning in the drive caused it to be hot. hot things expand, they are softer too. when you put your hot disc in the casing, the inner circle, still soft, is pushed against the holder. repeat this 2,3 times, viola, cracked disc.

Update: All my latest games that store in soft plastic sleeve don't crack anymore.

I bought another SF4 region 3 disc, and play through it for about 4 months....no cracking sign at all
So, i am pretty sure that the disc crack when we eject our disc and directly tore the disc back to the hard casing

yea thus the reason why you should let it cool down before inserting it back,

i'v even tried scotch tape on the crack, as seen on youtube, it was a risk but still didnt work

i presume if the crack is still on the plastic surface of the inner circle, then your still okay, but if it has reached the blu ray layer, then its gone, no way you can get it to work, if im not mistaken discs are read from in to out.

seldom heard the PS3 optical drive spinning sound, it is not that hot, even playing the games which not require installation, the disc also a bit warm upon reject

Tekken 6, R1 cracked... Sigh.

Tried so hard to take care the BD by taking it out from PS3 and put it back into case.

Goodbye RM230... Ur 2 weeks was fun.

So far all my current games are crack free

Ouch. so far all my games i've had the habit of taking them out, and shaking them around to dissipat the heat. been a ps3 ownr for about 2 years,never had a cracked bd once. thank god.

yeah.. the plastic surface is just plastic. the data itself stored beneath printed area of the disc.
