PS3 game disc cracking

Some folks over at LYN’s Playstation subforum recently found that their much prized PS3 game discs were cracking at the center rim. And from the looks of it, it’s not an isolated case either, with at least 6 forumers confirming they have the problem. Some even posted pictures of their cracks, and it’s a ghastly sight indeed!

D: RAAAAGGGEEEEE! D:

From first hand accounts, while initially harmless looking and tiny, the cracks would lengthen with repeated usage…with one forumer even going as far as saying the cracks on his disc lengthened by 5mm with each hour. And as soon as the cracks hit the data area of the disc, well…then you’d have a pretty shiny and scratch-proof (not to mention expensive!) water coaster.

Freaked out by this news, I checked my awesome collections of game discs back home, and found that my copy of Resident Evil 5…is also cracked! GAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
