blu ray disc rot - IS REAL!!!!!!!!

My motorstorm game is a victim of the rot and i can't play the game anymore. just a blank screen. the disc itself has these spots which are spreading around the disc, stopping the blue laser from reading the disc.

what should i do with the disc throw it away and forget aboutthe idea that i spent £39.99 or should i complain to my retailer 'virgin' about this?

PSN ID: rogue2k7 or Alcopone83

I have only one question for you.. Did you leave the disc next to the PS3 and NOT in its case ?

thnx

take pictures of these spots. ShawDowFX

Indeed, what he said. So far I've only heard reports of issues with the Prestige and only for some.

I have on numerous of times had left the disc inside the ps3 overnight, but usually when I eject a disc I always put it back in it's case.

yeah i did that - omg ur rite dude!!!! but even though the game works now, there are still spots on my disc.kreo20

.....i seriously don't understand how people can leave their blu ray discs in the open like that ... each game is like frickin 70 bucks, you should treat it like a baby!junk56

C'mon people, read!He found the problem. It was the European Motorstorm update and the way he installed it--Not the disc!

To the OP, I suggest you submit some sort of retraction to put some of the more dyslexic readers' minds at ease.

^ You added me right? Anyway the spots on the disc shouldnt cause you any trouble its happened to a lot of my dvds. MAtter of fact my crounching tiger hidden dragon dvd hax a lot of the spots but works perfectly.Miguel16

Yo GZA88, add me to your list. My PSNID is Rzarekta. We have to represent that W.

"omgz0rs.. the ps3z0rs not superiorsz to 3z60 lolz!"

jk.. i actually read the posts.. euro updates.. *sigh*
good thing it's not spots !

So why is it that only when the article came out that people started to notice this "rot". Also the reason it does happen is cause people change the enviroment from really cold to really hot or vice versa and this causes percipitation which then causes rot.Liquid-Prince

people might be noticing it now.. cause they are checking X-x..? or its just starting to happen now..? but i dunno
i really don't think it's happening :| i'm still in that denial stage .. or just not believing

People obviously don't know how to take care of their discs. It stated almost everywhere to not leave your discs in really cold or hot places, or in direct sunlight.

WAIT A MINUTE!!!! WATS WRONG WIT THE PRESTIGE BLURAY?!?!?!?!?! I HAVNT HAD ANY PROBS WIT IT....tokenisadog

I think it freezes couple of time throughout the movie for 5-6 seconds. I believe it happened to me two times when I was watching Prestige. Maybe you gotta newer copy of Bluray... I got mine when it was first released on Bluray. Also updates help solve the problems... i think.

A Sofware update is going to stop the disk from physically rotting?:|

the problem is moisture on the disk for a period of time that eventually causes the rot, it happens to all disks, cd, dvd, blu rays, and omg hd dvd's too. if your not taking care of your disks and happen to spill some water on it and leave it for a week expect it to rot sooner or later. you have never had an old disk rot, i have it happen when i left my sunroof open and it rained on my cd case and i didnt dry the disks.

I m guessing ur in Europe meaning u got the update for motorstorm its becuz of the update what ur supposed to do is first delte the update data fro motorstorm 1.1 and 1.2. Then delet the timeattck update if u have it then boot the game back up download 1.2 then download the Timeattack update again and Ta Da the game is working fine so lock this thread.mcxps3
