Blu-ray disc rot? (Home question too)

Blu-ray disc rot is a rumor I heard about a while ago that happened to some people's PS3 games. I never really looked into it, but my questions about this are:

What is it?

How do I avoid it?

And about Home: Does anyone know if it's gonna be free like the 360's avatars?

Disc rot?  What?  I've had Resistance for two years now, and there's no rot .. doubt it's true ..

Home is free ..

It can't just rot .. there has to be a reason .. like someone spilling like coke on it or something and not washing it right ..

It would be a huge thing if it was true .. and I've yet to hear anything about it .. 

That was just 1 instance of it happening to 1 batch of discs of 1 movie... My copy of The PRestige has no such rot :Damericahellyeah

Thank you for clearing that up .. didn't think it was possible with every disc .. ;)

[QUOTE="Scianix-Black"][QUOTE="420Token420"] it was just 1 batch of coating that they must've added a chemical at the wrong time or somethign or to much of something.. their haven't been any reports of BD rot since.. [QUOTE="420Token420"]

[QUOTE="CTUDude"][QUOTE="Scianix-Black"] Yeah, seriously... Unless the coating of a BR disc is organic, I don't see how it could rot. Maybe they use vegetables? Those rot pretty damn fast...Scianix-Black

[QUOTE="Scianix-Black"][QUOTE="CTUDude"] Duh, haven't you heard? Blu-rays are powered by vegetables and love. They were using SCREAM before but they found out that children's love and laughter provided power 10 folds of what SCREAM could do.CTUDude

:lol: Because he can feel any love directed towards the PS3 at any given moment.

My fanboy senses are tingling!
