I bought a ps3 game months back and its starting to rot already.. getting all these small black dots and the game no longer plays. Anybody else had this kind of problem before?
This is a rare occurance that's usually due to some error in the production process. There was a bad batch of "The Prestige" blu-ray discs and a whole bunch of them began to rot. Contact the publisher and get a replacement.
Well like I said this game i had months ago and its starting to rot... Its no biggie. I just hope the rotting will stop or be fixed. Besides I don't buy blu-ray dvd's.
It's because the room you are storing the blu-ray's in is either too humid and musty, or hot at times. The humidity causes the moisture to gather on the disc and the heat can cause mold which can rot the disc. It's never happened to me, but it can happen.
Since you are the first person to ever have this problem with games -> i mean im preety sure as far as movies go also it was ONLY the prestige that had "blu-ray rot" caused by an impuirty in manufacturing ....

First time I heard of something like this. I know that the prototype disc of Blu-ray is now more commonly known as PH-DVD, which is the same concept as Blu-ray but uses paper instead of silicon. Blu-ray and PH-DVD both use a blue laser whereas CD, DVD, HD-DVD use a red laser; Blu-ray disc players can reverse the laser wavelenght to a red one too however. PH-DVD is only used in Japan and South Korea by some companies, but the use of polarised paper (I know it sound strange, but apparently it exists) was prone to aging quality and deterioration. Blu-ray shouldn't rot...
The coating on the bd's is made of a particular material wich tends to "rot" in places with ubnormal humidity such as: garages, canteens, basements and etc. There is a rumor on wich soon there will be a "store in a cool and dry place" warning on them. This also happened on 2nd generation cd-r 's. It's nobody's fault. Motherboards and computer hardware does the same thing. Since silicium (same thing you can find in the coating) is a modified non organic material, it tends to have a collagenal that works to make it work as a coating. basically Ãf it rots...it's your fault. Computer components are to be stored in a "cool and dry place".....it's not to be said by anyone it's just common sense.

They don't "tend" to rot. Its a rare occurrence.
And it's not just BD, other plastic disc have been doing this for some time, it's very rare and nothing to get paranoid about.
Before anyone starts getting to much into that site, please know that it was put together by an avid HD-DVD supporter and contains alot of bullsh!t...take it with a grain of salt...or better yet, don't read it at all...
Oh and i just watched the rest of the video and the guy who made it completly bashes blu-ray at the end...sorry about that, but it does show that they do rot.
