Too many of us have had to face the problem of paying upwards of 60 dollars for a videogame not once but twice when a relatively small scratch, the result of an unintentional accident or even the console itself, has rendered our esteemed purchase all but unusable. So much time and money out the window. It is more than enough to make even the calmest among us break down and lose it!

The thing with scratches is that we never know when or where they might happen. They are just as likely to be caused by a stray pet, an out of control child, a fully functional gaming system, improper factory packaging or just plain old whoops type accidents. Furthermore, the size of a scratch on the disc does not necessarily reflect the seriousness of damage it does.

A dvd can be completely scratched to the naked eye yet still remain in almost perfect playable condition while another may have only the smallest of scratches and be completely unplayable. It is extremely hard to tell, then, if the next scratch, be it the first or the last, is the one what will render our software unusable.
