Funny how I have rarely any discs to take care of since I've went mostly digital on my laptop, and the 3DS doesn't use any actual discs.
I do have a couple of DVD+RWs around, and... well, the one I have seems to be scratched by itself. Maybe it's the MacBook Air's SuperDrive that's screwing things up. I think that's probably a design fault - where else can you get a perfectly circular scratch on a disc, every time? It still works, but I have a feeling that I really should replace the disc. |

This is why I often back up my discs and use the backups, putting the originals in either their own case or in a rather large CD carrying case. If the backups get scratched, toss and make another one.
I have had one succumb to disc rot before. Nowadays I'm careful to back up important things to various mediums, mainly external drives and DVDs. |

As a kid I was terrible with CDs, most of my Gamecube games no longer work, or get stuck loading certain areas. Fortunately I can at least work around those with Wii Homebrew, and now I take excellent care of my CD/DVDs. The same can't be said for my Wii itself though, that thing runs rings around them like crazy. Not enough that they don't work, but it's not nice to look at. You don't get that perfect shiny rainbow on the disc :3

Apparently the backs of optical media are very easy to scratch, compared to even plastic phone screens. Hmm...
At least I should be glad that one scratch can be easily dealt with by the drives. Too many of them, though, and perhaps decommissioning is better. |
