I know everyone says that the last 4-5 generations of games have been mass produced but simply put, a lot of them are not going to survive. Some of the ugliest fucking cartridges that look like they were unearthed from 20 years in a burial plot still play like they are brand new. These disk games can not do that. Im waiting to see what the game collector crowd is like when we are on the PS8. --- End quote --- This is exactly the point I was trying to make. A collector may pass on a beat-up cart because he wants one that looks pretty, but everyone will be passing on these trashed disks because they simply will not play. And I expect the ET cart dig to be very similar to this (for those as old as I am...): --- End quote --- Al Capone's vault may have been disappointing, but what was in the glove compartment of his car was shocking! |

I dunno, I've popped some really, really rough discs into my consoles before just for curiosity, and they work perfectly. I'm talking discs so scratched you can't see your reflection in them anymore. Then, I'll put a disc in that looks near perfect, and won't work worth crap. |

The theory goes that discs naturally start to deteriorate after 30 years+ |
