    Glanced at my farcry 2 disk for no particular reason. Saw it was all scratched to heck. Usually, really careful about handling my optical media. Thought to conduct an experiment to be sure it was my slot-loader that was the culprit. Inserted/ejected blank DVD's known to be clean. Sure enough, scratched. Obviously, scratches get worse more often I reinsert. Anyone else getting this?
