some of the prints of these game were not sealed after the disc was cut.
You can tell if it has rough edges on the outside and inside ring and you can feel "layers".

To stop this, use some polyurethane and a small brush to seal the inner ring. Let this set for 2 days, then put some protective painter's tape over the top and bottom of the disc and brush some on the outer edges.

Remove the tape immediately and hang the disc from the inner ring to dry for 2 more days.

This seal should last 50 years on the outside. Inside one might need to be re-applied depending on frequency of use.

I did the same thing for my laserdiscs, and it works great.

A silicone sealant would work as well.

I just decided to go check my MGS TS copy for disc and found this.

It's been stored in a basement with a dehumidifier in Nebraska for ten years. There's no chance it's been water damaged. All of my other GCN discs are in perfect condition. This copy of MGS was bought on day 1, it looks like the original print run of MGS TS is defective. This kind of rot can happen if there was humidity caught in the manufacturing process.

Nope, sometimes disc production gets humid and the discs don't last.

This isn't even disc rot, it's a manufacturing defect. Every copy of The Prestige had the same problem except at a much more extreme level during its first production run. Everyone misidentifies it as disc rot:

Actually, I dunno how the Wii disc drive works, but I could see it rubbing the top of the disc slightly because it does contact the top of the disc. That might eventually lead to damage. GCN doesn't touch so it'd be safer.

No I don't need a better source than the first result on google. It's something you can google yourself, seriously it's just "blu ray the prestige rot" and can find a thousand identical results.

No. More misinformation from autistic people. Just go to sleep and never come back.

The idea is the chemicals the disc is made from de-bond and wear down. Causing the layer of data (not the top image) to be blocked off from the input method. Something that won't happen for another few hundred years even in poor conditions (see ocean plastic for more information)

A poor job placing the layer of data on the plastic and the image on top the data layer is not discrot.

In any case the PAL version is made in Japan. Knowing that the PAL, US and Jap versions were released the same month, I don't see why it would not be made in the same factory.

Nice equivalency, brainling
You don't see a purpose to distinguish rot as a 'naturally' occurring chemical process from mechanical defects that 1) don't immediately stem from the storage environment and 2) mustn't have an effect on the disc being readable or not?

This same old retarded argument again.

Being careless won't cause disc rot, it just helps anticipate it, it's a basic shitty form of fast aging.

ALL media will decay. Disc rot will occur to you, the most you can do is make it take a little longer, but even then not against all forms of "disc rot". Manufacturing defects like sulfur contamination will ruin even sealed copies. There's jack shit you can do.

I love how delusional collector/physical fags force themselves to become just to deny that all physical media will eventually degrade and become useless.

Nothing lasts forever, you morons and no matter how well you take care of your toys, they will eventually break down, that's just the reality of things.

All my backups will die some day, but, I accept it, because I don't worship this shit like a stupid child.

Argue all you want, your media is getting closer to its demise each day.

>>4866790
Is your PS2 a slim model, and are the scratches rings? If so it’s because the adhesive that holds the ribbon cable onto the heat sync has worn off and now the ribbon cable is protruding high enough to scratch the Disc. This is a common issue with all PS2 slim models except the final version, because the ribbon was relocated elsewhere.

If not disregard all this. Maybe your laser pot is too high and needs to be readjusted lower.

Talking about TS
I think is just Poor quality of manufacturing. most of it in the type of painting they used.

in my copy of TS the disc 2 is in perfect condition while the disc1 is like this.
Totally playable with no issues. but it seems to me that the painting of it is what is wrong. not the actual disc.
