Same here, actually they were already slightly scratched when I pulled them out, but they play fine. Usually those kind of marks don't make a CD skip or anything. Still, I thought that it wasn't a very smark packaging idea...

To be honest I think everyone here would fully support you doing that.

A scratched disc is very much like a football team, one tiny error & the whole match can be fucked over.

Aye, everytime I take out the discs in the deluxe version they're scratched cos they're jammed to tightly into the cardboard sleeve type thing. Bogus!

Can you not just make a copy of it and play only the copy? And keep the original disc safe in a sleeve so it doesnt get scratched?

That's what I've done.

Not that we should have to really.

I don't quite understand this. If I rolled onto my back and did a poo, the poo would be on the floor and would have completely missed the rest of my body. Surely to make the poo slide down the side of your body, you would need to be doing a handstand while doing the poo? Even then, you're probably going to want to be leaning against a wall at an angle, to encourage the poo to go to your side, rather than just straight down your back.

Or do you mean you would be on your back but with your legs in the air with the knees pushed up towards your head? I suppose that might work.
