I Want My Cartridge!

"But it also renders them more vulnerable to
damage, so much so that the Blu-ray industry
group stowed its rewritable discs in a
protective cartridge, much like a cassette
tape."

OK now I am pissed I much rather have a well
protected disk in a cartridge than a bare disk.
And the industry convinced Blu-ray not to use
it. Screw the industry, the bastards want your
children to handle the disk to distroy it, in
order for you to rebuy a new disk. There is a
ton of information in that bare disk. The greedy
bastards! screw them1!!

Yes, agree DVD should be covered with a better more protective covering. But they are not and they get scratched up. Luckily, they have 90% polymer bottom layer that can be rebuffed at http://www.wefixdvds.com with patented hydro-abrasive technology that will keep your disc cool as it is rebuffed to it's like new stat. This keeps your data safe. After all the laser is just being deflected as it hits the scratched. Note: Blu-ray and HD DVD can be scratched too... But they have a wider beam that can skip over lager scratched the standard DVD player. Also Blu-Ray , PS3 and HD DVD only have 8% polymer layer and you should NOT attempt to fix these at home or by hand.
