Game disc flaw

[f1rebrand]

I have to replace my copy of BoP due to a hairline crack in the centre of the disc which has rendered it useless. I think this happens when the game is repeatedly pressed onto the stud in the case until it eventually fractures. This is the third time this has happened to me. Is it just me or has anyone else had this problem? They really should make the plastic less brittle or alter the design of the stud. From now on I think I'll store my games in a cd wallet.

Also I have a pattern of brush mark lines radiating out from the centre of my discs. is this a warning sign that the PS3 drive is about to fail?
