Broken disc

[Jim di Griz]

It's not just Sturmovik folks - I had to send a copy of Dirt 2 back to Play yesterday with exactly the same problem as this. I hope they honour the returns policy as the game is less than a month old.

My experience, the same kind of crack was suddenly there meaning the game wouldn't even load. Like the original poster, I was always careful, not a smear left on it, let alone a scratch of any kind on the surface.

I'd say it looks like dodgy materials are being used, or a bad batch of discs were supplied to the different companies.

I hope this kind of problem gets nipped in the bud before it becomes a more common problem...
