I have discovered that after playing several hours with ps3, it became very hot inside, also heateing up the discks like a pizza.

Maybe ejecting the hot disc can damage it due very different temperature between inside and outside. Uhm i have to be carefull, maybe i'll buy a backup copy of this game, i've seen some 2nd hand copyes of il2 at store near my house, around... 15 euro each...

Probably the crappy three-pin holding ring in the case. Battlefield: BC2 has the proper twin-pin ring that's much easier on the disc.

That could be one reason, it's very tight.

My disk cracked too within 3 months of purchase. It was still under the warranty period as stated in the game's manual. Amazon.com, where I purchased it, replaced it for free. I would have bought the game again if I had to.

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...

The soultion is to never let your discs 'click' into the case, press the holder down as you put the disc back in.

(just watch how someone who works in Gamestation or blockbuster does it..they are professionals and have recieved extensive training in disc insertion!.. probably.)

Now I have an image of some specialist tutor somewhere, a butler type with impeccable white gloves, touring the country to train the staff of various stores...

I suppose this is the disadvantage of buying online. In the meantime, I shall endeavour to depress the pins correctly each time. Good tip.
