Sux,but not as crazy(a.k.a stupid) as me playing frisbee with Suikoden II..
Obviously didnt do this when the game was a bazillion dollars,I think I was in 10th grade at the time and about to be 30 now.
If you can see the future while remembering the past, you may just have control of the present.

Honestly, I don't think disc rot is that common. I examined all of my disc-based games earlier this year and none of them have any signs of rot.

As someone said earlier, PS1-era discs that will rot most likely already have. I have a couple music CDs with rot signs, they are only about 5-8 years old. Both CDs are DIY releases so I assume some kind of cheap/substandard pressing was used, unfortunately.

Well I have music CDs I've owned for about 15+ years now. I checked them all with a LED they're fine. Played one all the way through and it didn't miss a beat. Guess I am going to bite the bullet and get some PSX games. Up first, Silent Hill and Parasite Eve 2! :D
