The data is a lot nearer the surface of the disc, but this would mean that any scratches have less of an impact as they refract the laser beam less before it hits the data.peige said:As I understand it the data is closer to the surface of a blue ray disk so they had to use a scratch resistant polymer to stop it being an issue.
Apparently it will resist wire wool rubbing... not going to be trying that out thanks !

you know, sony tells that bluray disks have 50gb space... this needs a 4 layered blu ray disk... those disks which ps3 supports have a capacity of 10gb... their quality isnt so big as hd-dvds and the blue laser, which is used to read blu-ray disks isnt so strong like the red one, so blu-ray disks arent so tough and they can be sctratch easily
