Wii disks.

Hi.
Ive just taken Zelda out of my Wii after a 4 hour session on it, and notice that the CD itself has a few marks on it now. Nout major, like scratches, but marks on it none the less. Is that caused by the console?

Thanks in advance all.

Just checked all mine, no scratches on any of them. Have you left them out the case at all? Drive made any funny noises? My zelda has nearly 30hrs playtime on it too and no marks at all.

hmm. i dunnoo. this might not be connected but ive noticed my wii is making periodic noises, like the noise of a disk being scratched in a cd drive. Whats puzzling is that it makes those noises without a disk in there. i cant explain what's causing it.

no marks on my disks though

I keep the game disk in the case whenever its not used, and im very careful with disks anyway.
As i say, its not scratches, its more like dirt, but it wont seem to wipe off for some reason. Even more strange is that trying to clean the disk seems to make it worse!

omgz then it's obviously not as good as the PS3!!111oneeleven!1

it might be writing to the internal flash memory; although i can't imagine that making an audible sound. maybe your Miis came to life and they're trying to get free?

I know mine occasionally makes a wirring sound even when a disk isnt in. But im just asuming that thats the DVD drive aligning its 'reciever' contacts (the bits that pull the DVDs in).
