Show Us Your Scratches, A Thread of Damaged Discs

[zeze]

Most of my discs come scratched now. Universal, Paramount, Crunchyroll/Funimation, Viz, etc. It doesn't really seem to matter the studio (except for Sony and WB where I haven't gotten a scratched disc yet). The last disc I bought Jujutsu Kaisen Part 1 had 10 scratches on 1 disc alone.

I was originally exchanging the discs that came scratched but with the replacements also coming scratched it has become pointless, so I'm just watching them now and if there are no playback issues I am just keeping them. This might pose a problem later on when I have to buy a new player but there really is not an alternative now except for not buying the discs at all. Can't really do this with box sets though as I can't watch all of it before the return period is up so I just get a replacement and try to frankenstein a set together with the least amount of scratches.

With that said the problem is so widespread now that I have significantly cut back on the amount of movies I buy as it is fustrating spending so much money on these discs and most of them come scratched. I'm only buying must-buys now and anything I am on the fence about I will just not get it.

Aside from the 'cutting back', this is almost exactly where I am right now. In the past I'd exchange, but now I watch and hope for the best.
