Default Who has scratched blu-rays :D

There's no doubt that blu-rays are incredibly scratch resistant, but I'd be hard pressed to believe that anyone with 200+ films in their collection don't have a single blemished disc in their collection

I take very good care of my discs, but I still have a number that have scratches on them. Some I notice months after I buy the disc... maybe I did it, maybe I just never noticed it...

As obsessive as I am about most other things (condition of slipcover/box even though I don't collect them, dents in steelbooks, condition of cover insert, etc.) I tend to be quite forgiving with scratches, as long as the movie plays through

Anyways, I have about 7 discs with blemishes

Rating them on a scale of 1-10 (1: Hairline, less than 1/4" long, barely noticable, shallow, 10: long, deep, very obvious, still no skips however, if a disc skips, it's garbage)

Alien 3 and one of the bonus discs - 4
Batman Returns - 1
Casino Royale - 1
Collateral Damage - 1
Dark City - 5
Star Wars: Attack of the Clones - 2
(The ones I rated 1 I swore I noticed a scratch before, but can't find them ATM )

Anyone else :P

Feel I should add this: I take incredibly good care of my discs. Of the 7 discs mentioned, 5 discs had marks upon removing them from packaging for the first time. The other two I may have caused myself. Why didn't I return these? Well, to put it bluntly, they just don't bother me enough to make me go through the hassle of returning them, and then there's always the chance that the replacement will be worse. Do I really want to go through it twice? three times? Just doesn't bug me...

EDIT: Now that I've thought about it some more. I can confidently say that all 7 discs were not scratched by mishandling on my part. Alien & Star Wars I blame on the North American packaging, Batman, Casino Royale & Dark City were scratched upon inspection for the first time, Collateral Damage I just noticed last night, but I've only played the freakin' thing once
