Ha! I totally know the feeling. I've now received so many of these that I actually have a set up to best bring out the scratches. It's a desk lamp angled just write on a table cloth. I just leave it set up that way now figuring more scratched discs are coming.

What's even nuttier is I have heard SHOUT actually asked some people to make VIDEOS of their discs freezing. I mean, seriously...how many people are trying to take advantage of them to get a free Streetfighter disc vs how may discs are actually scratched and problematic?
