All Hail the king of Dorks.

Long may you and your velcro watch strap reign.

thank you for the warning that this was worthy enough to post but not worthy enough to watch.

i like my 3:25, it was a nice present.

When I saw the guy doing the "testing" I knew why the warning was issued.

But who's to say that, when watching the movie, it won't skip? I can flatten the tires of my car and it'll still start, but that doesn't mean it's gonna run like it's supposed to do.

Oh the irony!

/just sayin'

Ummm... Welcome to the jungle? ok. Stop.

Ah, but nerd a dork does not create.

you could have warned about the music too, ouch!

That looked more like an S.O.S. pad not steel wool. The blue powder that came off gives it away.

That guy definitely needs to learn to light a match not like a 5 year old girl.

Yeah, the 5 year olds I hang out with light matches, what about it?

Seeing how "we" was doing the testing, how is it that nobody but our "tester" was around to hold the camera? Oh right, Mom doesn't let anyone else come down into the basement. I forgot.

The test only checked whether the disc was recognized by the PS3, that is whether the inner sectors of the disc were readable. What about the rest of the disc, which contains the actual movie? This is no test at all. Why was this posted?

PS I think SOS is made of steel wool, but perhaps not the most abrasive kind.

The guy can waste a BR disc but can't afford a tripod? The humanity!!! ;)

Dammit. I should've listened to your warning. :( bandit is completely right, this guy is an idiot. What a crap way of testing whether it works or not.

I'm intrigued that the guy filmed all this himself, with the camera in one hand while (awkwardly) doing various things to the disc with his other hand.

but what I did learn that I didn't know before is that blu-ray disc can survive scratches that's sweet....

He could have also put some pressure on the damn disc.

Two hands with the steel wool and I could destroy that disc.

I want my 1hr 13.35mins back! >.< (Dialup *cries a lil inside*).

So Many Points, that many have pointed out, and it's so true.

First off, it will read it so long as the inner strip is still intact! He shoulda watched it straight thru (just not recording that part).

Secondly, he only LIGHTLY scribbled on it with the SOS Pad. And the knife, and the Pen. Wouldve it been so hard for him to call a friend for help? (IF he had friends O.o)

Third, I bet that PS3 of his didnt appriciate the abuse. Bad Bad PS3 Abuser!!! (how would you like if if we stuck shavings in YOUR WII!?)

And Lastly, OMG, lammo music. And using "Night Of Fire" from Disney Dancing Stage for this Video is an insult for all DDR Dancing ppl O.o

So endling verdict, may he forever be unable to own or rent a CD/DVD/Blu-ray/HD-DVD or ANY other electronical device!

Most people don't realize it, but the TOP (printed side) of a CD or DVD is the fragile side. The data layer is much closer to this side than to the one that faces the laser.
In fact, since the laser focuses PAST the plastic, small scratches in the bottom side usually aren't an issue at all.

If you have a CD that's REALLY bad, take a look through it in a strong light. You'll probably see holes right through the metal data layer, corresponding to gouges in the top (printed) side.

Think about THAT next time you set a CD on your desk, printed-side down.
