Well, here where I live, there is a gamestore or two around every corner.... No danger of running out of games  :] .

Why don\'t you get the CD doctor?  Or whatever it is called.  The thing that fills in the cracks in CDs?

Bah you know what really has been driving me up the wall lately! I had the copies of FF7,FF8,FF9, Chrono Cross, The Legend of Dragoon stolen along with the rest of my PS1 games!! Now I am on a madd hunt trying to buy them back and the second i go to a place where I know their is a copy (last time i went) it suddenly isn\'t there! Then I go to a different city and buy it their come back and what do you know its back at the place I first checked! This has been happening since  november with Chrono Cross and Final Fantasy 7! I haven\'t had any problem with 8,9 or the legend of dragoon! Just those two and I still haven\'t got Chrono Cross back yet, I convinced Wally Mart to order so now I wait to see if they did or not!

Ya...Remember the good old cartridge days? where you could drop it on the floor a dozen times and it would still work ^_^. I don\'t know why they make console games on discs now...Maybe they do it just cuz it looks nicer :]  who knows, not me :P

heh, my brother used a copy of atari\'s ET as a clay pidgeon. he only barely hit it, but hard enough to blast a corner off of it. it still worked afterward

oh, and the reason to use disks is because they have a higher storage capacity

cd\'s are weirdly fragile.. I once dropped my backup copy of daggerfall on the ground from half a meters height and it went poof and exploded into a million pieces when it hit the ground.. weird :P Luckily it wasn\'t my original daggerfall cd, I would have gone berserk then .P

I had quite the opposite experience :D I used them as frisbees then they shatter to a million pieces whenever they hit something... lol.

Surprising how much they can flex before some CDs break :)

CD\'s might be prefered also because they are cheaper ^^ this way the game makers can make more profit and that\'s what they really want ^^.
Disclaimer: This is my opinion and I can be reasoned with. I'm probably right, though.

xbox sucks because it\'s by microsoft. microsoft sux because of bill gates. GC sux because nintendo has become very lame. windows sucks but there are so many things that only work with it that using another OS sux. the fact that bill gates rules over the world of computing rather than the penguin sucks
