There's a thread running over at the AVS Forums in which people are discussing the problem of what's been termed 'Blu-ray disc rot'. Seems many people are seeing mold-like markings appear on their Blu-ray discs, most notably The Prestige. I'd wonder if this is mearly a manufacturing glitch or something that is going to turn out to be more widespread? Hopefully the former, at £20+ a disc people aren't going to be too happy when their movie collections disintegrate within 12 months. It reminds me of the horror stories that floated around during the late 80's about music CDs that were oxidising and would be useless after a decade or so. Thankfully that turned out to be a false alarm.
I guess fans of HD-DVD may be getting a kick out of this at the moment?
