Looks like several copies of "The Prestige" on Blu-Ray are rotting with little specs on the disc, rendering the disc unplayable. Note that most of these users indicate that the discs looked perfectly fine when they first bought them.

On a related note, while any new optical format may be prone to disc rot, hopefully HD DVD will be less susceptible to it since it is based on the proven DVD manufacturing process.

FWIW, I have had more disc rot with Sony CDRs than any other make. I have almost exclusively used Fuji, but times when I have used Sony, they have been absolute crap.

More Gigabytes == more rot! oops!

BD should be ready for release in a few years, sucks to beta test it for Sony.

My copy is fine, but there are enough reports from different people that obviously there was a bad batch of discs. Some of the people reporting this problem are hardcore BD fanboys too, so I think it is definitely a legitimate issue...though so far it appears to be isolated to "The Prestige".

Reports are now coming in from various members that The Departed on BD and Stranger Than Fiction are popping up with the same issue.

OMGZ! Bad discs. Zoinks. Hope you gave us a play by play report on HD DVD's bad discs (Hollywoodland, Children of Men, Smokin' Aces, and The Good Shepherd), too... ;)

Then again, that problem was a lot more widespread. Those pesky flippers...
