I don't know, I was buying my own music CDs before I was buying my own video games. I agree that it shouldn't be that hard to keep your CDs (DVDs, BR's, etc) in a safe place, however I can also understand that on occasion, you might drop a disc and have it get scratched and it's pretty gutting. Of course, I've personally had more problems with games in cartridges than I have with games on discs. I don't know why - maybe it's because when they're in cartridges you assume they're better off, maybe it's because the parts can move within each other, maybe it's something else, but cartridges were never invincible. Neither are CD's. Everything has a downside for someone out there, so yeah.
