I am too, but have been impressed with it so far...no problems with scratches although as the previous poster pointed out, there's a resistant coating on it.

Re: Does the PS3 scratches discs?
I used to be worried about this kind of disc loading mechanism too, but not anymore. Haven't noticed any problems w/ our car's CD player for instance -- and they pretty much all use this type. Yeah, it *looks* like it'd be less safe than the old tray mechanism, but I've had the old tray mechanism leave a scuff ring on a couple CDs in the past too just from how a disc could still be spinning when it's dropped into the tray inside the player.

Not saying the old tray mechanism is bad since that didn't really happen *that* often, but I don't think it's really all that much better, if at all. At least now I don't have to worry about my kids accidentally bumping into the tray and breaking it while it's extended out -- that happened to a previous DVD/SACD player I had.

I've had my PS3 for almost a year and have yet to scratch any dvd or BD.

Re: Does the PS3 scratches discs?
I haven't had any issues with my PS3 scratching a Blu-ray, DVD, or CD in the 3 and a half month's I've had it. It's a great system, just wish they'd include the Blu-ray remote with the console.

That would make me livid. Guess it's good we don't have kids.
