WTFFFFFFF... I was about to post about a time when the same thin g happened to me and then I see this post.

MINE was a Diablo 2 disc that exploded! freaky.

then i suggest if anything, yal both call and comlpain to blizzard (maker or w/e of diablo) and tell them how their disks fucked up your extremely expensive, high end cd drives and you want your 700 dollars back, or else.

they make the drives now so fast that they just are too much for the disks... its not rlly blizzards fault... ive seen it on the discovery channel :pimp:

Yup, Mythbusters is the shit. I have to ask, was this a CD? I've heard of this happening with CD's, but not with a DVD yet.

Damn I can't think of another game that has enjoyed this much popularity after 10 years. Man I still love that game!

Anyway back to the point a cd of mine killed my cd-writer a while back, but it was one of those funny-shaped promo cd's.

yea it was a cd. and ive been doin some reading that cheap cd-r have a tendency to do this also older disc that have been used many times may have devloped small cracks in them over time which couldve also cause it to spin apart like that. just gotta make sure the discs i use to have any major cracks in them b4 i put it in the drive.

I blew up an ultima online disc in a drive once, I thought it was because i put it in a little crooked in the drive. Dunno. It happens

if your hard up on cash, ram a broken bit of disc in your eye and call claims direct.

haha a drive manufactoer isnt gonna ever do that, lol

shit happens bro, welcome to the world of electromnics. i dont know if its the fact it was made shitty, or just a shitty brand.

sure you can contact the company, see if they can replace it, maybe they will, maybe they wont. smoke a j and chill mane, youll get over it, just a disc drive :dance:

ROFL, thats fucked up but it's funny. I dunno what went wrong, just get a new driver.
