First time I've ever heard of it. I've seen it before with discs left in direct sunlight for ages (a year+) but I always thought it was the UV/heat that did it.

About the only disc rot I have ever seen is from cheap ass CD-Rs from back in the late 90s early 2000s. They literally had holes in them after a few years..

I've noticed it's somewhat common with Saturn discs and even some Dreamcast games, they just naturally start developing pinprick-sized holes in them.

If I'm not mistaken, it's unrelated to use.

I thought it was mostly a problem on some cheaper made Laserdiscs...  That I have seen but I've yet to see a game cd with the problem.

My copy of Legend of Xanadu has a pinprick hole in it. Fortunately, it's in a spot that doesn't have any data on it, but I'm still worried about decay. The disc is otherwise in very nice condition.

never heard of it , but i have seen some cheap CDr display it.

It's not something I'm particularly concerned about, as I've not noticed any deterioration on any of the hundreds of discs I own.

Same here. I've never seen it with my own eyes, but I have seen pictures. For pre-Dreamcast games, if it were to rot, it probably would have by now, so just hold it up to the light and see if there any pinholes.

I've seen pinholes on Saturn and SegaCD discs frequently, but copies of the same games I've had since release don't exhibit any holes.  I'm pretty sure that 99.999999% of all holes that appear on those games are due to mistreatment in some way, like people putting the label surface down on something a bit rough. 

The screening on the top of SegaCD and Saturn games is suuuuper thin, making it easy to scratch the top data later part and have holes appear.  I think if the pinhole issue was a widespread manufacturing issue there would be a lot more dead games out there.

Here is a question. Say there is a uber rare game for the Sega cd or Saturn you wanted. And you find it complete but the cd is dead.

Would you still buy it?  Say ithe price is half its typical going rate.
