Ever consider a disk condom?  Sounds crazy, but I picked up a 5 pack of d_skin disk protectors last week from Best Buy.  Yes, I am supporting the enemy, but it is not my fault that someone gave me a gift card for Christmas, so I am not directly supporting that crap chain.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the 5 pack version comes in a little metal canister and cost $5.95 (or maybe $6.95).  Each disk slips over the underside of a disk (CD, game disk, DVD, etc), which protects the disk from getting scratches, while allow the laser on your player to read the media.<\/p>\n<p>I picked up a pack because my oldest son does not understand the concept of not scratching his dad\u2019s game disks (especially Need For Speed games).  I just put these condoms on the games that Joshua is allowed to play, and then I do not have to worry about his grubby little hands ruining my games.<\/p>\n<p>So far so good; no problems with my original PS2 reading any of these disks, and no new scratches on my games.  I wish I would have thought of this; the manufactures have to be making a killing because these condoms probably cost next to nothing to manufacture.  In fact, I am willing to bet that the little metal canister cost more than the 5 condoms.  Oh well; maybe my day will come.<\/p>\n<p>Highly recommended!  <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/cgblog\/nucleus\/images\/reviews\/ratings\/rating_buy.gif\" alt=\"Buy\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do your disks need protection?
