I believe so, but BR (and HD-DVD) discs are heavily copy-protected. It'll be quite a long time before that's taken care of.
-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.

I DONT THINK THATS TRUE ABOUT FINGERPRINTS (sorry caps was on) but a small scratch could kill the disk as the data is close to the surface, that all depends how good the scratch proof layer is
time will tell

PS3 features a Blu-ray drive, no disc are not ruined with a scratch or finger print, you could use a nail on then and they'll work.

Here's the lowdown on BluRay's Hard Coating:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc
Quote:
Hard-coating technology
TDK 100-gigabyte four-layer Blu-ray Disc.Because the Blu-ray Disc standard places the data recording layer so close to the surface of the disc, early discs were susceptible to contamination and scratches and had to be enclosed in plastic caddies for protection. The consortium worried that such an inconvenience would hurt Blu-ray Disc's market adoption in the face of the rival HD DVD standard, as HD DVDs place the data layer farther away from the surface, rather like DVDs. Blu-ray Discs now use a purpose-developed layer of protective material over the reflective data backing (i.e. on the label side).
Both Sony and Panasonic replication methods include proprietary hard-coat technologies. Sony's rewritable media are sprayed with a scratch-resistant and antistatic coating.[5]
TDK also announced a way to remedy the problem in January 2004 with the introduction of a clear polymer coating that gives Blu-ray Discs substantial scratch resistance. The coating was developed by TDK Corporation and is called "Durabis". It allows BDs to be cleaned safely with only a tissue. The coating is said to successfully resist "wire wool scrubbing" according to Samsung Optical technical manager Chas Kalsi. It is not clear, however, whether discs will use the Durabis coating or if the use of the coating will prove too expensive.
Verbatim announced in July 2006 that their Blu-ray Disc recordable and rewritable discs would incorporate their hard-coat ScratchGuard technology which protects against scratches, abrasion, fingerprints, and traces of grease

In the 80s they also told us that Cds would be undamageable.
I'll believe the Blu-ray scratch thing when I see it!

Hello guys. This is my first post and I just wanted to give my 2 cents on this Bluray hard coating issue.
I own both the Toshiba HD-DVD player and the Samsung BluRay player so basically I support both HD formats. I watch the movies on my Mitsubishi 1080p DLP HDTV. I don't buy most of the movies I watch as I rent about 90 percent of the titles on both formats from Netflix.
Now if you've rented from Netflix before you'll agree with me that most of the discs that arrive at your address won't be in the best condition possible - scratches, smudges and actual cracked and damaged discs sometimes get through. This is the same with ny HD-DVD and BluRay rentals. At least 50 - 60 percent of these discs arrive with smudges and scratches.
I have been fortunate though because just a simple cleaning with a lens cloth and solution does the job. All of the discs that have smudges or scratches have played all the way through without a hitch. I've had movies from different studios: Warner, Sony, Lionsgate and the new Disney releases. All of them have had no hiccups despite visible, sometimes extensive scratching. This is true for both BluRay and HD-DVD.
All I can say is that I think this concern with scratching may be a bit overblown. The lasers in these new machines plus the new hard coating technology on the discs are doing their job.
Just my 2 cents.

if you all remember, DVD roms alone were like 700$ when they first came out..now they are like 50$...if you want to save money, give bluray some time, and you will see in a couple months or so,maybe years,they will drop in price. waiting is a good thing for me, it also gives time for them to work out the bugs.

You could scratch it with the worlds sharpest blade and it will work. It all depends on how HARD you press. So if any1 tries this at home, give a 1 to ten score on pressure.
