Based on all the tests I'm aware of, that's not true. I certainly have had no problem with any BD in my collection and I treat them the same as any DVD, CD or SACD.
BDs come with a protective polymer coating whereas HD DVDs do not.
Clearly you are biased against Sony, which is fine since you admit it. What I can't stand is when people who hate Sony bash certain formats without saying why.

The relative sensitivity to damage is what magazines, like Widescreen Review, reported among the pluses and minuses of each format. Personally, I don't abuse my discs, so it is not a big deal to me either way. I don't care at all which standard survives, but, it seems important for the market for one to succeed. As I stated above, I would be willing to get a universal machine if both formats are going to be around for a while, provided such machine is high quality and supports all functions (current machines don't meet either criteria).

I am not happy with Sony because of its half-assed support of certain new formats/product lines it has produced in recent times. This is particularly frustrating because the company, until recently, set high standards for product support, quality, etc.
