After a great deal of searching online trying to find pictures of original PlayStation discs with disc rot (or bit rot, depending on what you want to call it) and coming up empty handed I decided to make a thread and ask about it. There are plenty of pictures out there of Sega CD, Saturn, and other early disc based games rotted out, but since PlayStation games were made a bit differently with a black coating on the bottom and usually a layer of solid non-translucent art on the top I'm not sure exactly what I should be looking for when checking original PlayStation discs for rot. I ask because I recently acquired a fairly pricey PlayStation game that I'm planning on giving as a gift but I noticed that on the bottom of the disc there are half a dozen little pinprick sized dots clustered together that look like shiny metallic spots in the black layer. They're definitely inside the black layer and not on the surface of the disc, but due to the solid artwork on top of the disc I can't tell whether or not they go all the way through the disc even when it's held up in front of a bright light. So, I'm hoping someone can provide some pictures of what the underside of an original PlayStation disc that has succumbed to disc rot looks like to help figure out if the game I'm planning on gifting just has an odd manufacturing defect or if it has indeed developed disc rot and should be returned for a refund. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
