do back-ups hurt the DC system?

[ayoni]

actually it is. since the dc has to spin a cdr-game twice as fast to play it like a gd rom which will inturn double the wear on you dc motor causeing it to kick the bucket allot sooner. there have also been reports of people's DC's locking up even on non-burned games. I'm all for back-ups and when mine breaks, i'll just get another one.
