Early PS2 discs were blue. Always thought that was cool.

They actually did this a second time. Some PS2 games are actually printed on CDs and they're dyed blue. These are uncommon though because most PS2 games were too big to fit on a CD.

Another advantage to the black discs, which are actually a very dark violet, is that this type of disc was originally intended for audio and the coating protects the data layer better from UV radiation, which increases shelf life

I remember burning game discs back in the day, and they would not work on regular CDR had to be the black ones. You put in a regular disk until it loads up the Sony logo then swap out to burnt disk. Just need a pin in the part that tells the PS1 that the lid is closed.

ā€œBlack ink is added to the plastic to give the CD its distinctive, cool PlayStation-only look. This also helps to protect the CD from illegal copying.ā€

People been talking about the black discs a lot recently and tbh, I never really noticed/thought about it when growing up.

I remember thinking that there must be something wrong/different with the gold Xbox discs and that's why those games aren't backwards compatible with the 360. Yeah the only games I had that weren't backwards compatible were all gold discs.

I assumed it was an extra protective coating due to children. Hahaha!

When I see this console Driver (the game) always comes to my mind, it was one of the first videogames that I played on it.

it wasn't a speculation. Sony themselves claimed it was for copy protection. did it prevent copying? no, but anyone that knew that they are supposed to be black and was sold a non black disc they'd know they were ripped off and could report it.

Megeman legends is amazing. Ive never really been into megaman but growing up that megaman legends really had me hooked. Such an amazing game that id love to see them remaster for modern consoles.

Nice history lesson. They should have kept that trend, because it does look cool.
