What is the safest temperature to store, for instance, PS3 and Xbox 360 games, Blu-ray movies and DVDs? 110 degrees too much or are these discs pretty tough when it comes to sustaining damage from temperatures?

Where do you live? Iraq?

No, but it gets about just as hot.

450 degrees for 14-15 minutes. For a crispier crust, put disc directly on the oven rack. Cool for 5 minutes and serve. Enjoy!

Seems like it.

110 degrees should be OK but keep them out of direct sunlight.

There's no direct sunlight but the room temperature will be about 110 degrees. In fact it's stored away in the dark. Problem is, there's no air conditioning as the air conditioning broke and it might not be until a day or two before I get air conditioning back. Room temp will probably reach about 110.

And in case you're wondering, the outside temp around this time of year gets to be about 120. Sin City.

110 should be ok, I believe optical media can be stored between -5°C and 55°C (23°F to 131°F)

If you can put them in a cooler spot though, I would do that though. I feel much better having every disk I have in a house that is always between 70-80°F.


Where are you keeping these anyway?

Collector's discs are in closet with door closed, hence in the dark. Temp in room outside of closet may get up to 110 tomorrow, hopefully not.

All other discs are in a shelf with 360 games in front of PS3 Blu-Ray games and my DVD and Blu-Ray movie collection beneath that.

I’m not so sure how “solid as a rock” helps people forget the fact that we built houses in Iraq.

I love that.
