In the end you are going to buy another Game or DVD. You may teach him a lesson by not doing so but the aggravation that goes along with a lesson of this magnitude is not worth it, believe me, I have spent thousands of dollars on Videos Games for my son and if the original gets scratched beyond repair my life would be miserable until I gave in and bought another. Teaching your kids a lesson is one thing, implementing it is another. LOL, I do agree with all of you though.
