Of course you can wear your DVDs out....like everything else in this world the DVDs have got a lifecycle as well which according to the SONY web site is between 21 and 27 years depending on how often do you use them, where do you keep them (in terms of environment), is your DVD reader new or old (older readers scratch the discs far more often than new one, if the reader is more than 16-18 months old - consider it as very old one)....there are a DVDs which are called TITANIUM - they have a special cover which protects them. This way the DVD itself last longer

Yeah, they're the same as CDs. The companies that make them give them an deliberate expiration time (i.e. they will run out after a certain number of uses).
The reason for this is selfishly genius - where's the money to be made in a product that lasts forever?

If you take care of them. They can last 10, 20, or 30 years. How long depends on if you clean them every couple of years, and use a DVD player cleaner. Just don't let them get scratched or leave them in extreme heat.
