And why would they ship you new discs for something that is out of there control (you scratching the discs)? That would be alot of work for them to do if everyone that had scratched discs asked for new ones every couple of years and not to mention shipping fees and cost of the discs. Unless you keep them stored away untouched forever in a safe somewhere. It's pretty much a guarantee that some day your discs will be too scratched to use.

My original Starcraft BW was scratched to shit too and wouldnt install so downloaded the ISO and put in my original SC key and voila. And as long as you have a legit key why not use an ISO? You could burn it to DVD if you really wanted to. Why did you go out and buy the game discs again? Why not just use the ISO? That's a case where it actually may be legal to have a copy of the ISO since you already own the game discs. And IIRC correctly even if you do purchase and download from their EA store, you only get 3 years access to the game file unless you pay a price premium to have access forever (if that's even an option I can't seem to remember if that's true or not hehe) What they SHOULD do however is allow you to register your games and have their ISOs available for download on their site.

is no software package or CD key requirement to activate the account. And as long as you have a legit key why not use an ISO? You could burn it to DVD if you really wanted to. Well send you an email with a gift card code which you can then use to add game.
