Damn my little brothers destroying my things! Evil or Very Mad

They scratched Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Gran Turismo 4. The only 2 games that i feel like playing at the mo.

So is there any working way to sort of get rid of the scratches so that I can get these working again?

Cheers.

If there is a CHIPS store near you, quite a few have machines for getting rid of scratches on discs for a couple of quid.

There is a sort of wet-wipe style thing too apparently. I did have a promo sachet of it somewhere but I've lost it. May be worth a try.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I will have a look at them and see what to do/try. And yes the cellotaping of hands together sounds very tempting. Laughing

My DVD rental store offers a service for £2.50 a pop. At a party my PS2 fell off the mantlepiece and scratched the game inside. Took it to them, the scratches were still visible, but the game played perfectly. Smile

I remember years ago we used to fix scratched music cd's with toothpaste.... dunno if it still works but it would sure be a cheaper solution Razz

I tried toothpaste the other day and it was crap.

I was gonna try T-cut but my dad has thrown out a pretty much brand new bottle of it because 'it was with all that junk'. ffs.

Before shelling out for stuff try CDCheck from https://www.elpros.si/CDCheck/

I have been defeated by the scratches.

First I put on motorcycle chain wax and rubbed it into the scratch with a cloth, then cleaned it up. Never worked.

Second, I tried the toothpaste. Rubbed it into the scratch. Never worked.

Third, I put the disc in the freezer for an hour. Never worked. (I was up for some experimentation!)

So it looks like I will have to admit defeat to the all mighty scratches and take the discs to get them done properly! Crying or Very sad

Or i could give this a try, in a last stand against the scratches;
