Congratulate yourself for being crappy towards your games...

Here, I'll start you off.

Congrats! You suck at taking care of games! :)

That make you feel better?

Lot's of good, helpful suggestions, there, lol...I'm willing to assume that you borrowed it from someone else or bought it used in good faith that it was in good shape...Try some disc fix stuff - they sell it on Gamestop, & you can probably find it at WalMart, too.  You can't possibly hurt it any worse. I know some people use a yellow highliter on music cd's, but I think I'd rather use the other, personally. Hope that helps :)

Throw a fit and ask your mom for a new game.

clean it (PROPERLY!) and if it doesn't work afterwards, then sell it to EBgames. :P


first thing to do with a game that's scratched is to clean it, so that you know that it's broken because of the scratches.  my copy of SSBM is so terribly scratched, but since it's not dirty, it's perfectly fine.


you should see my friend's halo 2 disk.  the xbox completely mutilated it and now it doesn't work at all.

You can't repair scratches. You CAN clean discs with water, cleaner, and the stuff you drink from under the sink.

How'd that happen?   :-\

Anyway, you can buy Disk Skip or something like that at Game Stop or Target or what-not.

Try covering it with peanut butter and then rinsing it off with a rag.

It worked for my rented  copy of Anchorman, and it tastes alot better than toothpaste if you get it on your hands, which you invariably will.

Don't tell him that. Come a week from now, the news will be littered with lawsuits dealing with tough and game disk related injuries...
