Unbelievable! (Good thing.)

[The Riddler]

I decided I wanted to play my Oblivion today, but remembered that my Xbox scratched the disc and it was FUBAR.

I read online about disc resurfacing, and then found a cheap method which I didn't think would work, but figured, "what the intercourse , the disc is already ruined, why not?"

It said to rub tooth paste (not gel, mind you) onto the disc and wash it away with warm water.

To my astonishment, it intercourse ing worked.

Anybody else ever find out something that was weird, or unlikely, that was in fact true?

Actually, I found out the same thing. I was watching Martha Stewert one day, and that popped up. It really surprised me how much it worked on my R&C games, Twisted Metal Black, and a large arrangment of other games.

Yeah, my mom told me about that. With her telling me that, I never thought it would work. But I just decided to try it like you did, and it worked.

[Kilroy]

Well, it is a fix, but it's only temporary. Soon enough, the paste will turn to dust and intercourse  up the tray D:

And again, I erased a scratch on a disc with a No. 2 Pencil Eraser. ._.

Meh. I would rather have my disks buffed with a machine at a game store than to rub toothpaste on it. Unless the disk is absolutely destroyed, a machine buff is a permanent fix.

Would this work for old PS1 games?

I tried it with my Rock Band 2 disc.  It worked a little, but not enough to play World Tour mode.

I always just use Windex. When they are scratched up bad enough, I take them to get resurfaced. Except for Dreamcast discs, which have been proven to be destroyed by resurfacing because of their fragility and closer together information.

The little bits just filled it in.
