scratched disk >:'(

.:kerrod:. · 01-16-2008, 08:07 AM

alright, so i lent my gamecube and super smash bros. (best game ever) to somebody, who then lent it to somebody else, who THEN gave it to the original-person-i-lent-it-to's brother (who is also my friend) and when it came back to me, my ssb disk was scratched and wouldnt work properly. moral of the story: don't trust anybody. now, after all that (

)...i've cleaned it a few times with this scratch remover stuff (few=at least 5 times -_-) which isn't doing TOO badly, but there's this one big mother scratch that i believe is the main perpetrator. my question is, do you have any idea how to fix this (short of buying a professional cleaner or a new game)? I called the local video stores who claimed that their machines wouldnt clean gamecube disks (you know, the machines that take off a layer...). So...suggestions?

Sadly all you can do is either get it "profesionally cleaned" (one layer indeed) or just buy a new copy. I saw a couple at target and gamestop for around 10-20 dollars. This is why I dont like to loan games out to people especialy really awesome games like super smash brothers melee.

yeah, it was a mistake that i'll never commit again -_-

EDIT: are you in the US? cos im not sure if we have 'gamestop' in Australia...we have target though

well, it's no ones fault that it ended up scratched, but, your friends should've consulted you first, before lending it to another person.

Saying that it's no one's fault that it got scratched is like you shooting someone then saying it's no one's fault you pulled the trigger.

And as for cleaning it, it'd probably be cheaper to buy a new one anyway.
