Well isn't this something.
Might've been fakes? I haven't bought blank DVDs for quite a while though.Quote:

It's like people think Sony DVD+R are good quality discs, they aren't :lol
If you're buying cheap then just get Ritek, they aren't top quality but better than CMC and moser baer.
quite possibly.Quote:

is it possible to repair a scratched disk without a repair device?
also I got refunded for that game I bought.
In the past some Maxell and Memorex were actually Ritek. I probably still have some of those here actually.
been doing some looking but didn't see any ritek that are reasonably priced.Quote:

You could try to clean and polish it but if it's badly damaged I wouldn't expect much.Quote:

Novus polish is probably the best bet, but honestly a professional machine works best. Probably not worth it for a game like this though.
i want moar episodes of cowboy bebop :( halp
Yeah, toothpaste is stupid. It's not gonna fill shit, and it's abrasiveness is inconsistent and pretty crap.Quote:

Thank you for telling me where to find Switch games Nintendo. I ordered myself a jig a bit ago, should be here eventually...Quote:

Any success with the toothpaste or magic eraser?
I haven't got around to it yet.Quote:

I should try some of these with my Dark Souls 3 disc. I take care of my physical games, have no idea what happened to it.
I don't know if any of these tricks will work on a Blu-ray. The Xbone is Blu-ray, right?Quote:

Reason I'm asking is that as long as the inner ring can be read (DS3 dic icon shows up on your dash) you should be able to search for the game on the store and see an install button.
Install the game by downloading the latest version from the store, the disc is only needed to play the game after it is installed (like BC disc installs).
Honestly it doesn't look like there's any damage at all.Quote:

It's a bad XB1 disc if it doesn't show up on the dash at all, pressing fault.
I had a lego hobbit disc like that, returned it for a refund. Got another disc from somewhere else and it worked ok.
First time I installed it, it worked. At least I beat it.
Never has again though. I'll take a closer look tomorrow. There's got to be a gouge or something I'm missing.
I can't run it on pc either :(
2nd one works like a charm though.
Weird that it has worked before and has no marks.
Hold it up to the light? Meeby some pinhole or a label side scratch.Quote:
