my star ocean 4 first disk has residue on it (bought it used, said it was resurfaced). when i download it, it doesnt past 14-18% and when i try to play it, it gives me an disk not read error when i am in the space ship (on lemuris). now i tried cleaning with toothpaste and that just made it worse and i am wondering if its possible to download the game from the computer, put it on the hard drive and put the disk in if that would work.
Could you reword this I cant understand what your getting at other than you put toothpaste on a disc.Quote:

its an xbox360 game, i used my cleaning kit and toothpaste to try to get it to download and read past 18% but its not. there is residue on the outside of the disk and its not comming off, actually looks like miniture scratches but i dont know. now i want to know if i download the game iso, put it on the 360 and put the disk in if it will work.
So, instead of returning it, you fucked it over more. Good job.Quote:

funny thing is, this disk is cleaner than my other ones yet it doesnt read and they do.
I Still say the only thing you can really do is return itQuote:

return it, dont use toothpaste on cd's most have abrasives in them even if it doesnt have baking soda in it
honestly, i think the toothpaste actually did make it worse lol. and i think there is a problem, the very center ring (with the lines) has a crack through it. and i can see light through the sticker
If the crack goes into the data on the disc, bam there's your problem.Quote:

And no you can't download it from the internet to get it to work.
before i return it i will see if i can use my friends game first.cant believe i forgot lol. one thing i love about ps3, blue ray is harder to scratch!
Yeah, basically, if there's damage to the sticker on the disc, you can't use it. Simple as. Hope they'll refund you.
Blurays are harder to scratch yes, but they crack in the centre just as easy.Quote:

well the data on the disc may matter but i still dont see why you dont just return it and if needed borrow the other from your friend for a while till you finish it
