    I know for a fact some Verbatim DVD's I've seen in the past were CMC and they were totally legit (not from ebay).

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

    I've never heard of ritek not sure if i'd be able to find them.

    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.

    I was implying that the seller may have been taking advantage of brand name appeal.

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

    yeah I've never had that bad of a failure rate before I usually expect a few bad discs but not that many.

    Toothpaste method doesn't actually fix anything, it's just trying to temp fill scratches and that shit won't stay like that even if you get it to work..
    Novus polish is probably the best bet, but honestly a professional machine works best. Probably not worth it for a game like this though.

    Yeah, toothpaste is stupid. It's not gonna fill shit, and it's abrasiveness is inconsistent and pretty crap.
    If you're looking to polish a disc and don't have professional equipment, consider a wet Mr Clean Magic Eraser. It's basically ultra fine sandpaper. Wet ultra fine sandpaper also works well.

    *PSA* Wii Redump collector's can now unscrub ISO files. So scrubbed games can now be verified. You can find the program to do this here
