Hi
I purchased GTA4 off someone on another forum (avforums). The game has a scratch on the label side and apparently can't be fixed from resurfacing as I found out when I took it to a shop.
So now I'm basically in possession of a snazzy looking coaster. Are there any other ways I can get a working disc ?. Is renting one from Blockbusters and swapping it an option ?
Cheers
I use brasso on my disks.
brings em up like new.
Yep also used Brasso in the past.Quote:

Oh well, I've sent a 'get the violins out' style email to Take 2 Interactive. Its unlikely but they might hook me up with a new disk :biggrin:Quote:

That's what I was going to suggest, I believe alot of companies will replace scratched discs for a small fee.Quote:

Nah I never knew, the w*nker really done a number on me. I paid by paypal but as a gift so I can't even make a dispute against him. He ain't been on the forum for about 2 weeks, so he's done a runner for the sake of £15.Quote:

I've notified the mods and its been moved to disputes. That was about a week ago. I won't bad rep him yet in case he comes back. Never know he might have a legit reason for not being online.Quote:
