Ha if you buy games from me that I bought new I can promise you the only scratches you see are the lightest of light. I don't know why it's hard to put them back in the case
I have been looking for a device like that ProCare machine for 2 yrs I got one from GameStop once with a different brand name...but was exactly the same as the one you showed...and it worked MIRACLES for my son's game discs. I was told such devices were no longer made. I am SO glad to see one in your video!!! I now have hope of finding one...and have a brand name to search for!!! I am Ebay or Amazon bound!!!! Thanks! Love your videos!!!
Even if you're not putting them back in the case right away and set them aside, you should at least be smart enough to leave the data side up, so that it only collects dust, and not scratches.
Since a DVD consists of a transparent plasticky disc and a thin, vaguely magical film containing the information, you would be better off putting the plastic side down. This way, there would be less risk of ruining the tiny grooves on the information-layer-thingy (notice my highly scientific language).
I know your pain Ashens. My games are otherwise in great shape other than the stupid pricks who leave them out before we purchase them. I've gotten some per-owned disks that were not only scratched to bloody hell but for SOME reason had the center rims CRACKED! Has anyone around the depths of youtube ever gotten disks second-hand that are chipped or cracked around the center.
i had one of those too xD my gramma bought it in Juarez haha it was sweet of her to have thought of me but piece of shit didnt work at all x/ it broke like a minutes after trying clan the disk it fell apart haha
I still have resident evil 3 for the ps1, tried everything to make it work, still doesnt, will go to the game station and check it out if it can get fixed there, thanks for the info.
I might spend money on one of these when someone can prove they can change a none working disc back into a working one. Making an already working disc look a bit cleaner is not worth spending money on.
Putting and not putting disc away properly seems to be a gender thing, like opening jars and knowing the offside rule. Me and my Dad always do it, my mum and my sister never do it, even though I tell them contently what will happen if you don't put it away properly.
@buc555 In my case, it seems to be more of an issue of age. I keep CD's and DVD's in their correct casings. But my mom will leave them out, and my stepdad will do every wrong thing under the sun. I routinely find disks in the wrong case, double-stacked or left out of the case. A few times I even found one with three CD's stacked on top of each other. Drives me absolutely batty.
I keep my Halo games at the front, on top of the 360, not in cases, so it's one simple grab to get them. Not a scratch, even with them faced up. (Anniversary needed a small clean to work today though, after that it worked perfectly)
I want cartridges back! They looked awesome and today we could make cartridges that don't break, and have loads of memory / flash memory. Next console should go back to that, you could always see what game was in your console, it was awesome. N64 was the last big console that did it and they shouldn't have changed it.
@junkietomato Not really. The only advantages discs have now are that they're far cheaper to produce. Cartridges/flash memory can hold more data (there are SDXC cards that can hold up to 2 TB of data, compared to a dual layer blu-ray disc that holds 50GB), have faster read times (remember how we didn't see nasty load times until disc based systems or add-ons started coming out), and are more durable than discs (no need to worry about scratching or a case).
The only problem is that the cost advantage is a huge one in disc's favor. Games would have to be far more expensive to cover the cost of the tech. Publishers don't want that and consumers don't want that. So discs it is.
@MichelDeCoeyer Unfortunately, they probably wouldn't do that. See, game manufacturers want to squeeze every last penny out of their income, and optical media is their best bet for physical storage because they are so inexpensive. With cartridges, they would have to get ROM chips to store the game and plastic casing to store the ROM chips, among other components.
It's quite sad, because cartridges were very durable and awesome-looking.
It is much more cost effective to manufacture disks. 25 4.7 GB cost around $10. One 32 GB flash drive costs around $20 ($40 if it uses USB 3). They are also much cheaper than the old ROM cartridges that old games were on. Games would cost more than they do now if they were on cartridges and would be a terrible business decision on the part of the business if they did so again. It is fine for low-memory portable games like on the DS, but costs too much for large console games.
@morales8697 I personally call that a problem with idiots moving their consoles while the consoles are trying to read a disc. What intelligent human being ever does that?! Consoles are designed for sitting there not being moved, not being picked up and walked around with like a portable CD player or laptop. Leave the 360 alone when you're playing it and you won't have any problems. They even put a sticker on the disc drive that tells you that when you buy one.
Discs for games are boring... the cartridges had a whole mistery to them... even the UMD things, but DVD and Blu Ray all look like a boring usual CD... and soon will die D:
Still thinking which person would be retarded enough to lay a disc on any kind of surface with the "reading side" facing down...Then complain for scratches later.
The book was released in America as "The Golden Compass." Really fantastic trilogy. My undergraduate research project was about that series and C.S. Lewis's space trilogy.
@Masterguy1243 OUCH ! not dude, bird.. and my discs are kept in perfect condition in truth!!! my daughter however is a pig with them .... it was a tongue-in-cheek comment ... lighten up or you may make yourself look like a complete grouch :-)
We have a cheaper solution in this house ..... you lick the disc, then wipe it in a circular motion on your dressing gown ... this only works if it is a chenille or towelling dressing gown, ... you can sometimes get a good result with the curtains, but don't attempt to use the cat, the hair comes off. Do NOT lick the disc if youve been drinking cherry brandy, banana milkshake or anything sticky... avoid putting the disc anywhere near your mouth if youve just eaten a peanut butter sandwich.
The book is called the northen lights the film company decided ''the golden compass'' was better even though its called an Alethiometer, which is never refered to as compass, it dosn't look like a compass, it dosn't even function in the same way as a compass. It is gold though I guess.
you will not like my games collection for the 360 then, it's made of about 90 dvd's (no boxes) stacked on top of each others, can't count the times I've tipped the whole thing all over the floor, been using that thing for 5 years and no dead discs so far. Imagine the fun when looking for one specific title.
I have one of those rotary CD cleaner things (though it only has one pad). It just leaves the disc covered with residue from the stuff you spray on it, and after about 3-4 uses the top plastic bit became unglued from the rest of the case. Well, you get what you pay for at pound land lol
In addition, it seems that CD/DVD players these days are much more robust against scratches and dirt than those of 10 years ago...
@Tomsonic41 Dirt is still a pretty deadly thing, cover the disk in fingerprint layer and it certainly won't play. However scratches aren't really much of a thing, you can paint up to 1/8th of the disk surface black and it'll still work through error correction... making it pretty unlikely for scratches to ever be the culprit.
Though with time, especially in light, some disks delaminate, which is almost invisible large area damage which is uncorrectable.
Or you just become part of the PC gaming master race and buy your games on steam. You can buy games that came out over 15-20 years ago like Doom and Wolfenstein 3D.
@xTrotts2618x you root for it because its the only centralized place to digitally download/buy games. the program's very inefficient, chopping up your RAM's memory.
If valve gave two shits about it, steam wouldn't be so buggy in the first place. So steam fucking sucks, doesn't mean I don't see myself forced to use it.
@silverhawkroman How is it inefficient? Do you have like, 512MB of RAM? Steam gives a service so good that it's been making pirates switch over. Valve DOES give a shit about Steam, as well as it's users, and bugs rarely arise. Even if there are, they get fixed within a day or two. Just look at the Steam Holiday Sale. New specials everyday, and everyone has a chance to win new games.
Either prove that Steam sucks with some hard evidence, or gtfo.
Yeah that's why you barely see NEW console games on the shelves that came out more than 6 months ago. Not to mention that consoles rely on disks and to put the cherry on top of the shit cake you have to pay for xbox live. Enjoy being unable to play the classic games you bought after this generation goes belly up.
The reading lasers of games consoles have a tendency to scratch their own discs after a prolonged amount of use - just take a look at any GTA game released. Despite this though, the consoles are still able to read the games without too many issues.
@DylRicho Especially when people have a tendency to do stuff like turning off their system without quitting a game first. Or moving their system around while the disc is still spinning.
I feel your pain, ashen, I really don't get why people can't take care of discs. All of my games back to my PS1 are in mint condition, including the cases. My PS1 games are in poor shape simply because I was a 10 year old idiot, lol.
The Karate Kid disc seems to be quite scratched on top as well. Sometimes that can be even worse than being scratched on the bottom. It may not be recoverable.
these games are from blockbuster and are ex-rental i used to work there. and the reason ex-rental games are always scratched to fuck is because of the shit filing system they are all kept in clear acrylic plastic sheaths and they scratch the games.
I wouldn't trust GameStation too much with repairing discs - someone I knew bought one, and noticed the disc was noticeably thinner than other discs he had. The disc then broke his game console. On closer inspection, the disc had been sanded so thin the disc warped in the drive. It was either sanded too much, or had been traded in loads and had been sanded every time.
Your on a low budget and you go to maplin ? -_-

@xTrotts2618x you root for it because its the only centralized place to digitally download/buy games. the program's very inefficient, chopping up your RAM's memory.
If valve gave two shits about it, steam wouldn't be so buggy in the first place. So steam fucking sucks, doesn't mean I don't see myself forced to use it.

@silverhawkroman i never knew using 50mb of ram was inefficient, then again i haven't had 1gb of ram since 2004 so..

@silverhawkroman How is it inefficient? Do you have like, 512MB of RAM? Steam gives a service so good that it's been making pirates switch over. Valve DOES give a shit about Steam, as well as it's users, and bugs rarely arise. Even if there are, they get fixed within a day or two. Just look at the Steam Holiday Sale. New specials everyday, and everyone has a chance to win new games.
Either prove that Steam sucks with some hard evidence, or gtfo.

@junkietomato Yeah, to bad it's impossible for console gamers to do, sadly XBOX Live, PSN and WiiWare won't be invented until 2053.

Yeah that's why you barely see NEW console games on the shelves that came out more than 6 months ago. Not to mention that consoles rely on disks and to put the cherry on top of the shit cake you have to pay for xbox live. Enjoy being unable to play the classic games you bought after this generation goes belly up.

The reading lasers of games consoles have a tendency to scratch their own discs after a prolonged amount of use - just take a look at any GTA game released. Despite this though, the consoles are still able to read the games without too many issues.

@DylRicho Especially when people have a tendency to do stuff like turning off their system without quitting a game first. Or moving their system around while the disc is still spinning.

@XjInterceptoR Good for you. Consoles do scratch discs.

I feel your pain, ashen, I really don't get why people can't take care of discs. All of my games back to my PS1 are in mint condition, including the cases. My PS1 games are in poor shape simply because I was a 10 year old idiot, lol.

The Karate Kid disc seems to be quite scratched on top as well. Sometimes that can be even worse than being scratched on the bottom. It may not be recoverable.

these games are from blockbuster and are ex-rental i used to work there. and the reason ex-rental games are always scratched to fuck is because of the shit filing system they are all kept in clear acrylic plastic sheaths and they scratch the games.

i had one disk cleaner from philips and it used to scratch my disks.

I wouldn't trust GameStation too much with repairing discs - someone I knew bought one, and noticed the disc was noticeably thinner than other discs he had. The disc then broke his game console. On closer inspection, the disc had been sanded so thin the disc warped in the drive. It was either sanded too much, or had been traded in loads and had been sanded every time.

WHAT THE HELL! You can get a dvd cleaner from 99p stores? I used to pay £5 out of QD, fuck you Anglia Square.

Also, you'll rarely find scratches on a ps3 game since blu-ray doesn't scratch very easily.
