DimHalo · 01-07-2003, 05:57 PM

well, my mom got Harry Potter Chamber of Secrets game for Christmas. It is a totally awesome game! Sadly, my little sister knocked the PS2 off the stand while I was playing and now the game is scratched. I want the game back sooo bad. Got any suggestions?

hmm, one of those disc cleaners that remove scratches? I dunno...

Dr. Disk or something like that.... works like a charm.

I use this thing called the Game Doctor

it puts a cleanser on the disc, and then sorta sands it down to make it all even. It has fixed every one of my games/cds/dvds that has been scratched over the years.

I think you can use a lens cleaner and just wipe it off (from the middle of the disc outward) using a tissue.

Hope that helps...

and Shiz, what's wrong with Harry Potter?

did somethnig fall on the disc??

cuz just the thing falling over one wouldnt think would cause a deep enough scratch to bother the game at all.

but eh. use a disc cleaner

it could just be ur ps2. i had to exchange my ps2 for a new one cause it was being a bit wacky, but in this case with ps1 games. take it to walmart and make up an excuse, its easy heh

Thanks for all the advice people. But it is a PS2 game so the wal-mart thing won't work. (i would like to try, but my mom said it was stupid) when it fell the door popped a little open so since the disk was still spinning i think it scratched it pretty deep. I tried the scratch remover, like you suggested, but it didn't work. Guess I'm just out of luck.

PS: It is really an awesome game (along the lines of Zelda, maybe a bit simpler) and I happen to be a real Harry Potter fan.

nonono all you have to do is say it was messed up when u bought it and they'll give u the same one for free.

I think the manual says you shouldn't move the PS2 while playing cause it can cause scratches. A friend of my brother had that.
