Postby Coolhand Texas » Fri, 18 Mar 2011 04:49

Somehow my TS4 disc got a scratch in it. Dont know how it happened but its there. It freezes all the time during middle of matches.

I dont have any extra money to spend on games for awhile. So it looks like im going to be out of commission for awhile. :( :(

Tournament host for which ever warm up tournament could you please remove me from the list :cry:

EDIT: Thanks Jayl0ve, I could care less if my TS3 disks gets scratched. :lol:

You mean TS4??

If you wanna be a dick, try to sell it back to Gamestop or wherever. They probably won't even notice the scratch unless it's huge.

Don't do that though :lol: Bad karma.

Can you still load the game onto your hard drive?? Do that, and you'll only need your disk for start-up. Should work. Right? 8)

Well I don't care about screwing corporations, but if you sell it back to Gamestop they're just gonna sell that to somebody else, who's gonna be super-pissed when they put that game in.

You're not talking about doing that though so I dunno what I'm saying :wee

my friend working in the video game store told me that it happens more often than you think. They just take the game back and send it back to distributor. They give the client another brand new game to replace it most of the times but it depends on the game store and guy working there. If he's an *ss then he'll say he has to wait for the distributor to confirm the flaw then send you back a replacement.
Try it, you dont have anything to lose. However i wouldnt "sell" the defective game, its not fair... you have the right to exchange it.

Isn't there like a toothpaste trick that you can do to polish out the scratch? I think I read something somewhere about it.

Did you try cleaning up the disk with a bit of wet tissue than drying it? I had the same problem with TS3 and it worked it out pretty well.

I did it with my one-and-only TS3 Disc. Worked like a charm and never stopped working, still does. 8)
