Spacescreamer Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 My GoW Collection game disc has developed cracks on the center eye/hole and i am skeptical of playing the game now. The cracks are not on the data area but just on the clear plastic in the center. I think putting a super glue will do the trick but few doubts crop up.. 1) The disc would be subjected to spinning @ high speeds which means heat will be generated. If this leads to super glue to flake/liquidify its gonna be a problem for my ps3. 2) Is the super glue corrosive in nature? if that is the case, another possible hazard in the waiting. Posting here to garner some advice as maybe some member might have been in similar situation.. Pls do suggest me a solution. Thanks in advance.

Big Boss Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Ditch the game. Using Super Glue and putting it into a PS3 is huge risk. For 1299 bucks game your 20k costing PS3 might be damaged. If you like the game that much, get the game from TP. Its selling very cheap, around 600 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacescreamer Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I recently purchased the game from a member and i think these cracks have cropped up during transit. Havent even played game beyond 20 mins. If restoration is possible.. well maybe a chance. Secondly havent seen anybody sell the game on TP either.

Choron ka raja Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 @Spacescreamer Don't try this kind of thing. It will most definitely result in clogging up some stuff inside your drive. Since its second hand, only option is to buy a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abhi90 Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 when you got the game, the cd was cracked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Flash Of The Leaf Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 ^^ if yes talk to the member u have got it from. Sort it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacescreamer Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Yea the disc i recd had the crack already and i am very disappointed with the outcome. Seller was very co operative and i dont think i should put the blame on him regarding concealing of any detail. I didnt asked for a pic of the center eye of the disc and also other accounts of the disc condition were true that he mentioned. Maybe the disc indeed got the cracks while in the transit.. but how to really 'sort' it out is something even i am not very clear about.. no history of such incident has been recorded. I have asked a mod here how to go about it and he wasnt too clear about the matter as well. Maybe this thread will help me on this front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeehunter Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Nah . Dont use glue and all , it will damage u r disc drive . The centre plastic part breaking is a common thing btw . U can still play. I have one of the game whose centre part broke out but it is working flawlessly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U can still play. I have one of the game whose centre part broke out but it is working flawlessly Even i have a game that has slight crack on the center of the disc but it works perfectly...infact i finished the game without any issues....I dont see any problem with that it should work just like any normal disc....but yea it does kinda hurt when there is something like that on the disc...

Big Boss Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 My friend had original NOLF disc for PC which got some crack in the middle and he put it into his disc drive and BAM his disc was shattered. Luckily his drive was alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemo Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 try toothpaste, it works. though it may damage the lens, for expensive things like ps3 i think its better to chuck the disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman™ Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 ^^toothpaste works for scratches on the surface is true but how can it work for cracks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devil_angel Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Maybe to amalgamate the cracked surfaces together once it dries up. Even so, it's too big a chance to take Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
