Fixing scratches on discs?
(1/5) > >>

Just recently received a ps1 game in the mail and for the most part it's in perfect condition.  Although there are some small scratches on the disc that do affect gameplay.  The scratches are pretty minor though so I don't want to ship it back or anything.

What's the best way to go about fixing those scratches?

Some video stores can buff them out for a small price. I know family Video can if you have them in your area.

On a similar note, I wanted to mention this: do NOT, for any reason, place Wii discs in one of those automatic refurbishment machines. I bought "Metroid Prime Trilogy" not long ago, and the disc had a huge brown circular burn all over the playable side. My system wouldn't read it, so I took it back, and the second GameStop told me what was wrong. Those discs are very susceptible to heat damage, so be careful.

I have some pretty bad experiences with Wii games also.  A couple years back my little brother scratched up my sister's copy of Mario Kart Wii...in an attempt to fix it we bought the cd/dvd repair kit...one that you put it into this little thing and spin it around...well...instead of "repairing" all it did was create huge and pretty deep swirl marks all over the disc!

My sister was not happy with my brother at all lol

Thanks for the tips on Wii discs guys! I usually take a few discs to get resurfaced every couple months and I was going to bring a few Wii discs this month.

What do you guys suggest for cleaning/resurfacing Wii discs specifically if you can't use one of those machines?
