My local store told me it was $2.99 to repair a disc.įiguring that I had nothing to lose, especially since my friend Joseph gave me a Blockbuster gift card for Christmas, I thought I’d give the scratched disc repair service from Blockbuster Video a shot. You can see this service on their promotions page. This may or may not be at all Blockbuster locations, so your mileage may vary. Then, poking around on the Internet, I learned that Blockbuster Video had a disc repair service that was supposed to treat even deep scratches. I knew about some of those home scratch repair kits, but I had used something like that in the past and it didn’t do the job. A terrible crushing and rattling noise ensued and I quickly ejected the disc, only to find that it had been scratched horribly. I went over to inspect the system, picking it up and looking at it (bad idea). We noticed that the Xbox was making more noise than usual and nothing else was loading.

The game started to load, showing the Namco logo, and then the screen went blank. So, we put the game disc into his Xbox 360 and prepared ourselves for what would have surely been hours of button-mashing and yelling of expletives.
