    Anyone know a way of cleaning game discs?

    I mean XBOX/PS/WII games

    I know they do a 3 for a £5 thing at Game but was told its rubbish and some claim that you can sort them out at home

    is this true and what can be done?

    I have had a couple done at chips (probably the same thing as at game) and they worked great, and they were scratched to hell.

    You can get home kits, but they just dont do as good as a job to me.

    I just bin the broken game and buy a replacement. Easier than fannying around with cleaners etc.

    its for a disabled lad and the games aint cheap
    Not broken either, just scratched I think
    Will probably have to buy them anyway but if cleaning will keep them going a bit all good

    Aye, but he's got six kids and taught at school back in the early 90's so I'm guessing that would put him in his 50s or thereabouts.

    Most people grow out of playing computer games at that age. Just ask ER.

    You've got one son at Harvard and one working for NASA but between you, you can't work out how to download games?

    did I say early 90's?
    If so I lied. as it was 96 onwards so late 90's. finished in 98 <ok>

    However age is no barrier, my father in law loves the racing games on the PS. Has a room dedicated to music and games in his house and he is late 60's
