A ring, does it look like a scratch?

Yes it is scratch-like i thought I'd included that in the above but must of forgot ^_^

hmm well i know i didn't draw on it perfectly with a compass, so the laser perhaps?

Calling take two today asking about it and replacement options and cover etc

not completely stupid, so i got dad to call on my behalf.

They claim its the first Dual layer disc they've done and is (im guessing exaggerated) half an inch thicker than usual. Regardless of how big they made the disc, £25 for replacement.

Hey I'm having a problem reading Blu-ray's... it's a problem with the PS3 though, not the disc!

Half an inch thicker would be an exaggeration of epic proportions. I'm guessing 1/2mm.

You can get disc cleaning things that basically remove a layer of protective plastic from the disc and make it smooth again, and thus readable. The only problem is if too much is removed.

hmm well probably for the best, if paying £25 pounds to lose my copy of GTA 4 for a while means it benefits my exams so much the better

i think your xbox is trying to tell you something ky you play with it tooo much XD

No, just too much GTA in one sitting it's fine with dead rising and the rest, i'm sure it'd never overheat or red ring if i played viva pinata ¬¬

ROFL yeah life sucks like that XD

£25 to replace a £35 game seems a bit steep TBH, it should only be postage IMO.

Xbox 360 chewed up your game, lol!

Its the xbox version of junk food

LOL its not good for you but you just cant stop playing XD

You didn't by any chance do what this idiot did?
