Yes..

T'is true.

I can see the game slowly degrading on the screen, Mainly cause the disc is very very grubby.

Point of topic?

Good disc cleaning methods please.

GO!

Bah.

Any home-made methods, without having to spend money?

Toothpaste aye?

Hmm I could try that, unless your trying to con me into using it to make the disc look like its got white streaky marks all over it...

Comical....?

No, I'm being serious. I think the toothpaste is more for dealing with little scratches than cleaning the disc off, though I have no idea why this would work. So you might want to try some cleaning method first - take it in the bath or something. But still, the prospect of minty fresh Halo makes it worth a gamble, surely?

Disclaimer: I've never tried this myself. But my sister, who uses her CDs/DVDs as coasters and has to do this sort of stuff quite a lot, absolutely swears by it.

Hmmm.

I heard putting the disc in boiling hot water for a few mins might help.

Anyone tried this?
