Gaming disc getting scratched?

[Bizdustry]

What’s the best advice you can give if a gaming disc gets scratched? I remember one of my discs getting scratched and it would still work but randomly crash at regular intervals as a result.

I am assuming there’s no way to remove the scratches and prevention is better than cure in this regard

You can put in the refrigerator for some hours, like 2. It really works on discs generally. Those times when my CDs would scratch and the movies would skip incessantly, I use this tactic on the disks and it always works.

There was a hack I used for my Playstation 1 console game disc back then. It was using powder to clean. Apply small powder on the surface and use clean soft cloth preferably a cotton material handkerchief to clean it. It used to work for me then. You can try it and see if it works. 

Ps. This is why I've upgraded to fully only digital games now.

You can try disc repair kits or toothpaste tricks, but prevention is key. Always store discs properly!
