I bought Ratchet & Clank 3 from a video game store as a new. I enjoyed it greatly - actually I thought it was pretty incredible - but suddenly after playing the game around 13 hours the game just stops working. I boot the game few times but still, it's not working. Then I decided to take a good look at the CD. A scratch! I never took the CD away from my PS2, not even once. So, somehow, the game got the scratch while it was inside the machine. The store isn't taking the game back and I'm not buying it again just to play it few more hours. Only thing I can do is to utter watered down curses.
I figured, as it's a loss/loss situation anyway, to ask if anybody knows any magical tricks to fix a scratch. I heard toothpaste works (yeah right).
