I hope it sees some good use :)

I never buy used anymore because half the time it looks as if someone wiped their ass with the disc. I may as well teabag my games before trading them in.
 
Where was this thread when I had to send back Max Payne 3 before even playing it due to some sort of corrupt save install data? I woulda flushed that shit quick.
 
I remember something like this, it's the equivalent to "blowing the bottom cartridge" for CD's. I know the alcohol and toothpaste, but I've heard of cases where if you flush your CDs, it works after.
 
I can bet that you've made a bet to get a Gaffer to flush his game disc down the toilet.
 
Is fear of the toilet an American thing?

Flushing is, as evidenced above, a well-documented method. Once, my keys became badly tarnished with soot. I put a spot of Brasso on a dessert plate, and laid my keys on top of it, inside the toilet. One flush later, and they looked brand new.

Maybe experiment or do some light reading before you condemn it.

You genuinely sound like you're from the 1940's mate. Fucking Brasso... HAHAHAHAHA. This thread is golden.
 
Not sure if I'm more amused by flushing a disc in a toilet fixing it, or people who think its gross. It's not like you're putting the disc in your mouth, they aren't amiibos.

Even after this whole thread I'm not 100% sure if this is real or not.
