As a last resort you could try wet sanding with high grit sandpaper (start at about 1000 and work your way up to 2000). Even then you would have to be very even and it would take quite a while to achieve. Probably cheaper to just get the replacement screen above.

Thanks for posting and putting your oops on the spot. You may prevent someone else from making the same mistake. Where ever you read about using Brasso on Plastic, maybe you could submit a feedback there?
The screen might be saved though, use polish for taking scratches out of discs.
Not the coarse stuff for Disc Doctor, but hand applied Plastic Polish.

MS Paint to the rescue!
Here is my experience with Displex on my PSP screen:

The end result is that the scratch is gone to the naked eye, but under light, you can now see the hollowed out 'bowl' on the screen. The PSP looked great with the screen on, but it bugged me enough to justify the upgrade to the 2000 series when it came out. Screen protectors, all the time, from that point on.

If you aren't having a good time, why are you playing?
