Live and learn I suppose. Perhaps the vendor who did the resurfacing went to deep on the buffering...

ive never had a problem and this disc looked REAL BAD.

Yeah that's pretty much impossible considering the data's on the label side of the disc. Rest of it is all plastic.

No. The info is in the plastic. Bumps are made in the plastic to record 0s and 1s. The metal before the label only reflects the laser.

Does that really matter? The bumps are right next to the reflective part anyway.

Point is, you can't destroy the data on the disc just by resurfacing it, short of like, grinding the disc down to absolutely nothing.

Or doing something dumb like trying to resurface the label side.

The same cannot be said for GDR discs or BluRay?

Anywho, if Vlame's game worked (I am to assume) and no longer works after the resurf, what causes it to no longer work?

It did work. The resurfacing took away smaller scratches but made the bigger ones more visible and therefore problematic.

Kinda like on a dirty wall you wouldn't notice graffiti until you clean the wall, now in a way the wall looks worse because the larger problem is showing.

Dunno much about GD-Rom, but Blu Ray actually has the data layer a lot closer to the surface. That's why deep scratches on blu rays are more problematic and dangerous.

Didn't SONY push people to buy those disc-protectors (a cellophane wrap around a rubber-band) to prevent scratches?

Lol off topic. No others ideas than to resurface it again?
