    Who knows of a good CD/DVD repair option?

    Looking to try and restore/refurbish some of my media that I've been unable to transfer to electronic versions currently since I'm in the process of building my virtual library. Would at least like to try and salvage a few of the discs before just giving up and buying replacements.

    Grab some printable DVDs
    Get a 100$ish inkjet Printer that prints on DVDs (Or thermal if you want professional results)
    Find a nice Custom Cover site (The free ones are usually junk)
    Download or rip copies of your disks and enjoy

    other than this grab a disc doctor, they actually work.

    Have you heard about the Game Doctor™?

    Eugh, that was a horrible period when I was working at EB. However cheesy those devices are, they work pretty damn well.

    However, if there are scratches or damage to the label side of the disc, you're pretty much hooped. There's very little material between the label side of the disc and where the laser actually etches the data, so scratches on that side can destroy the data and no amount of "shiny-side" resurfacing will fix that.
