How to Make a PS3 Disc Work With Scratches on the Front

The PlaysStation 3 (PS3) is a seventh-generation video gaming system. Since its introduction in November 2006, it has sold more than 50 million units. The system utilizes several media formats, including PlayStation game discs, Blu-ray discs, DVDs and compact discs. Over time, a gaming disc can get scratched, which may affect its playability. The best way to get your PS3 disc working again is to clean the disc.

Brasso polish

  Apply a dab of Brasso to the tip of a cotton swab. Use the cotton swab to apply the Brasso to the damaged areas of the disc. Rub the cotton swab gently onto the damaged areas of the disc using small circular motions. Continue to apply the Brasso until the scratch disappears or lightens.
