Broken disc

[Mage_016]

§%&$¿#§¥

And many other bad words.. My copy of il2 has done it's job. About 15mm crack in the center of the disc. Even i've used it with a silky gloves the crack is getting more lenght. Now I have to search new copy of this console game of the decade. And it's not easy here in Finland. Hopefully i'll find it somewhere. So far what i've checked delivery time is from 2 to 4 weeks. Oh F***

Well, one positive thing is that I really don't even have time to play now. And it's summer, so now I can give more time to flyfishing e.g.

So it has finally happened...remember you worried about that crack going worse. Your warbirds grounded with broken engines, missing parts, stuck in the mud, etc...

Anyway, should you still need it, help is available here. They do ship to Finland within 8-12 days.

Happy flyfishing and hope to see you soon!

Yes, well i'll have to check nearest gamestores first. They aren't so far, only 130km to one direction . But what wouldn't I do for this game.

Thanks for taking care Mac. See you soon buddy.

How come it broke? You made it spin too much inside the ps3?


p.s.: what's the plane on your signature? nazi buffalo?

I'm not sure how did it crack. One day I just noticed that there is little crack from center and now it's getting longer and my ps3 can hardly read it. And I wont put that in ps3 anymore cause i'm afraid that it will split two in ps.

It's Buffalo, but not nazi, finnish air force emblem was swastika too, but it was not standing on tip and it was other way around compared with nazi swastika. Emblem was replaced because it was easily mixed with nazi swastika.

Oh, thanks for explaining me! Yes it can be easily confused with swastika!

See you soon mage!

This the second time I've heard of this happening. F1rebrand suffered exactly the same a few months back- I think he posted about it but I'm unable to locate the post. He had to resort to a new copy as well sadly- 505 and their bio-degradable discs!!!

I have discovered that after playing several hours with ps3, it became very hot inside, also heateing up the discks like a pizza.

Maybe ejecting the hot disc can damage it due very different temperature between inside and outside. Uhm i have to be carefull, maybe i'll buy a backup copy of this game, i've seen some 2nd hand copyes of il2 at store near my house, around... 15 euro each...

Probably the crappy three-pin holding ring in the case. Battlefield: BC2 has the proper twin-pin ring that's much easier on the disc.

That could be one reason, it's very tight.
