Blockbuster and Previously Viewed DVDs

[xtreemman]

I was wondering how blockbuster gets their discs scratch free when they resale them as previously viewed? Do they just use extra ones that were never rented, or is there a way to remove minor scratches?

It's called Disc Doctor, and is polishes the surface of the disc back to clean. You can only do this a couple of times though. It is like machining the disc in the brakes of your car.

My local Blockbuster used the Skipdoctor on there's.

Hollywood is a better place to buy used DVDs. They give a 1 year guarantee on all DVDs, new and used.

Skip Doctor/disc doctor

Those cheap one's you can buy anywhere

If blockbuster is using one of those small cheesy resurfacing machines they are truely the bottom of the cesspool, not that i ever liked them or rent anything from them 8)

The "Family Video" about a block from me has one that is the size of a ten gallon aquarium, huge ass machine!! around $800.00 +
I've taken dic's in there i own, even some old PS1 games, and have acouple of the girls there i know run them through it, they come out looking brand new!!!

Even some rentals i have gotten from them had big ass gouges and i had them run them through before taking them home and you could barely see where there was a mark before!!

I tried one of those skip-doctor thingys once. I dunno maybe i didn't do it quite right, but wow not even close. What a peice of CRAP.

Those Disc Doctor things are crap, they don't do anything except steal your money. Blockbuster sometimes re-surfaces and re-buffs the discs. Other times they do nothing.

Thanks for all your comments, I guess what I was looking for was something I could get and use at home for some of my dvds and cds that have some scratchs on them.
