So i was loving Street fighter 4 - You may have noticed the use of a past tense Prefix there - because until this morning i wsa loving it to bits- until ironically enough -the
'indestructable' game - destroyed itself.
I am not aware as to how this happened, but all over a quarter of the disc surface is a series of little pock marks and smudges in a trapezoid shape.
Last night when i last played the game i took it out of the ps3 and put it into its case - nothing was spilled, nothing was dropped - nothing touched it at all, however this morning upon taking it out of the case and putting it in the ps3 - the disc waas not read - upon taking the disc out of the ps3 and checking it -i found the marsk mentioned above.
So i took it to my local gamestation and said can you use your clean/repair machine, they said blu rays are protected differently and unable to be used in machines but the disc looks fine and should work (Though they politely declined when i asked them to try it out on their store ps3.)
So i went to work and fumed about it all day, when i got home i tried the disc again for good measure - SUCCESS!!! The disc was read, however once i got to the arcade mode character select, and chose sakura -the ps3 froze up on me, forcing a hard reset, this occured every time i chose a character
Next time i booted the disc up and left the titles running it froze again - leading me to believe its the FMv part of the disc that is fucked (seeing as the training mode works fine)
So now im left with £50 game that doesnt work, play.com are out of stock (the only place that sells the game cheap) and i can not get a refund.
Picking up Killzone 2 . The mega drive collection and surround sound this month is leaving me with little cash as it is- and as awesome as SF4 is - i'd feel mugged having to buy it again.
My girlfriend has offered to buy me it as a gift but i'd feel terrible letting her do so, and i feel she is only offering to do it because i spent ll day sulking and wouldnt talk cos i was in a bad mood.
Opinions? Help? suggestions? or just similar stories?
