    Like the title says, I really want to play some Tiger Woods 05 right now, but the disc is pretty much fubared and I really do not want to go buy a new copy. Any suggestions to remedy the situation???

    This is probably a legal grey area, but as you already own the game, couldnt you 'acquire' it from the internet...

    Otherwise you could try using a SkipDr or something similar to try to repair the disk, unless it is far too scratched to be used.

    Try some non-abrasive toothpaste rubbed in with a tissue. That can help against scratches, although it does depend on how deep they are.

    I am incapable of playing downloaded games on my PS2 (should have mentioned that this is on the PS2). I was looking at a DrDisc and a SkipDR, but I would like to know if there's any free ways to do this (ie some crazy home remedy) type of thing someone might have done.


    Thanks for the help though :)
