Is backing up Video Game discs appropriate for Doom9?

Hello All,

Considering Xbox/Xbox360, PS2/PS3, WII etc... game discs are either just DVDs or Blu-Ray discs, does anyone know if we are permitted to ask questions/start threads/post information regarding the back-up of such discs? The reason I ask is, quite frankly, I dusted off Halo 2 this weekend after getting the urge to play. I recently moved and have not played the game in several months at this point. Sure enough, during the move, the disc was fairly badly scratched as I did not have the box for the game and simply placed it in the box for another game with that other disc in there as well. Well, sure enough, it looks like it's scratched beyond repair now.

So, similarly to a DVD, good luck going to the store where you purchased your game (or regular DVD/BD Disc) and ask for a new one as your original one has become scrated.

Any thoughts? Mods, please let me know if I'm out of line here, my apologies if I am.

Hi!

Although I'm not personally familiar with game software, if the game is on a standard DVD, you might try ISOPuzzle - or, bring it to your nearest DVD sales/rental store and ask them to polish your scratched disc...

It's off topic for Doom9. It even says so explicitly here:

This forum is not about PS2/Xbox backup.
