Best way to destroy a PS2 disc?
Ethically yes its wrong but I have my reasons.
I need to destroy a game disc so that it won't work and theres no visible signs of damage. standard ps2 dvd disc.
Any ideas remember I don't want to scratch it.
I figure use a powerful magnet to disrupt the data tracks, but it'll be saturday before I can get near one. Sunlight?

Guys ... a DVD is optical data, meaning a magnet will have absolutely no effect on it.
Also, do not microwave it. Believe me, it will look very very damaged.

I think CD-RWs can be affected by strong magnetic fields, but not CD-Rs or factory discs pressed from glass masters. For a factory CD, your best bet is heat. Try setting a hairdryer or iron to its highest heat setting and place it on or near to the picture side of the DVD. If using an iron you might want to put a thin sheet of fabric between the DVD and the iron, as there may be unpredictable results involving the picture ink on the disc. The data is stored closer to the picture side than the play side, so you'll get results quicker that way (if at all). I don't know if it's really possible to execute a stealth kill on a DVD though.
FYI: DVD is a reflective layer between two pieces of polycarbonate (0.6mm on either side) unlike a CD, which has the reflective layer on top.
I would go for minor damage to the very inside of the disc - in theory, if the TOC is unreadable the disc is unreadable. Acetone (nail polish remover/paint stripper) eats polycarbonate, so that may be worth a try.

lol yeah if you put it on full effect for 30seconds it will.. 2seconds is enough to completely bust the DVD without any signs of wear..Nullsleep wrote: Also, do not microwave it. Believe me, it will look very very damaged.

Somehow, I feel like following this thread could prove useful in the future.
I have to say, though, that I'd be afraid of warming actual food in whichever microwave oven was used for this little experiment. I don't know anything about how they work, but I feel like it would reflect the microwaves back into their... erm... "emitters" and cause the whole thing to break. Like afterwards, it'd be like that scene in Superman and when you turn the oven on to make some popcorn, the bag of popcorn is fine and YOU pop instead!
Couldn't you put it into some boiling water for a second, or something? I still say that the chemical route would be best, but then again, I say that ruining someone's disc (unless it's one of a kind) wouldn't necessarily be the best revenge or save their social life. I also hope that you're not doing this to your own split personality. "Good heavens, this is a DVD-R coaster with printed disc art! Who could have done such a thing?" "Ah, sir, the prints... are yours." "... What?!"

I decided to try google, and found this:
does the game happen to be Iranian?Under the codename 'Curveball,' feed the Bush Administration faulty intelligence stating you've received 'slam dunk' evidence that the Producers Guild--which obviously hates freedom--is turning Fahrenheit 9/11 into a James-Bond type franchise. Do they want the smoking gun to be a blockbuster? They'll pretend to believe you, sparking a $300 billion dollar initiative to save your DVD at the cost of tens of thousands of lives, but due to a naive ideological refusal to actually plan the initiative in any meaningful sense, they'll utterly destroy your entire collection of DVDs.

Like Bondo? That shit will fuck you up. Me and my buddies are fixing up an old Mortal Kombat II cab that didn't work and turning it into a MAME cab. We had to fill in the pockmarks and dent's with Car Bondo in my friend's basement. It was raining outside so we couldn't do it outoors. The stench wouldn't leave for days.landshark wrote:How about some rubbing compound for a car scratch? It's ever so slightly abrasive. I'm not sure how much of the shine it will take off versus destroy.
Well, how about just some nail polish remover or something? Wouldn't that work? It wouldn't smell forever.

Yes, I too tried that toothpaste method without really thinking about it first. It looked like I sanded the disc with some drywall or something; I would strongly urge others not to try it on anything that they cared about.

(Wow, going off-topic to the opposite topic of the original topic.)
