How To Get Any Video Game Replaced For Free

[Billy]

BEFORE DOING THIS, BE CAUTIONED, YOU CAN GET IN A LOT OF TROUBLE FOR DOING THIS AND I AM SIMPLY HAVING THIS ARTICLE HERE TO INFORM THE COMMUNITY. I DO NOT CONDONE THIS TYPE OF ACTIVITY AND IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO THIS, DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Now, all this tutorial will do is teach you how to use Movie Gallery's insurance on games to your advantage. Usually the cost of a rental is around $5 and insurance is under $1.

For this tutorial I will use the video game Fallout as an example.

Say you have a broken Fallout game, it is cracked or scratched beyond repair, well, go to your local Movie Gallery and rent a copy of Fallout, make sure it is the same type as yours (if you have a GOTY version, get a GOTY version) and make sure to take out the cheap insurance policy.

Go to your house and keep the game for one to two days. There will usually be a sticker on the disk so you may need to take it off and put it on the other disk. I suggest a razor blade and then to reapply it either use the existing stickiness or get fast drying super glue.

After putting the sticker on put the disk in the case and return it telling them you broke it by accidentally stepping on it. If you are under 18 then have mom or dad do it for you and make sure to use the same excuse with them.

Now you have a new disk that works.

Cheers.

That, or you can just use Blockbuster rentals...like me. I've been getting away with this for 3 years now. All of that aside, it's an alright Tut.

You are getting a game for the price of a rental. Still good deal.

No. Say you bought a game, and it no longer works due to scratches. You go rent the same game from Blockbuster, and just exchange yours for theirs, then just return it in 1-3 days, this way it won't look to suspicious.

I think he means that if you previously downloaded your games to your hdd, then you can still play with the scratched disc

Simply state that when you opened the case the disc wasn't attached to it, and it was all scratched up from being shaken while in the case. Do you remember what happened to the Halo 3 Collectors Edition looked like?!
