    I'm not entirely sure about that model. If it's newer than 2010 I doubt there's any significant problems internally and it's probably the disk. I was referring to the older PS2 systems.

    I'm pretty sure that's its Scratched disk problem I've had it happened once before on and copy of the game I found in a game stop dumpster.
    There was some scratches on it, and a better way to fix the scratches If you have some Car Wax, the type I use and had best results with is Carnauba Wax in a liquid form.

    Now what you want to do is apply a few drops of it to the Disk and use a microfiber cloth and rub in a circular motion all around the disk and make sure to focus on the areas that look rough.
    And then let it dry few a good 30 seconds and then buff it off with a clean microfiber clothe and that should do something.

    That's bizarre. I've never heard of that happening before.

    If all else fails, and you've got a PS3 or a Vita... Man, I'd suggest picking up X-HD when it drops next month.

    Unfortunately, no. I have heard there is a chance of it dropping on Xbox 360. I dunno how true that will be with the eclipsing by Xbone. If it does, or if I pick up a PS3(not that unlikely) I will be sure to pick it up.

    I picked up some brasso and gave the disc a good polish. Unfortunately, it didn't have any effect. It seems the game plays perfectly up until that sector change. There are a couple small but deep(well, deeper than the superficial scratches) on the outer edge. To fix these I'll either a Disc Doctor or some sanding paper. I am not too keen on either sanding a whole disc for two scratches or spending ~$30 bucks.
