Actually the "dude" at the game store pulled both discs out of the box, evaluated them and proclaimed "this one has a big scratch man, I don't know if the machine will even get it out" So I thought surely that was the now defunct game disc. Now I wish I would have taken the time to make sure it was the right disc for it was not. So as soon as I can get a ride back to the store we will wash rinse and repeat (literally).
