Dr.Fix It CD/DVD REpairer

Dont know if this is the right area, but here goes.
Has anyone ever bought one of these www.drfixit.net as i have purchased one and wondered if they are any good or not, also the email link on the site doesnt work and was now begining to think the site is a bit iffy.

I think these things are generally quite dubious tbh, the picture on the the bit about games consoles freezing at the slightest scratch is exactly the same picture just pixelated..Hollywood Sales Ltd is an Rep Ireland Reg company as well.

We used to sell them where i work (video rental store) and also have one for store use. in my experience it always worked really well and fixed most problems, being a rental store it saw a lot of action, and justified itself. but seeing those retail prices it is an awful lot of money if it's not going to see a lot of use. if repairing a disc, the best form of practice with it is to use the repair heads AND then use the cleaning heads on the disc afterwards to clear of the muck from the repair. We used to go through quite a lot of cleaning solution which at those prices (although they probably got it cheaper would still be expensive) might explain why head office stop sending us it. haha. Is a serious pain though because as i said it did seem to work pretty well on dirty discs or discs with minor scratches.

Bottom line: I've have good results with it but for home use, probably not worth the money.
