scratched discs still work, but thats besides the point. this game cost $50 and its compleatly legal, its just not legal for my to make a copy then give it to a friend, which im not. but enough with this chit chat, please just stick with the question. i know its possible. so if u have any words of wisdom to shine on my issue i would be greatly happy, "...like a chinese man eating rice after a long day of work"
