Disc Problems

One of the most annoying thing that can happen to me is buying an expensive CD or DVD, and not being able to use it anymore because it got scratched so badly! Well here's a helpful hint on how to remove scratches from most CDs or DVDs.

Ingredients Needed: Airtight Container, Diet Soda, Baking Soda, Toothpaste, Creamy Peanut Butter (chunky will scratch it even more!), and paper towels.

Step 1: Add toothpaste to your CD or DVD.

Step 2: Then apply peanut butter right on top of the toothpaste.

Step 3: After about 2 minutes, gently remove the toothpaste and peanut butter with a paper towel.

Step 4: Do steps 1 and 2 again by reapplying toothpaste, then reapplying the peanut butter.

Step 5: Put the disc inside of the container and pour the diet soda in it then mix some baking soda into the mix and seal the lid.

Step 6: After about 5 minutes, remove the disc and clean it with the paper towels.

Step 7: Pop the disc back into its player, and enjoy!

I hope you all enjoy this tip on how to clean your disc!

Blu-ray Discs Vs. HD DVD

First, there were video tapes. Then came DVDs. After that, HD-DVD came into the scene. For some time, HD-DVD has been king of all DVDs. But now, one of it's biggest rivals have come out: Blu-Ray Disc. S, the question here is: Which DVD will dominate sales? HD or Blu-Ray? People think that just because that Blu-Ray is newer and it has a cooler name means its better. NO! People need to stop having this mind of thinking! I have a friend who has a Blu-Ray player, and it looks just like HD, just a tiny bit better.

I have heard that Blu-Ray DVD players are soon going to dominate other DVD players, so you will be forced to buy a Blu-Ray disc player. If you are going to buy one, just buy a PS3! If you already have one, you are good to go! Plus, if you already have one, don't waste you money on one!

Still, even though Blu-Ray has come out, HD DVDs are selling one hundred times better than them. It even seems that Microsoft doesn't want Blu-Ray to sell. They came out with the HD DVD player for the Xbox360. Then, perhaps in an effort to blunt Blu-Ray's sales, they lowered the price to $179.Sony, however, it seems like they want Blu-Ray to sell more! Their PS3 comes Blu-Ray equipped, to influence you to buy Blu-Ray. At this point I am happy for Microsoft because if Blu-Ray dominates, I will be disappointed, because it is just like HD DVD. At this point, I am happy for what Microsoft is doing, even though I don't like them as much a Sony. For now though, we'll just have to wait and see who wins. HD or Blu-Ray.
