£1500 Disc Cleaner vs Badly Scratched Disc

[@slashingbison2503]

Cool never seen this in action actually.

[@SorryImSam]

I REALLY enjoyed this video! You have such a great channel, great voice and editing. Your passion really shines through and it's a world I have never looked into yet you broke it down in a way that made it so interesting! Just don't lean to hard into the tiktok voice where you say something, then go higher in your voice, then finish. Then carry on, and then go again, but then you say something new. It's 40% tiktok makeup tutorial and if you can let yourself shine through just that bit more without the cadence of other youtubers/ make up tutorials I think this channel will be killer lol Thank you, I look forward to seeing your future content!

What is an "unlimited chip"? What "chip"? And in what way can a chip be "limited"?

[@Forage-uk]

The machine uses a chip with a timer built into it when the timer runs out you can no longer use the machine unless you buy another chip, that is why I have got an unlimited chip which you can get on eBay

[@MrKeenun]

@@Forage-uk Can you please help us understand why a machine is shipped with a chip that makes it limited?

[@lurekayaklrf]

@@Forage-uk this makes no sense, when a product is yours it’s yours. That sounds like you’re renting it.

[@lurekayaklrf]

I looked it up myself, as this dude wasn’t helpful. The chip comes with a pack of the consumables and is basically to alert you to buy a new pack of cleaners which then comes with a new 500 minute chip.

[@eadweard.]

@@lurekayaklrf Yes that is the conclusion I came to too. As I understand it, the consumables wear out and you're not supposed to use them beyond that point. So the chip forces you to buy more consumables. I assume their argument would be that using the consumables for too long will damage the discs. Whether it's actually some cynical ploy to force you to buy things you don't strictly need is another matter.

[@retrobootdisc]

So does that machine have a sanding disc and a polishing disc? Also what is the chip all about ?

[@Forage-uk]

It doesn't have any sanding disc. It's just got a polishing disc. Also, the chip is on how long you can use the machine for. That is why I got an unlimited chip

[@retrobootdisc]

@@lurekayaklrf how come there's no sanding? How does it remove deeper scratches?

[@kemahlemin9884]

Would u recommend for ps4 xb1 got a stack that need surface

[@Forage-uk]

it does work great with Xbox One and PS4 but to save money you can take it to CeX and they should be able to do it for free for you, at least the one I go to does they give me 10 for free every day but it could be different at different places

[@Mr.A.Tatlock]

It would be cheaper to buy a new disc

[@Bingshuina-yp7nm]

It's more useful for ""as a service" situation, i can imagine it being very useful in video game stores in the late 90's / early 2000's. Kids would leave the cds out of cases and itd scratch up to hell over time. Having the ability to potentially restore customers discs for a fee would be good business i think.

[@eadweard.]

I think the idea is that you do more than one.

[@OpvectorUK]

If you are a collector, buying, reselling, trading, then this item pays for itself.

[@Security848]

@@Bingshuina-yp7nm yes was worth having years ago not so much now.

[@connectlogic]

It's not the bottom you should be worried about all data is on the top never put discs down upside down.. M

[@josephjones1093]

Yah dude would be rather dishonest to sell what could be classed as a refurb, as like new.
