It depends. Disc resurfacing does have its limits so it is possible that doing it again would sand away too much. But if the disc doesn't work as is then you don't have anything to lose. Though if it does work I wouldn't risk it.

I'm also fairly curious as to what very valuable game this is since I can't think of many Xbox titles that qualify.

I wouldn't resurface it again, you don't know how much was taken off by the disc doctor. 2 or 3 runs through a professional resurface machine can take too much plastic off.

Me too. It's gotta be Marvel vs. Capcom 2, I can't think of anything else that remotely qualifies as "very valuable" ($70+ IMO) from that library.

Well, I don't really know but let me tell you that I had to give my copy of Oni 7 passes (yes, 7) with my Skip Dr. before the PS2 would read it again and it has been working great ever since. It comes in a CD instead of DVD, so I don't know if that could be a factor (layer thickness, etc).

Anyway, as Tony said, if it works now I wouldn't resurface it again.

It can be resurfaced. And it should still work. I've seen plenty of DVD type games and CD type games with DiscDR markings and more scratches on top of that, Professional resurfacing would take it out perfectly fine. And after such, it should run perfectly. I've never heard of a professional resurfacer making a disc not work or taking off too much, i'd say if that was the case then someone wasn't doing it right. If you run a disc a time or two, and there is one really deep scratch, It's not coming out. It should never take off enough plastic to cease the discs functionality, ever. Unless you are talking about Dreamcast games, they are an entirely different tale.

I've resurfaced horrible looking discs that were obvious Disc Dr. failures, it doesn't hurt to try.

At my work we have a professional disc buffer that doesn't resurface discs, but polishes them. I've removed many Disc Doctor markings and scratches with it. You can run a disc through these things hundreds of times with no damage. It's called a Venmill 3500, and if you can find one somewhere (probably at a used video game store or pawn shop, these things cost thousands of dollars) I would highly recommend it.

I think the funny part is, I have a disc dr. but I never use it. Professional resurfacing machine run by me works just fine.

[TonyTheTiger]

From my experience, I've never seen a Disc Dr. make an unplayable game playable again. I wouldn't ever use one again.

[DKTheArcadeRat]

Neither would I. And I feel bad for my Tekken Tag Tournament for having put it through such hell when it was the damn PS2 not reading it.

They were a junk product that probably wasn't tested by ANYONE, let alone the government, before being released. If they worked, they'd still be sold.
