Someone carves their name in the CD, completely wrecking the data layer of the disc, and the still works? I call bull.

The scratches are roughly in the middle of the disc, and the data tracks are track 2 near the beginning and track 34 at the very end (the second track presumably the usual duplicate, identical to the first and only used if the first is damaged), so it's possible that one of the two (even both) are undamaged, allowing the game data to load without issues.  The music, however, is surely gonna skip and/or stop altogether in several areas of the game.

In any case, what kind of f*cking retard does that to a cd?!?

One time some years back a guy sold me a CD wallet to afford a tow for his car.  I paid $20 for some junk disk only games mainly because I felt bad for the dude.  When I checked them out, all of them had his initials scratched into the disks.  I tried one, Halo 1, and it of course didn't work.  I didn't bother to try the rest.  I think I still have the CD wallet as I thought it was funny.  If I can find it I'll post a picture later.

^ That was Eddie.

[seieienbu]

Eddie must have been signing under a pen name then.  I'm also surprised that Eddie, a man known far and wide for his love of high end Turbo software, would own such common games as Halo, NFL Blitz, Jade Empire, and Blood Rayne 2 among other similar titles.  I truly would have expected more from Eddie's discerning tastes.

^ My bad! That must have been Neddie, Eddie's half-brother (Neddie was the sports fan).

I see what the sellers doing. He's (trying) to charge that collectors premium for NIB, never been used crap. But in reality his box is so badly damaged nobodies ever gonna pay his NIB premium
