So I recently bought a used game from a well known chain that specializes in this (it was a Game, if they have those where you live). When I got home some time later and tried it, the disc couldn't be read. Taking a look at the underside, the reason why became clear- the disc is faulty. Really obviously faulty, which is somewhat baffling because this place claims to check all second hand games for damage.

To get to the punchline, I appear to have lost the receipt. My two questions are:

1) Do you think there's a chance of getting a refund if I make a big enough fuss over this? The manual still has the shop's bar-code on it, so I figure it should come up as one of theirs if they scan it.

2) Failing that, is there a method for fixing faulty discs that works (besides warm water and dish soap, which I already tried)? The disc isn't actually scratched, rather there's this weird shimmering speckled pattern all over it, even on the rim.

If you don't have the receipt they'll just refuse since you can't prove you purchased it from them. And as for the damage to the disc, I can't give any advice without a more in depth description, or preferably a picture, but the safest bet it that it's unrecoverable.
