Removing a Blockbuster sticker from an OG Xbox game!

- While this wasn't quite the full disc sticker I was hoping for, it's still a good example of removing these center ring stickers!!
They also rarely come off in one piece! Ok so this process is the same as the RedBox sticker for Xbox 360 games, except for one small difference. The Blockbuster stickers are technically security stickers so they'll intentionally leave residue and sticker. You'll see what I mean in the video!
These stickers are easy to remove once you tackle a few, and well worth the effort! Just take your time, move slowly, and you'll have that center ring free in no time!

Personally, I waaay prefer something like a plastic spudger instead of that metal peeler. Amazon has a great little 20 piece kit called "Kaisi Professional Electronics Opening Pry Tool Repair Kit." It's generic Chinese crap, but it's cheap, useful and gentle. I don't trust myself with metal against plastic. Just curious, why heptane? Trial and error? Can't find any info on how gentle it is for optical discs. Used alcohol to get rid of some sticky residue from a library sticker I removed and it took some of the ink off the top of the disc....
Hey man I love your videos and you've inspired me to take better care of the games I own.
I'm glad I could help! I get a kick out of showing people how easy some of these things can be, so that we can keep our games looking fresh and clean for years!
I knew which kind of sticker you were hoping for. I too was hoping for one of those. I once tried to remove one from a copy of Klonoa. It did not go well
Yuuuuuuup. Oh those full disc stickers......A full disc sticker removal is possible! But it can quickly turn ugly. We're still tackling with a safe method to remove them without damaging the disc. But we're making progress! Just did a Little Mermaid 2 recently! A link to the image is below!

@@RestoreAndReplay Oh man, that looks excellent! Can't wait to see a video on the process, that'd be sick
I recently acquired a PS1 disc with the full Hollywood Video Label and it's 10x worse than the full disc blockbuster disc sticker I successfully removed on another game a few weeks ago. Any advice on the strong adhesive Hollywood sticker would be great.
I have a few Hollywood video label games (like why did they have to cover the entire dang disc), I'll make a video, but start off with low heat to soften the label, and work around the outside edge to find where you can peel up a little bit of the sticker. They never ever got them on perfectly straight, so there is always one little edge sticking out.
Great video. 👍 like the content. Love the stories even more. Bench grinder omg why not just get a Bench lathe and a face plate. Lol......seriously
I mean I get it! I've known tons and tons of stores to use them. But it takes a fair bit of skill and I don't think I'd have stable enough hands to do it!
