Unbalanced CD?

[CaptTuna]

Is it possible to have a CD that in unbalanced? I am always on the lookout for games in the bargain bin of stores, older games to play on my P-II laptop. I recently found a game and whenever the disk spins in the drive it vibrates and buzzes. I have since stopped playing that game and no other disks have had this problem.

I've never had that problem with disks in my computer CD drive, but I did with some PS2 games awhile back. Turned out apparently the stupid rental sticker that they put on it was making the disk vibrate....made a horrible noise. I thought my PS2 was coming apart so I didn't play that one anymore. It could also be that the disk is slightly warped, like it would be if it was left in the sun in somebody's car or something.

I have a Duke Nukem 3D disk that has a quarter size chunk missing out of the edge....dog was gnawing on it! you want to talk about noisy Never tried it in my 52X drive though, figure it will probably come apart...just burnt a copy on the old 4x CDRW on my P3. Luckily the game must have been stored towards the inside of the CD, all I lost were some of the "extra" shareware games they loaded it up with!
