Sticker removal

[Stargazer2600]

I got a stack of games that i bought at this yard sale and on each of the games is a sticker on the inner ring and on the game itself. I dont want to pick at the sticker in fear of scratching the game  or tearing the sticker and it being worse. That said, does anyone have any sticker removal tricks i can try?

wait, do you mean game case or game disc?

 

If it is on a game case, what I usually do is get one of the corners and at a extremely slow pace pull it. Should it feel like it is about to leave adhesive, I let go of that corner and pull the other corner of the sticker. I been doing that since the PS3 era, it only failed 3 times out I say 50 games that had stickers.

A low-heat hair dryer makes the glue of the sticker melt and tgey come right off, it's the best thing for stickers but I'm not sure if it's advisable for a disc?

Hey stargazer, for those inner disc ring stickers I let the disc sit in a sink with hot water for about 10 minutes. I get these on ex Video rental games and it's a real pain, this method doesn't always work but the heat should be enough to loosen the glue and not effect the artwork.

 

Good luck

doesnt hot water ruin the game?

If it's like the sticker LoveFilm used to use on their games when they did Game Rentals, it's fine to just keep it there and not worry about it.  Personally I wouldn't use a hair dryer or hot water to get it off. The game should play fine so long as the disc isn't damaged in any other way.
