Well i had similar issue, bought a copy of Ace Combat 6 for 4 quid and disc was fooked, cleaned and cleaned it but no joy. Gutted as i really wanted to play it too. At least i got my money back and 4 quid off Red faction Armageddon.

In a row or over a longer period. In a row, there's probably something silly like 80 hours on the Guinness website, but the stat will be there. Think you then email them to tell them you are attempting it.
If in doubt, put the kettle on.

And someone from Guinness (no, not the Irish stout) would need to be there to verify it.

The frag dolls set a record that still stands for the longest multiplayer session i believe... it was only 24 hours or something.

We should get the magazine to organise it for the readers to beat it.

Already ahead of you on this, i PM'd Dan yesterday and suggested doing a feature on it and letting some of us beat the record, He's looking into it for me now.

So who's game?... I figured we could pick one FPS we all like and play the death outta it for awhile.

If you swapped games you'd have to play for 100 hours plus, if you just played a FPS it would have to be more than 45 hours. Good luck. :P
