Sticky Residue on a PS3 Game Disc?

Sticky Residue on a PS3 Game Disc - discI just bought a PS3 game and around the circle in the middle it's sticky. Is this normal and OK? If not, how do I get it off so it doesn't ruin my system?

Be very careful as one wrong move can ruin the disk (been there).

Take a microfiber clothe and very gently (trying NOT to touch the backside of the disk), wipe where you feel the sticky. Hopefully that will work.

If not, see if you can take it to a place that sells games (like we have Game Stop) and have them see what else can be done.

I totally ruined a work disk years ago by putting a liquid cleaner on it. It was a very bad situation.

If this game is brand new and you just purchased it from a store take it back before attempting to clean it or remove the sticky residue from the disk. Many people think the information is stored on the back of the disk. This is not exactally true. The front label on the disk has the coating on the underside of the label. When the information is written to the disk it is stored on this coating and not on the plastic of the disk.

Therefore, if you try to clean the top of the disk this could remove part of the label from the disk and destroy the disk. One thing is good the information is written from the outside of the disk towards the inside. You can see where the disk is written on and in this area you can not touch the label at all.

You can take it off with goo gone.
