Over at the teamxbox forums, I've read that a few people have got their discs working by dipping them into boiling water for a few secs (not kidding!). Logically this just melts the plastic just enough so that the scratches get filled in.

Don't know if you're willing enough to try this out, but it's a possible solution (and free too).

I long time ago I read a pc gamer review of one of those cd repair things and they said it was great.

I find a white rubber eraser works great. Then use a soft cloth and polish.
