I was in Family Video tonight with some friends and I was digging around their PVed DVD's, and Narc caught my eye, since I've been wanting it but just didn't feel like shelling out 20 bucks. So now, I'm thinking of getting it, but I'm just wondering if it's possible to remove the typical stickers and such they place not only on the case, but on the disc itself. I think Goo-Gone would work for the case, but what about the DVD? Thanks.

It's very much possible. if it isnt, take it back and request another copy. say that the sticker effects playing or something. it's some work, but I have managed to get stickers off before with little to no problem.
Usually PVDVD's have a life long warrenty. so if it screws up in the process take it back for another copy.

The place where I buy the occasional PVDVD doesn't use stickers for their rentals. They carry a very wide selection of titles and it's a good source for used cult movies. Since I normally will buy an obscure title, the disc is in great shape.
Maybe there is a similar place close to where you live. The place I go to is 15-20 mins on the freeway but darn well worth the trip.

Where did you buy your PVDVD? I usually buy mines at Hollywood Video instead of Blockbuster coz their discs don't have any stickers on them. They sometimes have specials like Buy 2 for $20 or Buy 3 for $33. As for stickers and what-not on the Amaray case....if you can't get them off just go to Target or Walmart and buy replacement cases. I get my Amaray II cases from Walmart for less than 4 bucks for a box of 5.

Al Padrino & all in thread
Too bad you didn't check our DVDeXchange there are several Gold Traders including me that have this disc to trade. Plus there might be one on the GTList. I also use a different forumla than Goo Gone and on new to me discs plus Liquid Ivory Snow to get the goo off from the manufacturing process. I have been saying this for years all 'over' the internet! I wonder when they came up with 'their' formula? LOL
P.S. Unlike Goo Gone I don't use any Petrolium Distillates, I just use different essential oils one of which is Citrus siesis in english this is known as Sweet Orange. Expensive oils can be used like Cistrus aurantium var (variety) amara AKA Neroli. I have extensive knowledge on using Aromatherapy Essential Oils or
Aromachology which is perfumery (women) and (cologne) men.

All Blockbusters should have stopped the practice of putting stickers on the discs themself, its not SOP anymore. Of course we throw out the original amarays and use our crappy rental amarays when we sell them.
