It just happened to me with Lock Up and I ordered that from Amazon as it's not easy to find in stores any more.
But I've also hated it with box sets like Star Trek: Enterprise and Miami Vice - where I refuse to return a whole box set, just demand they break open a new set and give me an undamaged replacement disk.
But the effort really bugs me - especially when they can record the darn DVDs for pennies and usually charge around $14 for each movie. Grrrrr.
I'd expect some quality! You didn't have these problems in the good old days of VCR tapes.
Tycho, this is your DVD player's way of telling you to get off your ass and do something besides watch movies all day. Go read a book or try crossing the interstate blindfolded or something.
