Defective from the get-go! (1 Viewer)

This happened twice today! Bought Simpsons:Season 2 and Disc Two has a big scratch from the center hub outward. (No, it wasn't floating free) and STII:The Wrath of {b]Khan[/b] Disc 1 had a broken tab and was floating free.
:frowning: [sigh] It just isn't my day. Has anyone else experienced this lately?

Man, that totally sucks. I've had to shy away from mail order due to the high percentage of broken discs from the shipping. Now I get only my Criterions from mail order. In a retail store you can at least give the case a shake to listen for floaters.
(BTW: DVD Trio Playright can fix most scratches, and Inet DVD is a good source for replacement cases)

Nathan,
I picked up Star Trek II last night. My disc 1 was floating free in the case :frowning:. There was a small scratch on the data side of the disc near the hub. However I played the movie last night and noticed no breakup. Close call!

Shake the DVD cases before you buy them. This is what I do, and I never get floaters now. Buying online, of course, is a different story.
