This brings up a good point, a friend of mine was telling me he was having a hell of a time getting good discs of Gunsmoke season 2 vol. 1. They were all scratched, stepped on, wouldnt play, stuff like that...and they were new discs to boot. Anyway, i told him i stopped buying DVD-18s because of the problems with them, and i also dont like buggard up brand new discs. So, when it ceases to be fun, when it becomes stressful, just to get good product for your hard earned cash, its time to let it go, and dont buy their cheap s**t. I have other things to spend my money on. We dont HAVE to buy it if its crap.
