Obviously, they're waiting for DOUG. Not LPs. :rolling-smiley:

Thanks for the correction. WHat's most interesting to me about those numbers is the growth of CDs. Anyway, to me, it's still about the dollars. Declining or not, physical video sales are still generating big revenue, and to use Target as an example, I doubt they're going to be making serious...

I'd definitely try cleaning the disc. If that doesn't work, Criterion will happily replace it for you.

I just popped my copy in to check. Menus loaded normally and the film started normally. I skipped around a few chapters with no issues. Player is a Panasonic UB9000.
