I really hate this! When I first started collecting DVDs, only a few of them were defective, but now it seems like more and more are.
I have heard from tons of people here at the HT Forum, about their discs going bad, and not being able to return them because they've had them longer than the time the store allows.
So far:
Dracula 2000 (went bad, had to buy a new version)
Queer As Folk (Season 1) {discs 3 & 5 went bad) have not exchanged or bought again....I've had it longer than the time the store allows.
Oz - Second Season (disc 4 was bad, exchanged and now all of them are good).
Six Feet Under (Disc 1 was bad, exchanged and now disc 4 is bad)
I still have around 80 DVDs that have never been viewed, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if some of them were also defective! How come this is happening? These are new DVDs (Oz & Six Feet Under) and yet, more and more people are complaining about their disc going bad. What's going to happen to our DVD collections over time?
I've heard from a lot of people that their discs played fine 5 or 6 times, and then could never be played again! This is ridiculous! I think that studios need to do something about this!
I try my best to keep buying all of the new releases that I never got a chance to see in theaters, and wanted too, plus the ones that I did watch in theaters. Not to mention all of the "Special Edition" re-releases that are coming out almost every day! And now, I have to worry about also replacing the DVDs that are dying on me!!!
Who else is more than a little upset by this?
BTW, I also have the first printing of Heathers (Limited Edition) which went bad on a lot of people, but I haven't had the time to re-watch it with all of the new DVDs I keep buying.
