Matrix Box Set - Discs are Dead

All the seasons of the TV series Entourage. Disc rot to the max

Yep, the individual seasons manufactured before 2010.

Most of the seasons of The West Wing are dead, especially season 6 and 7

Confirmed. Saw your post and checked my disc and it was also dead. Seems like most of the affected discs are from August 2006-May 2008 but this being a 2010 release makes me nervous the affected discs are in a much wider range

Oh man! Now I need to check my disc. I have a feeling a lot more New Line Cinema discs will be added to the list as they pressed their discs at the same plant as Warner

Actually they do, Warner Bros. customer service is back up and running assisting people with replacement discs after the pandemic. See above you tube link how how to do so

I had 2 discs die that were pressed at the Cinram plant in Toronto (SID code IFPI 60**). They were The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning and Gate II: Return to the Nightmare. They were Alliance Atlantis releases, the Canadian subsidiary of New Line Cinema and thus uses the same pressing...

About once a week I head to a few thrift store on my lunch break and these classic Warner Brothers box sets show up quite often (no doubt due to older relatives dying and people donating their collection of older films). Well, I usually don't even check the sets due to the rot issues (and feel...
