Buyer Beware:  Some Discs Still Defective
595160
I must agree with the gentleman who indicated that Universal had not done a good job with the HD-DVD version of this movie.  I bought it, settled in with the grand kids and watched until chapter 17 when the movie came to a grinding halt (it stuttered, it jerked, it pixelated, it finally froze) just as the action was beginning.  We tried everything from cleaning the disc to cleaning the tray. We could skip chapter 17 and watch the rest fine but there went the story.  Eventually we flipped it over and watched the final chapters on the regular DVD side.  Frustrating I must say when so-called cutting edge technology turns out to be 'get it out there in the market and let the consumer deal with the glitches' technology.  A search of the web garnered that this was indeed an ongoing problem with this particular DVD and others from Universal (do your own homework - this is a review of Scorpion King).  With a nod to Amazon for a no-problem return policy we should have a new copy by the time you read this.  If defective I will edit this review to indicate the fact that it was two in a row (re-edit should be up by December 20, 2007 at the latest).  If not I will let it stand and you make up your own mind.  Either way our big adventure movie night was ruined and became a session in stress.  Never a good way to relax and enjoy the grand kids.

UPDATE:  The replacement sent by Amazon worked fine.  It even appears to be a better Hi-Def version of the movie.  The Grand Kids (yes they watched it again as only kids can do - sans me - reported that it played fine and the picture was much better)  So some defective ones still get out but Amazon as usual makes it right.

I have the second copy of Cream - Royal Albert Hall - 2005 from Amazon.  The company replaced the first one when Disc 2 wouldn't play at all.  Unfortunately, the second one arrived just after I left the house for a month, and when I returned and tried viewing it, both discs had the same problem as Disc 2 in the first shipment.  Also, unfortunately, Amazon won't take anything back after 30 days, so I got a bum deal with both orders.  Amazon was good about the first replacement, but not being able to even contact anyone about the problem with the second has me bummed out.  After years of buying from Amazon, I will be shopping at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club from now on: they have real people who will really honor their warranties.  Hasta la vista, Amazon.

The discs I received in this package are full of fingerprint smugges and some kind of grimy dust.  One disc has a scratch near the center hole.  Please CHECK the conditions of your discs.  I had a similar problem with another MGM title "Green Acres Season 1" and had to go through 3 sets before I found one that was somewhat acceptable.  Some players, like mine, are very sensitive to these anomolies.  Someone at MGM Home Entertainment is not watching their quality control very carefully.

Guys be careful with these sets. Obviously the show is awesome, but the dvds not so much.  Its been my experience that the first four seasons display beautifully. Do a run through of all the discs if you can. The manufacturer counts on you not doing this I assume and if you are like me by the time you realize that that the majority of the remaing discs are completely defective and unwatchable, the seller will no longer honor your purchase. Do your homework!!! Don't take anything for granted!

The DVD was defective so I am not getting another copy as quality could be an issue on how they are making the discs from this particular company.

With the first set of DVDs I received, Disc 2 wouldn't play so Amazon sent me a replacement set.  Neither Disc 1 or Disc 2 would play with the 2nd set.  I've returned them and requested a refund.  I'll buy a set directly from Exercise TV.

I ordered this set on black friday through Amazon, and the one they sent me (brand new) 2 out of 4 disks did not work. They sent me a new one that I just opened, only to find that the same 2 disks are not working! Just a faulty batch? I don't know what to do now, since I'm sure Amazon will not want to send me a third replacement. I'm just going to send everything back to them and get a refund...

There is something wrong with this disc, and the one I sent back for which this is a replacement.
Same thing again: skipping and freezing in various spots, the exact same spots in fact. A small pit in the disc surface about 7/16" from the outer
edge can be seen in both the discs I had. There was a problem in the manufacturing (duplicating) process, and perhaps Amazon
has a vast batch of these bad clones. Customers beware. No, it's not my player. I have three Blueray players from different manufacturers, and I have tried all of them. I don't know what I will do yet...

The first disc had several skips/sticks(?) to it.  Once we were beyond them the other discs were fine.

Purchased 2 100 packs and both are defective.  Most of these either FAIL WRITING, WONT PLAY or LOCK UP during playback.  Sometimes it takes 3 tries to get a usable disc.  I have tried 3 different computers/burners with the same results.  Memorex/TDK/Sony work fine on the same equiptment without these problems.  Don't be fooled by all the positive reviews !!!

Faulty disk.  2 of the 4 movies unplayable (side 2).
I took a chance and reordered the same DVD as i really wanted phfft....the second time all the disks work, but the picture quality is marginal, especially side 2.

We love GI, but bought season 3 and there appear to be defects in the disc. 3 episodes skip to white back and forth rendering them unwatchable. These are not fingerprints on the disc. We watched an episode or two per weekend and this didn't occur until we were outside of our 30 day return window. Beware!!

First of all let me say that the series is awsome and I would recommend it to anyone who likes this type of suspense thriller. But out side of the show itself most of the discs (approximately 15 discs) were in some way dammaged: part of seasons two three and five and incredibly ever disc in season four.  The distributor, Warehouse Deals 4 Less clearly has no quality control checks in place!

You might wonder why I have not asked for my money back: Well,  I am so disgusted with the quality that I would not trust any replacement provided by the same distributor, Warehouse Deals 4 Less.  Plain and simple:  I learned a lesson and am not willing to review all of the discs again for quality.

Some of the disks "stall" if you will and some episode won't play at all. Not a lot of them, but none of them should. Whomever created these discs and sold them should have to go good for them! Don't buy this collection!

Be careful!  Some of the discs (3-4) did not work!  It took us this long to actually try to play them all, and we can no longer return them.  If you buy this item, have a Brady Bunch marathon immediately to make sure all of the discs play.

On day 3 of listening I find out that there is no disc 7 and 8 in package. Call the 'customer service number'for the manufacturer recordedbooks.com. They say that they don't replace defective material, I have to go back to the bookseller. Well, stupid me, I haven't saved the receipt. So, I am out $50.

What really irks me is the 'customer service' attitude. They don't want the serial number of box the product came in. They are not worried that there may be a whole 'lot' of defective product out there. They don't keep track of whether there are other similar complaints. They won't call the bookseller to assist you. They express no concern other than 'we can't help you when our product is defective.'

If you buy from this company please open the box in the bookseller and check for every disk, then save your receipt in case there is another problem. If you buy from Amazon, be prepared that you may have to take an hour off from work to box up the defective product and ship it back to Amazon. Or, buy from a company that actually is prepared to deal with a manufacturing issue. Glad I didn't spring for the whole set.
