Wolfhour	post #1  on August 31, 2005 - 9:21 PM PDT   Hello all, Over the last few weeks i've had to return several purchased (new - factory fresh) Anime discs that were defective out of the box. The unplayable titles included: Fafner vol.1 (2 discs in a row), Scrapped Princess vol.3, Wandaba Style vol.3, and others i'm too tired to type in. I'm not counting discs that skip & stop - i've had many more of those. All discs were tested on several DVD-players, and even on PC DVD-ROM drives to verify that the defect was in the disc not my playback setup. My question is: are any of you folks experiencing a similar spike in defective ROM media? Thanks, Wolf.

Judging from the response (or lack thereof), I guess we're just unlucky.

It played, but several audio tracks were missing! I sent the disk back and it seemed like it took forever to get a revised disk back from ADV. Animeondvd.com has an excellent list of defective disks.
