While at Best Buy yesterday, I was shocked to see on the shelf 2 copies of DS DVD set #12! Two weeks before it's actual release!! I couldn't resist at $43.99 and picked it up. For the first time since I have been buying these DVD's, I have a problem with one of the discs. Disc #2 in the set will not play at all. I have tried it in 3 different players. It's so bad, that it won't even boot up to the menu. It just grinds in the players.
So my question is, what does one do with a bad disc? I suppose I could take it back to Best Buy and maybe they would trust me to replace the whole thing. But they only had one left and that may also be bad.
Does MPI have a good track record for replacing bad discs? If I call them woud they send me out a replacement?
On a side note, there is some more ediiting being done here on some episodes. At least 3 snips I have noticed so far. Nothing major, but it's very frustrating in my opinion. In episode 695, there is a scene with Barnabas reading about Quentn's life in the family history book. Maggie is beside him talking with him. In the orginal Worldvision tape that was syndicated in the 80's, the tape starts jumping between their scene, but you can still hear some dialog. The MPI DVD has completely removed the scene between Barnabas and Maggie. I understand why they do this. They want a seemless looking show with no tape breaks. However, my humble opinion is that we should be able to see the show in the way it is original presented. Tape breaks and all. I guess I will be keeping my 1980's syndicated tapes that have all of these gaffs intact!
