tiryaroofshadow | Problems with the ROTK EE DVD

This afternoon, I wanted to watch the appendices to ROTK, so I put disc 3 in my dvd-reader (on my computer). I start watching it, then suddenly the image stops, starts again, stops again. Then I try to watch it with my PS2, same thing there. I had already noticed there were some indentations at the side of the disc, but when I turned it around, there are scratches on the silver side of the disc. The 4th disc and those with the film on it do not seem to have any scratches on it.

Well tomorrow I will go to the store and try to exchange it for another one.
I hope they won't be too difficult that I'm only bringing the dvd back and not the whole giftbox-set.

But apparently there seems to be a widespread problem here with the SEE DVD as in scratches on the discs or box-sets containing only the appendices or the same disc twice or whatever. On one of the forums discussing the problem someone mentioned that the distribution company had apologized for the mistakes and said that they had been doing their best to have the dvds released on schedule. Well I think, people wouldn't have minded waiting a few extra days if it meant avoiding all the hassle of having to exchange the dvd's for new ones.
