Hit the return button and after a few quick questions, they'll email you a return label for your current shipping box and the new set is sent immediately. You can keep watching your current set while the other is on the way. They usually give you 30 days to get the original one back to them and they give you the choice of home pickup, drop box, or shipper location dropoff. Besides, when the other set gets there, you can go through it and swap out your bad discs with good ones before shipping a set back to them. You'll also have plenty of time to watch the nine discs before you need to have the set back. That way, you can confirm there are no other flaws.

Yes, I've gone though this before. ;)

nice gear..sold my Krell 250 player and replaced it with a Krell showcase with hdmi for cd 's via xlrs and through optical out to the new Rega DAC... on my setup, the optimum setting on the Kuro was very bad when it came to the faces of the live characters..none were good but the opto i felt was the worst...as i said the rest looked damn good...and as good as i felt the audio is..it is not demo material with numerous better sounding Bd's out there..hopefully it gets better in II and III and i already anticipate a fall off in the OT due to age and technology

You're definitely not the first. Two of mine have this problem. I gently touched the chipped paint and more flaked off. Will be exchanging mine at Best Buy in the morning, very disappointing!!!

Just finished watching Menace and Clones. The video on Menace was better than I was expecting, though nowhere near perfect. Audio on both was simply outstanding. I just overhauled my system and made the jump to 7.2. It was like I was in the theater! :D Here's how I'd rate Ep.1 and 2:

TPM : video - 8/10 , audio - 11/10 :D

AOTC: video - 8.75/10, audio - 11/10 :D

I did throw in ROTS for a few minutes to check out the audio, and wow, what a disappointment. It's exactly how I remembered it being in the theaters - lifeless and underwhelming, especially coming off a double-feature of Menace and Clones. I'll have to watch Sith in it's entirety, but from what I've heard so far, the audio on Episode III is an 8/10 at best, and that's a generous "8". I have to disagree with Casey and Bill Hunt's score on that one.

There's a reason why Sith is the only SW film NOT to be nominated for an Oscar in the sound dept..

And the problem with that, as I said pages back, is that the "cameo" at the end of Jedi will make zero sense... but Lucas has so little hindsight to think of something like that. Watch them in order and you kill the surprise; watch them in release order and you see characters you have no idea who they are.

Oh well, it's not Citizen Kane, its only Star Wars.

How so? What difference does it make who you see? It still makes perfect sense.

Does it seem like the packaging is to blame, or is it manufacturing defects ?

You could nitpick these films completely apart just based on all the manipulation involved...but that's what it takes to get the beauty of these worlds and designs.

It kind of nice to see the seams actually.

Watched all of the OT deleted scenes. It's a pity that no effort was made to make them flow, or edit them, add music or anything. They just dumped the raw footage on the discs. At least it's in HD, though. Another complaint: A bunch of stuff seems left out. Luke's Bacta mask, the complete Wampa stuff (Han's conversation with the rebels regarding the dead tauntaun, which I think was in the storybook), I imagine a lot of other stuff, recall seeing some youtube videos with stills and whatnot of tons of deleted stuff from the trilogy. Oh, well...maybe a future release will see more stuff.

I doubt he payed for the art. You can find lots of custom cover art all over the net and on this very forum. Just use some high quality, glossy paper for a nice finish.

The 6 disc case will knock you back about $5 http://www.pcx.com.au/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductId=1456

It seems to play, though. What I will probably do is put a piece of tape over where it's chipping and hope it'll work OK. Returning this to amazon sounds like a big headache.

I suggest everybody check their discs, I am not the first person to have this problem.

What players are you experiencing this on? It sounds like the alternate angle icon and maybe certain players are triggering a false positive.
