I bought the 1-3 Season pack online at Circuit City last week. The third and fourth episodes are unplayable (pixilated) on disc 2. I took it to my local Circuit City got a replacement and disc 2 is bad in exactly the same way in this box as well.

Is this a known problem with these? Or just my incredibly bad luck?  I tried the disc in 3 different players as well as my laptop. Same poor result with each.

Since they came from two different locations I wondered if this was a widespread problem.

Thanks

I'd get a third copy and try it.

I remember buying The Pianist, and exchanging it twice because the first two discs had a deep scratch in the same exact place which caused the disc to lock up in every DVD player that I owned. The third time was the charm thankfully.

I had that same problem with Force 10 from Navarone.  I went through several copies before finding one that didn't get stuck in the middle of the movie. There must have been a bad batch, I guess.

Had the same problem with the History of Rock N' Roll.  Took 4 tries before I found a non damaged one...very poor packaging!

That's the plan, I'm hoping the third time is the charm.

That's one of the bizarre parts of this (at least to me.) There is no physical damage to the discs, no visible pinholes when held up to the light. And the packaging isn't damaged, in both instances the discs were firmly on the hub inside the Thin-Pak.

I just wonder how big a batch?  The first set came Fed-Ex from Florida, the second set I picked up in New Mexico.  That's a lot of territory.
