Damnit.  Disc 6 was free-floating in its package.  I thought it was okay, but episode 37 won't play properly...  Now I'm sad...

Oh, the Dragon Ball Z Dragon Box Volume 1 that I just reviewed.  Heh, guess I should have reviewed that disc a little more closely... ^_~

RRRRRIIIIGHT STUFF!!!!

Give it a good clean obviously; and if that won't do the trick, send it back, get a refund, and price-match Target at bestbuy? I don't know how rightstuff works though.

Apparently they don't work very well... They'll replace it for me, but they expect me to cough up for the shipping.  Yeah, that's fair.  I have to pay more because they sent me a defective product.  It's safe to say I won't be shopping with them again.  And that's my brief-doesn't-even-require-a-video review of Right Stuf.

Well they're good in that you do get shit early. And their sales make said shit dirt cheap.

Yeah, the box is constructed like a poorly wrapped gift. Expect it to start falling apart:

Every Post Title should be something like this.  I love how every Japanese DBZ title gives away what's going to happen.

That is interesting about the box glue coming undone like that.  I thought about mentioning it in my review, as I'd heard a couple of stories on the DaizEX forums about that... but it hasn't happened to mine.  Not in the least, and I live in a very humid apartment.  The box itself and all the other packaging are in perfect condition.  My only concern, like I said, is the announcement stuck on the back.  Oh, yeah, and the fact that Disc 6 is scratched!  Heh, I'd rather have a slightly peeling box than a disc that doesn't work properly.

So, yeah, before I spend another ten bucks or so to send this thing back, anyone know if any of those "household" repair remedies work?  Like with toothpaste or peanut butter or Brasso or bananas?

The best remedy for scratched discs I have discovered, is to rip the disc to your computer (PC DVD-ROM drives, from my experience, seem to handle scratches better than regular DVD players and usually have no problem copying an entire disc that a regular DVD player might have a hard time with.) and burn it to a blank DVD-/+R. I've been using this method since the I got my first CD burner with regular old music CDs. I usually just toss the recorded DVD into a white sleeve and tuck it in behind the DVD's booklet/chapter listing sheet. Of course, that is far less than ideal.

Have you perhaps tried contacting the actual manufacturer of the product to compain about their retail packaging failing to protect the discs and resulting in damaging your product? There is a chance they'll offer to send you a replacement disc, especially if it is happening in large numbers and they are recieveing numerous complants.

When Halo 3 came out the fancy special edition packaging proved faulty and allowed the discs to come dislodged during shipping resulting in many discs scratched beyond use, so the manufacturer set up a replacement program. It is worth at least trying to zip them an email. You have nothing to lose at any rate.

My wife does the peanut butter trick.  I used to make fun of her, but by golly, it seems to work!

Ha, I actually used toothpaste.  It created tons more little scratches than it used to have, but it apparently buffed out the one big scratch, and it's now playing perfectly even though it looks like crap...

Yeah, I was afraid the toothpaste would scratch it up. Well, at least it fixed it.

It's probably very minty now as well, which should be more pleasant when the tray opens.

This is probably more of a message to bkev than anybody else, but I got confirmation on last week's DaizEX podcast that the next episode previews have been juxtaposed with the ending credits.  I really wanted to put that in my video, but I was desperate to get that thing out before they did their review for fear people would think I was just copying them.  Since I wasn't entirely sure that was a mistake (although I was pretty sure), I decided to leave it alone.  But, honestly, to me, that's the biggest mistake of this entire set.  Thankfully it's easy for me to just skip to the next chapter after the episode ends and then skip back to rectify this mistake, but it is more of a pain than it should have been.  And since, from the American end at least, our complaints towards FUNimation are in regards to their attempts to "modernize" the show with a new aspect ratio and DVNR, it seems that not even TOEI was exempt from a bit of this mentality, assuming Hujio's assertion that it was reordered to fit in line with current anime releases is accurate.

Oh, wow, by the by, I can't remember if it was this thread or another one where I was expressing my jealousy over not being offered revenue sharing by YouTube... well, since this DBZ video, over the course of two weeks, has doubled the number of views my previous record holder had, I have now received that option.  Ha!  DBZ really brings out the fanboys, doesn't it?

I have a feeling that old-school Warbler will really get a kick out of my next video.  An e-cookie to whoever guesses what it's about.

Geez, I can't think of any hints that wouldn't give it away entirely other than saying "old-school Warbler," which I also thought would give it away.
