I think you were probably just unlucky. I have been renting videos and DVDs from various places since before i Left home. Granted, I haven't tried Netflix or some other similar rental scheme, but my friends that use them have never complained. I imagine that if you reported the incident to Amazon that they would send you another one at no charge.

Yeah, I've been renting for years, and that's never happened to me. When I was over there, I used amazon.co.uk and never had any problem. I think you just got a lousy disc by accident--definitely report it to amazon and get them to send you another, or credit your account, or whatever.

The first month of the service is free and this was our first disc, so at least we weren't paying for it in the first place. Also, although it was a struggle and we had to start several scenes over a few times, with the exception of a few seconds here and there, I think we did actually manage to see the whole movie.

We did, of course, check the "damaged disc" check-box before returning it.
