![]() True, Amazon is posting something, and something is better then nothing. Someone can correct me if I errored in the description of the HGWT problem. ![]() Based on how it all occurred, it sure appeared like someone new what was going on and wanted to get rid of the stock. Those disks continued to be sold through Amazon way after people complained of the issue. Many jumped on this deal only to find out over after a while the disks turned cloudy and stopped playing. I recall a HGWT set being sold once extremely cheaply while other related sets maintained normal pricing. And of all the sellers, Amazon would be the one I would hope to take the extra step.Īlso, I like Amazon but they do straddle a gray line at times. Does it help a little, sure, but it could have gone a step futher in many of our opinions. Their warning does nothing to help a first time buyer or someone that can't read between the lines. That is why many here feel this warning has no "teeth" to it. But since it obviously does affect some (I would think enough) as is reported in their own feedback sections, you would think they would include that in the warning. Kemcha, as you state if it affected the majority of people you would think they would remove it from their website. I have as of yet not experienced the problem (not that I may not ever) and so I won't try to say for certainty which do and which do not. I generally only see references to it with DVD-18's and not all of them. ![]() I agree it is not all double-sided disks. Retailers do not generally sell defective merchandise when they are aware that they are defective and Amazon removes said product from their website when they are aware that it's defective. If the problem were widespread, then Amazon would simply remove them from being sold on their website. Not everyone has playback problems with a particular season set that has these double sided DVD's. Instead of complimenting Amazon for placing a disclaimer that a particular DVD release is double sided, everyone is menstrating over the fact that they don't say they have playback problems. ![]() The problem, Leo, is that everyone is equating double sided DVD's with playback problems and that's an unfair assertion. I stopped having problems with the playback issue with double sided DVD's when I purchased a Phillips DVD Player with DIVX playback. Not only that, but, certain DVD manufactured DVD players do not play certain double sided DVD's. But, I also think they cannot identify playback problems because different people have different experiences and these DVD's aren't 100% compatible with every DVD player out there.īecause not all double sided DVD's have problems and it doesn't involve all double sided DVD's. While I agree it doesn't specify to address double sided DVD playback problems, I do think that it's a good step by Amazon to identify which disks are double sided so that Amazon Customers can make that choice for themselves. It also serves to allow Amazon's own consumers to decide on whether to buy it or not. I really think that's a step in the right direction. I think it's a good thing that Amazon is making this step at identifying the sets that have double sided DVD's. However, I've experience problems with "The Pretender" DVD sets where-as others haven't experienced any problems. I've purchased the Knight Rider, Magnum P.I., Dukes of Hazzard and while some members here have experienced skipping and "pausing" problems with the double sided disks, I haven't experienced any of these problems, with these sets that I have mentioned. Not only that, but different DVD players experience different problems with double sided disks. Different consumers experience different problems with these double sided disks. Ockeghem, I think the problem is that they are too infrequent, which may be why they don't list them in the way you mention.
