allycat999 in a situation like this I would always photograph the disk. Did you by any chance do this and if so could you post the images. Would be interesting to see.

I have spent a fortune with Play and have never had a problem ever, they are brilliant. Everyone makes mistakes but if a company such as Play have made a mistake like this then they would be in big trouble if you wanted to make a meal out of it.

As someone has already said, certain DVDs are coming on extremly bad DVD disks at the moment which do look like a copied DVD. Blockbuster have them for their rentals.

This obviously isnt the case in your scenario though due to the fact that the DVD was not sealed - very strange

Hi, no unfortunately I didn't photograph the discs, but it was not an orange one like you posted it was a purple backed dvdr. I copy my kids walt disney and let them play the copy keeping the original safe to make another copy when they scratch the disc. Having a 2 and 3 year old this saves me a fortune and tempers when they ruin a disc. I use dvdr printables so I instantly recognised this one as a copy. A quick check in the computer confirmed this to be a standard dvdr not even a DL disc. Had no response yet from play except send the disc back for a refund. I must point out that I have used play in the past and had no problems before but I was stunned to receive a copied disc. :eek:

For what it's worth, play.com are one of the best companies* on the web. I, and many of my friends and family, have spent a lot of money with them and have never been anything less than satisfied with them. They have an extremely good reputation umong web-goers with much of thier business generated by word of mouth.

* Should that be companys or companies? It is not plural, but companys doesn't look right. I know it doesn't matter but it's bugging me!

Ditto - it looks like Gizmo, after whom my dog (after whom I am named) is named!

(it is companies-could be worded 'out of many companies, play is the best'-sorry I can't explain any better!)

No, you explained it well. I am a real pedant when it comes to this sort of stuff - I always write with proper apostrophes and grammar (even when texting, entering data on Sage accounts etc.).

Thanks gizmo, although my grammar is pretty good, my range of vocab is appalling...just had to look up pedant in the dictionary-have certainly learnt something new today!

I never used to use the word, until I watched a documentary on proper use of English in which it was used all the time, and I think it just stuck with me!

You're speling is'nt grate thogh.

As you are a self-confessed pedant, I do hope the two mistakes in one sentence were deliberate.
