I got tired of people always pointing out that I have a lot of unopened DVDs on my shelves, so I had an "unwrapping party" today and spent about an hour opening up the sealed packages.

As I opened up each package and made sure each disc was unscratched, -- much to my surprise -- when I opened "16 Candles" I instead found "A Simple Twist of Fate" (starring Steve Martin).

Needless to say, I was a little ticked off, but when I took the movie off the spindle I found "16 Candles" below it.

Has this kind of thing ever happened to any of you?

I know that many people have gotten the wrong movie packaged in their case, but this is the first I've heard of multiple movies accidentally packaged together.

Now that's what I call a simple twist of fate.

It hasn't happened to me, which I know because I always open my DVDs as soon as I get home. Only once have I had to return a disc because of a scratch/defect (it was a floater).

That happened to me once, but it was two copies of the same disc. I sold the extra one on eBay, after making myself a color copy of the insert.

Nope - you lucky bastard.

I bought Remember the Titans and had two of the same discs. I kept 1 disc and the case and sold the extra disc on eBay. I also bought Go Nagai's The Devil Lady vol. 2 but when I played the dvd it was actually a different anime called Blue Seed (even though Devil Lady was printed on the dvd). I ended up having to exchange the dvd through ADV.

Nope, never was lucky enough to get an extra disc. A couple times I've found an extra insert, though

Nope just a Shaun of The Dead 2-Disc package that included the same disc twice,there were a few others like that,but Shaun is the one I remember the most,most recent you see.

I'll let you know after I open my 300+ unopened DVD cases.

Well, it kind of happened to me once. About a year after buying the first MAD ABOUT YOU DVD set, I opened it to find out that one of the DVDs was MISSING. Now I open all my stuff right away, even if I don't intend to watch it for a while.

darkhawk

I bought The Program and in it was An Innocent Man.
Also bought Lady of Burlesque and there was no dvd in it

What did you do about it? Is there really any course of action that we can take if this happens.

It happened to me once. It was the fourth disc of a friends season 1 set from Columbia House.

Luckily it was a set and luckily I opened it right away. They exchanged it without any trouble. But what if I didn't open it. In fact I still have almost the entire series unopened because I plan on giving them for future presents over the next year or so.

I had this happen to me a cd before, but never a DVD.

Maxflier

Never had this happen to me before. But today i got my first DVD that was shrinkwrapped twice, that was kinda weird.

Pwman

Only thing extra I ever got was a gross hair that was like 2 feet long

dvdbigfan

When I bought the Two Towers EE, it was missing the third disc.

Store replaced it, no problem. But that sucks when you planned to sit down and watch the extras and discovered that.

Spiderbite

How is it lucky? A free copy of "A Simple Twist of Fate" is nothing to be envious about.

DVDHO

I bought KnockOut Kings for the PS1 and it had a Xmas CD in the case instead,man was that a big hassle at BestBuy because they didnt believe me at the time,after about 30 min.they gave me a new game.

PensFan66

2 of The Sixth Sense Vista Series. Disc One (the movie). Gave it to a friend.

Decker

When I bought Four Flicks, the Rolling Stones 4-DVD set, I found it had an extra copy of disc 2 (the arena concert) sitting on top of another one. So I have one in my easy-access binder and the 4disc set intact. That's it for me (though I also have many unopened discs).

starseed1981

I bought a copy of The Virgin Suicides @ Blockbuster once..and there was also a copy of Being John Malkovich inside.

matome

I wish I was lucky enough for this to happen to me.

bboisvert

That's only happened to me once... and it was some crappy $4 action movie. The extra DVD was just another copy of the same movie. Crap.

Brian Shannon

Nope

I had this happen on x-files season 4, there were two disc 3's on top of each other. Thought it was funny, sold it for 5 bucks. Helped offset the price i paid when they were expensive.
