Wow, bunch of thieves here.

Well, I don't believe in "Hell". However, I wouldn't put a lot of trust in you. I've made stupid, dishonest decisions too. I've tried to make those things "right" and I can live with myself.

The question is would Jesus be bringing new DVDs or used DVDs to homeless shelters (homeless shelters with surround sound home theaters of course)?

You aren't getting your dvds in the right places

To OP ever thought about getting it resurfaced at a game store?

Ah, gotcha... I burned out on doing all that multiple account juggling stuff (and CH in general) pretty quickly.

Well, while you're a thief for perpetrating these abhorent practices... you're a down right worthless human being for purchasing these abhorent movies

Me neither

I've never had a problem with a PVD purchase, and most I buy are in nearly new condition without inspection in the store. Unless we're talking about CH enrollments, I don't understand the economics of buying new over slightly used. I buy PVDs that are only a few weeks old for an average of $7 when Hastings has their "buy 2 get 1 for a penny" deal. That's much better than $20 for new titles. Over the course of a month I can own 6-8 more movies for the same amount of money that way.

If it's one of my favorite movies, I'll usually buy new because I want a pristine copy and I don't want to wait to buy it. Otherwise I see no reason to turn my nose up at used titles.

Bad, bad, bad, bad.

That's what I'm thinking. It's a pretty crappy thing to do, since when those people who rent your scratched disc or going to be pretty annoyed when they get home with a disc that won't play. Then they have to take it back and complain to the store. Then the store has to pay for a new one.

So, yes, you guys who does this are jerks. You screwed up, so take the $5 or whatever hit.

I can't believe no one else has asked yet: what's a PVD?

What else could you have done? Be responsible and check out the disc before losing the receipt several weeks later. Try talking to the store and see if you have any luck getting a replacement.

It's not murder or robbing a bank, but it is lame.

I always tuck my receipt into the clip inside the case so I don't misplace it. Then when I watch the movie and verify it is fine I toss the receipt.

I seen 'em low enough that they are cheaper to buy and throw away than to rent and bring back. I'm talking $2 for something like American Dreamz.

Previously Viewed Disc

YGT?

You're probably right. I haven't bought anything pre-viewed there in a long time.

what do you do when you buy more than one dvd at a time?

shady yesh imho, but who cares what i or whomever else thinks? but you otoh, obviously have at least a bit of guilt for posting the question in the first place. decide whether what you did was ok for yourself or not, then let it go

Which I bought NEW for $3.99. No reason to buy used to save 2 bucks.

I did rent Finding Nemo and returned it with Backdoor Sluts 9 in the case instead, is that bad?

I wonder how much of a deal this disc was if the OP had to pay money to rent a second copy just to make the switch - I haven't rented a movie outside of netflix in years - how much is it these days? $3.99? $5.00 ?

Never bought a PVD through a known rental location. Bought them successfully off of Amazon used *knock on wood* - After seeing some of the discs that come in from Netflix, there's no way I would want to risk it. Most people treat their property like crap.

Oh, and don't do it again *raps knuckles with ruler*

I am having trouble figuring out why anyone should feel bad about this. Either disc could have been the disc he bought originally and just by chance he gets the bad one. It's not like the company won't order a replacement copy for the rental.

Are you kidding? Think of the person going in and renting the defective copy: a wasted trip, aggravation, driving back to the store, etc.

I'm not saying I'm always an angel, but how could anyone not feel bad about this?

If you still rent at a B+M, you get what you deserve

Yeah, because no one ever has problems with Netflix or Blockbuster or any other online rental place.

I actually move it from case to case, since I keep all of my unwatched DVDs in a big stack (that is always threatening to rise beyond my reach).
