Anyone noticed that some of the discs come looking deliberately scratched up. I received Bourne Ultimatum HD-DVD from Netflix and it was scratched up so badly and I had to watch the dvd side for the end of the movie. it had been out maybe a week when I received it. I also received Planet Earth disk 2 blu-ray from Blockbuster online and it had symetrical, deep scratches in several places. Unplayable. It looked like someone dragged a fork, a very sharp fork across the disc. Very strange. How does that happen. I mean you take the disc out of the envelope, put it in the player and then back in the envelope. How can these discs be so badly damaged?

Pick me!

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
