Advice on Purchasing Blu Rays



After noticing a MASSIVE price reduction in owning the entire series on Blu Ray (for as little
as $60), I did some research and discovered the cheaper box set of Blu Rays have garnered
mostly rotten reviews.

On Amazon, for instance, I'd wager 95 percent of people who rated the show from 1 star
to 5 stars, all complained about the same thing: the packaging is terrible...so bad, in fact,
that people have had serious issues even removing the discs from the hubs! People have
said the discs bend terribly when they attempt to remove them, and many stated they had
to use screwdrivers (!) on the hubs themselves to remove discs.

If this complaint was limited to only a small percentage, I'd ignore it and order. But when
virtually EVERY reviewer complains about this, it makes me not want to purchase this.
(one wag wrote that trying to remove these discs was akin to trying to take a drug away
from a junkie!).

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

If the packaging and the hubs are really that bad, you can always put the discs in different boxes or envelopes. The important thing is the quality of the blu ray discs themselves. Sixty bucks sounds like a good deal.
