This includes 2 Sony DVD players, my Macbook, and both of the Pioneer DVD drivers in my desktop.

I looked online to see if there were any solutions for this. A quick google search reveals plenty of playback problems, but no real solutions, other than “Download a ripped copy, here’s a torrent.”

Frustrated, I got into a 20 minute argument with the manager of a Best Buy before he let me return it, even though it was opened.
