A couple weeks ago, I bought the newly released 2-DVD set of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead at Best Buy. The movie won't play properly -- every few minutes the screen becomes completely pixelated and distorted (especially during fast action sequences), and it gets worse as the movie progresses. Same with the bonus interview disc. I returned the DVD for another copy, same problem. I rented a copy from Netflix, same problem.

Of course, Best Buy says they won't give me a refund or even store credit for an opened DVD, despite an obvious manufacturing defect...or is it? I've had NO problems at all with other discs on my regular standalone player (Toshiba SD-3950) but they claim nobody else has had a problem with this title. Of course, they could be lying...

So has anyone had trouble with this DVD?
