Blast you EA {Minor Rant}

So I go and get MVP Baseball 2005 tonight, bring it home to play. Before I leave the store I open it up to make sure neither of the two CDs are broken (originally started doing so after hearing peoples horror stories about pre-broken CDs). Both are intact, so I head home. Well it was dark in my truck when I was leaving, and it turns out I have two Disk 2s and no Disk 1. So I cant play, cant install, basically cant do jack shit. Incredibly frustrating, and I would snap the damn extra CD in half except for I need to exchange it. Incredibly odd little thing, and of course it has to happen to me after such a crappy week. Just felt like complaining for a few seconds.

Anything like this ever happen to any of you?

The same thing happened to me with Age of Mythology. If it makes you feel any better I was pretty frustrated too. It was a few days before I had time to exchange it and I had to drive across town to do it.

My first copy of Jane's USAF was completely missing the silkscreened graphics on each CD. The correct info was on each CD, but no title was printed on them.

Most places in the UK keep the discs out of the box, so when you buy a game the assistant has to put them in. I dread buying a game when the assistant is clearly not a gamer because there's about a 50/50 chance you won't get all the discs. So I have to check, and sure enough, a lot of the time I go back to ask for the rest.

Many years ago, I bought the game Alien Legacy from Sierra. The game wouldn't run, and I find out that a batch of the disks were bad. I e-mail Sierra, and they send me another copy of the game. Unfortunately, they sent me another of the bad disks. I e-mail them again, and they finally send me a working copy, and a free game of my choice (I picked Gabriel Knight 2) for my trouble.
