Just read a couple of negative reviews, and it seems the DVD quality might not be up to snuff.

Buyer beware.

Well shoot, I'll find out when it comes in. Couldn't help it, the DVD deal just seemed to good to pass up.

They ran this same special around Christmas and I snatched it up. I believe that also came from a tip on the movie board.

The deal may be over, but - I bought that same box set (new) on eBay for $65. Don't ignore the complaints about DVD quality. Many played like scratched discs, straight out of the box. It took away from the experience of watching a great series.

FWIW you might have gotten a bootleg copy.

Not a single one of my disks has skipped or freezed up when watching.

You are seriously comparing DVDs you bought off of ebay to those bought from Amazon?
