  • Cex etc bad condition second hand CD's, DVD's & Blu-Rays - What do people do with these discs? - Page 2 — Digital Spy

    I don't know how this shop has remained in business, with such shoddy quality of the goods that they sell. I am aware that some people may claim not to have had any major problems with their stuff, but I just don't believe that to be 100% true at all. No wonder their DVDs are so cheap. I now know why. Really? I've been using CEX (stupid name) for 4 years now pretty regularly and in all that time, only two DVDs have had playability issues. ... I don't understand this, either. Some posters on here say that they have had faulty discs from CEX, but quite a few claim that they have had no problems or scratched discs at all.
