(specific to Region 1 DVD from Manga)
A followup.  Manga finally confirms some defective discs were shipped:
<http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/article.php?id=2767>
"First off, Keith acknowledged that some of the DVDs were in fact
defective and explains the actual defect. Of aproximately 70 000 End
of Eva DVDs produced, one batch of about 5000 did not press correctly,
resulting in the second layer being somewhat off-center. Depending on
the DVD player, this resulted in anything from some minor skipping, to
the second part of the DVD being completely unplayable."


Disc exchange program info:
<http://www.animeondvd.com/press/manga/manga022.php>
" If you have experienced difficulties playing your disc, we recommend
the following:

1.If you have purchased a possible problematic disc, please return it
to your store for an exchange. It is highly likely that the
replacement disc will perform correctly.

2.If this procedure does not work for you, please send us your disc
including the packaging to:

Manga Entertainment
Evangelion DVD
P.O. Box 482
Lincolnshire, Il 60069-0482
"


So anyone planing on purchasing a used or auction R1 EoE disc should
beware... may have to pay shipping again to get a working replacement
from Manga!
