Heh, that sucks.

I usually get a couple of those blank discs when I order my CD-R's or DVD-R's, but they're in *addition* to the (correct amount of) recordable media, and included to shield the media during transport, I guess.

that's the joke isn't it - they are there to sheild the disks, would anyone really think they are defect disks? or are we saying this letter is genuine - oh well, i guess it could be.

Well, if the customer ordered 50 disks and only got 48 good ones + the shieldings... :)
