First of all, two HD discs were duplicates of each other. And a third one took forever--and I do mean forever--to load, and then the image would freeze multiple times. The DVD player is a brand new Sony Blu Ray HD model, and it has played other HD discs and ordinary Blu Ray discs just fine. Whatever process they used to make these discs was defective. It's such a shame--you want to see one of your favorite movies in Blu Ray high definition--and you get sent defective discs.
