Much of that is down to the fact that I'm in the UK and manufacturing and QC standards for discs in Europe seem to have been rather more robust than for those produced at plants in the US and Mexico. There's been problems with Blu-rays released by a couple of labels around the end of the 2000s, but nothing quite on the scale of the notorious double-sided flipper discs and the self-destructing Warner Bros releases that have plagued North American collectors.
Which labels are a problem in the US?
