   Not yet, but there's STILL problems with the S3 packaging.  I   
   purchased a copy from my local Virgin Shop in the sale, the clasps   
   that hold the discs in were extremely firm, but disc 3 has what looked   
   like a circular abrasion on it as if someone has fixed a grinding   
   wheel to the spindle.  I took it back and lo and behold ALL 3 copies   
   they had in stock were damaged, I saw 2 with returns stickers on with   
   note about scratched discs, and the last one had identical damage to   
   disc 3.   
      
   I thought this crap had been sorted out by now, I got my money back   
   and am seriouly thinking of just not bothering with the rest of the B5   
   sets.
