They'll probalby exchange it for another copy of the same disk. That
also may not play, but at least you've raised your small voice, caused
a little trouble, and created an un-retail-saleable copy of the
product.

And then you can sell your second copy on eBay.

I hate that, though. If I bother to drive my ass to the store to return
something, I don't want another one, I want my friggin money back, but no
one will give it back anymore, will they? They all want to give you a store
credit, so that they can keep the money and just let you decide what you
wanted to spend it on later. If the purchase was for more than $20 I'll
usually make a scene until they give me my money back. I'm not embarrassed
(I'm a lead singer, I don't possess the capacity to be embarrassedg), but
the store manager usually is.
