That $100 went toward something better, and I never would have gotten it back if I didn't call and say "hey, you guys screwed up."
Congrats on having no backbone.

First off, dham, you keep referring to "damaged" and "defective" goods. This CD would be neither...it is simply incompatible for use on a Mac or Linux system (according to the article I read on zdnet).
Secondly, is there any type of warning on this CD regarding its playability? I am assuming that this is just now starting (given that this article just came out last Wednesday), along with the fact that the CD has been out for several months. Perhaps this "new" version is not yet on store shelves?
Third, technically, you're not actually buying "damaged goods" in this situation. You are attempting to protest a decision made by VivendiUniversal using a risky method that could leave you out of money.
Fourth, the number of people that will probably be affected by this would appear to be rather minute. Truth be told (for good or bad), most people either have a standard audio CD player or use a Windows-based computer.
Lastly, there is nothing wrong with pointing out a problem or error. However, the problem is not with the retailer in this situation, but with VivendiUniversal. And if the retailers don't yet have the information, why should they deserve the brunt of anyone's anger?
