Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank sheriffsthename
it won't let me remove this auto applied discount: REWIND15OFF3
Edit: At the time the section titled 40% off 3 or more wasn't yet live. So I was throwing in random steelbooks into my cart 😔

i ordered several movies from this seller. beware and check your discs. despite all of them coming shrink wrapped, they were all used. finger prints on bottom and some even asking if i wasn't to resume where it last left off when the prior owner played it. others had this word gunk on the inside of the box on the side where the disc goes in. if you look at the reviews, every now and then there are some folks mentioning the same. i don't know if i got unlucky or if others are assuming they got new ones because of the shrink wrap that wasn't original, but more of a heads up
UHD 4K disks are read only media... meaning it is technically impossible for a disk to "remember" where it was stopped/paused on a previous player. It is a function of the player to index where a particular disk was stopped on that player. As for the rest, it is definitely possible that they are repackaging used disks, another way to be sure is to try to redeem the digital version of the movie, those redemption codes are serialized and unique. It is possible, but highly unlikely, that someone would buy and open a disk but not redeem the code. Personally, as long as the disk doesn't have any permanent scratches, etc. and the code works, I don't think I will care. I normally don't buy useed 4k disks because the few times I tried the disks have always had playback issues. Given the high density of data on the disk, they are pretty sensitive to surface imperfections. I ordered 12 movies from this deal, so I guess I will have 12 chances to confirm used vs. new.
that's what i thought as well. imagine my surprise when i put the disc in immediately after opening from shrink wrap? it seems some 4k discs are coded to somehow recall where it last left off and others aren't. if you have 2 different 4k players and zombieland 1, you can test it out yourself. I'm telling you that's what happened to me.. here's what i looked up after it happened to me cause i was thinking the same exact thing at first (hence the shock). seller probably was thinking the same? https://www.reddit.com/r/4kbluray...reme

Wish they had Jaws, Great Outdoors.

It would require expensive tech in both the disc and the player, all to achieve a resume feature that would work worse than what we are telling you actually exists.
If your player asked you to resume Zombieland, it is beyond any doubt because that player had already played a Zombieland disc previously.

It's not possible for any disc to resume at the same spot on another machine. This isn't a VHS tape. Your stopping point is cached on your individual player. Not the disc. It's literally impossible for any player to write data to any disc. Players "read" they don't "write." If your player is resuming the disc it's only possible because you previously watched the movie. All discs are the same. They aren't unique. So it would resume the same spot regardless of which disc was inserted.

I am not doubting that your discs were repackaged, but what you are claiming about it remembering the progress on the disc itself is absolutely physically impossible.
It would require expensive tech in both the disc and the player, all to achieve a resume feature that would work worse than what we are telling you actually exists.
If your player asked you to resume Zombieland, it is beyond any doubt because that player had already played a Zombieland disc previously.
