AnimeNation had no problems with playing the Endless Waltz DVD in a Playstation 2.

Bandai Entertainment has issued a generic, possibly useless, form response in reaction to the problem requesting consumers with defective discs to contact support@animevillage.com for instructions on how to return the defective discs for a replacement. Unfortunately, the problem is not with individual defective discs, but with the disc pressing itself. All copies of these defective DVDs are identical. If one copy does not play in your DVD player, replacement copies also will not play in your DVD player. We will keep AnimeNation news readers updated of new information on this situation as we hear it.
