As <b>merkerguitars</b> said, that technique really does work.

I bought a crappy Samsung DVD player a long time ago, when DVD players were first introduced. Later, when "The Matrix" came out on DVD, I tried playing it in my Samsung player. Didn't work. I called Samsung and they said that some newer DVD's won't play on that particular model (Something to do with the newer DVDs being dual layered... correct me if I'm wrong).

Anywho, I took out my frustration on Sam's Club. I went there and purchased a $400 top of the line 5-disc carousel Toshiba DVD player. Got it home, hooked it up and slapped that old Samsung in the box and returned that badboy to Sam's Club and got my $400 back... cash. They didn't even bother opening the box. They never do.

If they do happen to open the box and realize you're trying to pull a fast one, just tell them that you're dumb ass girlfriend was supposed to package it back up while you were at work, so you could return it when you got home. <i>"She must have accidentally wrapped up the wrong player. Sorry, but we have one in every room, and she must have got a little confused about which one had to go back."</i> That was my plan going in.
