Wow, Square-Enix, wow.

Well, I received my copy of FFXIII on the 12th in the mail from Amazon. This is what was inside.

Yup, two disc 2s, one disc 3 and no disc 1. And they could only get me a replacement today. By the way, it was missing the Square-Enix registration codes for the avatar items too. However, it was sealed in every other respect and looked unopened. At least the disc 2 that I had received in my replacement copy was heavily damaged, and both disc 2s in the original copy were flawless.
 
Has this happened to anybody else in your history of multidisc gaming? When I called Square, their rep says that this is the first instance that their service department has ever heard of such a thing. Is it as rare as they believe? 
 
Edit: Since this topic is plagued by "Shoulda bought it for PS3", I'm going to say that I don't have a PS3 (for both monetary and preferential reasons). Nor do I plan on getting one until I hear absolute proof that Gran Turismo 5 is better than DiRT 2 and Forza Motorsport 3 combined. If that is, then I'll have moved systems in a flash. The exclusives right now aren't doing it for me, as the only game I want to play is Uncharted 2. I know a friend who basically has most other exclusives and they just aren't that great.
