I finally got my activation code for my digital copy. I downloaded it to the computer and now I can’t get it on my mp3 player. I am so frustrated!!!
The case it comes in is very … well, it’s cool, but the DVDs slip around, so when you buy your DVD, the first thing you need to do is get them out of there and put them in another case or a DVD book or something. That’s what I did, and they’re scratch-free. 
My DVD got scratched in transit because of the silly packaging. >:[ I can still watch it, but it just skips for a second at a time for the first 20 minutes of the movie every few minutes or so.
That stinks. 
I mean, unique and interesting packaging and all but … well, it needed a little clippy-center thing that holds the disc in place, and it didn’t. That was its’ flaw. 
Just a bit of info for anyone having trouble getting past the copy protection on their DVD. I did a bit of searching and it does seem as if Disney has put their new version of their copy protection system on their DVDs, including with WALL•E. You should try downloading Ideal DVD Copy. I was having trouble even playing my DVD, the reason being either the different region code of my computer and the DVD conflicting against each other, or the new copy protection on the DVD. AnyDVD didn’t work, neither did DVD Shrink when all I wanted to do was watch the movie on my computer. So give Ideal DVD Copy a try if you are having troubles too. You can use it 10 times before having to pay for it. Just make sure AnyDVD is turned off otherwise it won’t work.
Oh, and I don’t even know why they bother with that digital file on disc 3 - the quality isn’t even good enough to make graphics, let alone watch.
Another great DVD ripper/decoder that works for WALL-E is a little program called DVDFab. It is a free download and does not require any activation to use the decrypter. The full version is available for purchase if those features are needed.

It worked beautifully for me.
My special edition DVD discs don’t look scratched or damaged at all, but they freeze and skip.
This is not an Amazon issue. I bought mine from Target. 
I’m waiting a bit before I exchange it, because this seems to be a problem with a lot of Wall-E DVDs–dimly hoping it gets corrected before too long. What burns me is that Target (and probably most places) won’t let you return DVDs, only exchange them, because if you try to return a DVD you are almost certainly a dirty rotten pirate.
Oh dang, Lol

One of my sisters recently got the 3-Disc Edition of the movie for this past Christmas and I was watching the movie on it yesterday, and I did see a few stalls here and there on the FPS of the movie.
I was believing that it was the DVD/VHS Combo player that I have, until I read this thread about defects on the DVDs.
The first time I bought Wall-E on DVD I got the 3-Disc Special Edition, and I also had the first disc not playing right cause of that eco-friendly recyclable packaging it came in. So after that I just bought an extra copy of the movie from the single disc release and still kept the special features disc and digital copy that I already had, and they all play fine now. Simple solution.
My DVD has issues as well. But I plan on getting a Blu-Ray player soon so maybe the Blu-Ray version will be much better.
I’m getting the UK 2-disc edition for Christmas. I currently don’t know if it’ll come in the special packaging or a standard DVD case (They are avalible, surpisingly, at least in the UK I think).
I did see pictures of the special packaging and thought of something that could’ve also helped keep the disc in the slot. They could’ve placed tabs across certian points of the disc holder itself, therefore keeping the disc in better. Might not’ve been the ultimate solution, but it could’ve worked.
Note to self: When opening special case, open with front side facing up/laying flat.
I’ve never had any problem with scratched DVDs. But I’ll be extra careful. I do have issues opening it up and sliding it back, but I’m pretty sure that’s just me 
My WALL-E disc skips the whole scene where captain McCrea is fighting Auto down to the part when EVE and WALL-E are in the trash place. I knew that ‘Eco-friendly’ package was a ripoff. It won’t even play the movie on our DVD player (a lot of our movies don’t work on it though.) I wanted to buy it on 3-disc edition, but now I see there are problems with that, too. And I hate that slide out thing, the disc falls out of it whenever I open it. 
I hate the packaging b/c it’s so fragile, and the DVD hardly has ANYTHING extra on it, but I’ve never had the problems listed here.
Yeah, I’ve borrowed my friend’s 3-Disk one and the extra features are awesome, I just don’t have the money to fork out to get anything more than the basic. But at least the WALL-E DVD has SOME features. Besides the two shorts there was NOTHING in the Up special feataures (1 disc one, I’m sure there’s a lot in the 3-Disc)
Oh yeah, Up doesn’t have hardly anything on it, not even easter eggs. 
I really want to see the WALL-E 3-disc. I’m dying here.
Try to see it! I was impressed with all the special features.
Bought it at Sam’s, and it works ok except for a bad sector at the beginning between the last commercial and the menu. You have to play with it for a little while to get it to work, but besides that it runs fine.
My solution? I ripped the DVD to my hard drive.
I live in the UK, and I got the 2-Disc edition for my birthday. I don’t know where it was bought from, but it came in a standard plastic case. Lucky me as well. If I’d got the cardboard packaging, it wouldn’t fit with the rest of my collection.
