    I haven't purchased this yet, but when browsing the latest offers from Play.com, I noticed a couple of comments about problems with installing with the same error message noted by the OP

    it's a problem reading the media - whether that's because the media is bad/scratched or your drive is having a problem remains to be seen

    Re: Help With Installation??? :S

    Mine installed ok but i got mine from gameplay not play.

    reading that link sounds like yet another victory for copy protection!

    hurrah!

    Or is it just a bad batch from play?

    Gameplay no longer list the game curiously..

    returning it for a replacement's probably the best bet

    Re: Help With Installation??? :S

    Aye all sorted well after faffing about a bit any way...

    I connected my old old laptop to my network and then shared out the DVD drive from it then installed Assassins Creed 2 from the Laptop DVD over the network onto my gaming rig... was so quick to install as well : )

    A total joke that this had to be done to play a game that i purchased my hard cash!
