UK version does it again. I returned my Canadian version of X&Y to HMV without much question (there's a scam right there if you wanted !!!) I could have just kept the clone I made using CloneCD, Instead, I ordered the UK version of X&Y on amazon.co.uk and four days later I now have a disc that I can play on my emmlabs. The package doesn't have the Copy COntrolled logo, yet it doesn't have the CD logo either. Nonetheless, it plays flawlessly without the static. I also get the impression that the overall sound is better too, but I can't be sure.
