it does seem like a dumb move, sending out inferior quality stuff for reviewers.
If the goal was to prevent MP3s from being distributed before the release, I can see the logic, but yeah, it's self-defeating. Better would be to send out discs with slightly off-center paper labels. At 1X in a regular CD player, they're fine, but at 8, 16, or higher, you get enough wobble that it's difficult to read tracks farther out on the disc than 10 minutes. (My experience only, trying to play the CDR someone made. He'd eyeballed the centering of the label, rather than using one of those applicators...)
