I'm having the same problem, but with disc 4. Discs 1-3 copied quickly, but disc 4 started off at a crawl, slowed down to practically nothing around the 21 GB mark, and stalled out altogether at 21.57 GB. When I glanced at the disc the first time it happened, I didn't notice any scratches or anything, but after the 2nd time I realized that disc (and that one alone) has a strange irregular discoloration around the outer perimeter. I can only see it if I tilt it in the light just right. Total off-colored surface area is maybe 2/3 of the disc. Very curious to know whether anyone else having this problem sees the same thing on whichever disc is stalling out for them...
In any case, I don't really want to download the game, either. I *wanted* to install it off the hard copy.
For those who did give up and download, did you still get all your deluxe edition extras? I'm debating now whether I want to give in and download too, or ask Amazon to replace...
I had the same problem with discs stalling out (disc 2 stopped installing and wouldn't start again, kept getting error message). It has a big discoloration like Fugue described. Same with disc 4. I'm trying to download it now. Slowly. We'll see how that goes.
I also tried going offline in origin and going through the normal windows install/run thing, but I couldn't get anything to work that way. Do you have to do anything special?

I didn't, no. Put it in offline mode, started over from scratch, and disc 4 copied at the same speed as the other three. Honestly, I was really pretty surprised that it worked. I really figured it was going to turn out to be a damaged disc.
Unless it really is a damaged disc and something just coincidentally got it over the hump? Dunno, it's beyond my pay grade.
Sorry for getting your hopes up.
I did what you said as I had the 1st disc taking forever to install. After 7 hours, I had only 17% of the game installed. Now, Origin won't let me install the disc at all. How can I install the game and get it to install faster?
