PS3 drive very noisy playing Che (region B) from Tesco's DVD rental

I've just got a 2nd copy of Che on BD from Tesco's DVD rental.
Both have resulted in the same issue, i.e. that the BD drive in my PS3 sounds like chav'd up Nova with a big exhaust.
As my PS3 is whisper quiet on every other BD, DVD and game that I throw at it, I assume it's the disk.

Tesco add an additional label close to the centre of the disk with a barcode, I was guessing that maybe the first copy was slightly off centre and causing a wobble as per an unbalanced car wheel. I'd be surprised if it happened twice though.

Anyone else have an issue with the Che disk, or with other Tesco rental disks?

Have to say that I must have watched around 40 films from them so far, and it's the first film that's had an issue.
