The Matrix Revolutions - glitch? (1 Viewer)

[John H Ross]

See!

Fingers crossed there's an (easily identifyable) fixed version out there soon! But knowing what happened with the WB Superman DVDs we'll probably have to knowingly buy the dud version and then send the disc away, receiving in return a replacement that's littered with scratches and other such nonsense.

Cept you have to work really hard to scratch a Blu-ray disc. I get them from NetFlix all the time, without so much as a hair line scratch. Cant say the same about the rental DVDs.
I was one of the folks who got a replacement Pirates of the Caribbean. It was fine in the mailer it came in. Dont worry about scratches.

 

[John H Ross]

Oh I have about 18 or so BDs so far and I've already seen at least one lightly scratched disc. Granted I've also had 2 floaters without a mark on them. But I'm sure these aren't as impervious to surface marks as advertised.

I'd prefer not to take the risk. It'd be nice if they got it right first time round!

 

[Paul Arnette]

I've seen a number of BDs scratched where it is pretty obvious the disc was scratched before the protective coating was applied, so it can happen. I've also seen plenty of Netflix BDs that have been scratched. Never underestimate the stupidity and carelessness of people.

 

[RickER]

Oh i agree 100%. I have a no scratch policy on all DVDs and Blu-rays...the ones i buy. I have had to exchange one or two Blu-rays that were scratched, and i cant even tell you how many DVDs i exchange. Rentals, i just look at them, and wipe off the finger prints. I hate those too!

 

[Edward Schatz]

This ever get fixed?

 

[Brandon Conway]

I wouldn't expect an exchange program until January at the earliest.

 

[Paul Arnette]

I don't mind waiting until after the holidays for an exchange program. That said, I will be 'pounding the Internet pavement' after the new year to make sure enough of a ruckus is made to ensure this issue isn't swept under the proverbial rug.

 

[John H Ross]

I'm with ya on that. I've decided not to buy this set until the problem is fixed. The DVDs will do fine until then.

 

[Paul Arnette]

So now that CES is wrapping up how much longer until should we wait for Warner Bros. to address this issue before making some noise?

 

[JediFonger]

even if this is resolved, they'll do a replacement program, not reissue the box sets.

 

[Paul Arnette]

Yeah, I understand that. It is the replacement program I am interested in. I guess if the next couple weeks don't pass with some positive news I will see if Bill Hunt or someone at thedigitalbits is willing to press the issue.

 

[John H Ross]

I'd like to think they'll eventually get a fixed version of the box set out there!

But I guess that would be far too convenient for the consumer... who am I kidding?

 

[JediFonger]

remember the back to the future framing issue? afaik, they STILL never replaced new copies of the DVD. u just need to be smart enough to do the exchange urself. imagine how many hundreds of thousands of copies out there are screwed up!!!

 

[Brandon Conway]

Generally, a studio will let the current stock of incorrect discs naturally sell off and put the corrected disc in newly made copies.

And the BTTF DVDs did eventually had the corrected versions in the store packaging for this reason.

 

[Edward Schatz]

Have corrected discs been issued yet?

 

[JediFonger]

cause only the people in this thread see it? =P

 

[Edward Schatz]

They not only need to fix it, but boost the bitrate. It appears they just ported the HD-DVD release.

 

[Brandon Conway]

Warner should get on the ball regarding this. Ample time post-release to get things lined up for a replacement has passed.

I wouldn't expect a boosted but rate, though. That's just not in the cards.

 

[Paul Arnette]

It seems ridiculous that this hasn't been addressed yet. Of course, Disney never address the Pinocchio audio issue either. Am I beginning to notice a trend here?
