Batman Begins Deluxe edition problematic (1 Viewer)

[Charlie Campisi]

I bought the BB Deluxe Edition. Played it all the way through and also the second disk without a problem on a Panasonic S55S. BTW, I also completely missed the layer change so maybe I was tired and had one beer too many. Where is it?

Plays fine on my Denon 2200 also!

This may be unrelated and/or covered in another thread, but when I finally found a copy of the deluxe edition this past weekend, I mentioned that they were difficult to find. The clerk replied that this was due to a pressing error in the second run of the discs, and as a result, stores were no longer getting shipments of the deluxe edition - thus creating a limited deluxe edition.

It was his contention that they were not going to press any more DE sets - so get them now (this was mentioned after I made the purchase, and was not a ploy to get me to buy the set).

IF the problem is not in the player and IF the above tale is true (I'm a bit skeptical) perhaps you purchased one of the faulty second runs?

I hope you find a solution to your problem.

It seems pretty unlikely that WB spent the money on creating the extras and would just not make any more discs (or money) due to a pressing error. There might be some problem but the disc is gonna available as soon as Warners can get it out the door.

I received the 2 Disc Deluxe Edition of Batman Begins for Christmas. When I put the special features disc into my player, the disc would stop after the Warner Bros. logo was shown. I pressed "Sequential Play" and the theatrical movie (not the special features as advertised) played. Now, this is a pressing mistake to the extreme. Anyone know how I can rectify this? Warner Home Video makes it impossible to get in touch with them.

Tried mine last night and played through everything just fine.

No problems here (2-disc deluxe version) on a Denon DVD-1600 with either disc...

Rented it last week and played fine on our Yamaha C950 and no pause for the layer change.

We bought the copy we rented for $7.99 minus the rental fee. They had so many of them this one looked new, hardly been rented.

Got the deluxe edition from Circuit City and have not had a problem playing either disc.

I just ran into the same problem - got a replacement copy from Amazon, and it has the same problem as well. The 2nd disc freezes up after the FBI warning and WB logo on both of my Sony players as well as PowerDVD on my laptop. If I manually went to Title 1 in PowerDVD, it started playing the movie! But after an hour of that, it would hang as well. I could also find bits and pieces of the special features. This thing is a disaster.

Anyhoo, I found this on WB's site:

"I purchased a defective DVD - I returned it for a replacement but the replacement is defective as well. What can I do?
