Holy sh*t ! That sucks !

 

[mlmaier84]

Yikes!

oh my lord........... thats not good!!

Oh, it REALLY wasn't that bad. It made one HELL of door stopper

 

[mlmaier84]

Finally got the word from Zavvi today that I can keep the damaged steelbook as a "gesture of good faith". So if anyone needs or didn't receive the replacement disc, you're more than welcome to have mine. Just PM me and we'll get it straightened out.

 

[denizen]

Well, I finally received my steelie on the weekend but upon opening it, discovered they gave me the faulty disc!!

 

[cooey]

Watched this again over the weekend.... still great fun! A superb little flick IMO

 

[denizen]

Totally agree with you!

 

[Norwichlad]

Great movie, *Spoiler Alert* very similar to Hunger Games with the control room adding dangerous elements. I wonder if they used the same studio?

 

[wolfmansgotnards]

Looks like you have a scratch on your steelbook my friend.

Hopefully they didn't send you the same one they sent me. Returned it last week...

still nothing & no Hunger Games...

 

[denizen]

Yup. Zavvi can be frustrating.

Finally received my zavvi order and its severely dented. Sent email & pics to Zavvi CS and they refunded me since its OOS. What to do with the damaged copy? Do I need to send it back? I'm in Canada so postage is mighty expensive..

If they didn't ask you to return it, and you already have the refund then I would just hang on to it.
Some people are able to fix out dents, maybe ask around, see if someone can help?

Flog it on eBay and list it "mint"?

 

[denizen]

Zavvi have rather impressed me. Told them about the faulty disc which my steel came with & they credited my account with the total for the standard amaray to send to me as a replacement! Wow! So when I get the amaray, all I need to do is replace my faulty disc with the working one.

Gave them some nice feedback on their attention to this.

Just uploading some pictures I took but never uploaded.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I wanted to ask anyone who's watched the replacement disc from this steelbook. I bought this quite a while ago on ebay and it contained the replacement disc, I watched the disc for the first time and saw that the picture would freeze for a fraction of a second, about 4-5 times at the beginning and a couple of times in the middle and about four times towards the end of the film. It sounds like (from what I read here) that the original disc skipped, has any one else had the freezing problem with the replacement discs? I was thinking about buying the amaray to put the disc in the steelbook but I won't bother if this was a problem for all the discs. Any help would be much appreciated

 

[Jace88]

@chunk Never had any problems with my replacement disk, smooth playback

 

[BluSteel2012]

Sounds like you got the original disc. My new disc works perfectly.

Sounds like you may have been had unfortunately?

 

[Geek Tragedy]

I honestly never had a problem playing the "faulty" disc.
