The initial batch of discs are faulty hence the recall.

thanks. this could become rare with the replacement disc on the outside of a sealed steelbook

 

[Moony]

Well, I can then watch it and keep the steelbook sealed.

However, I'm still waiting for it.

 

[Sigill]

yeah well thats just what there going to have to do now lol, open all those ones up to change a disk , probably find half a sandwich inside your steelbook when you open it lol

At least they have acknowledged the issue. I'm hoping it will be less than 2 weeks and they just say that as a worst case scenario.

This release has had some bad karma from the conversation of the lack of lossless audio and now this!

FYI I emailed Lionsgate last night and got two very prompt responses this morning. They're recalling all the discs and sending new ones out to customers ASAP. I just had to send along my order confirmation email and address.

Hey who did you email? I emailed [email protected] yesterday and haven't had a reply yet.

You shouldn't need to email anyone now. HMV should email you about the replacement disc.

They have now but I was miffed that I had no reply. I am rather annoyed Lionsgate knew about this issue before retail release!

i emailed these guys first - [email protected] and was told ill get a disk from them but a bit later hmv said there sending me one too.

 

[cooey]

2 weeks or, at least they are sorting it

 

[seether254]

So the recall was for the audio issues?

Just saw that recall email and had no clue what was going on. Does this mean we have to send the discs back or what?

Was in my local HMV store few hours ago where regular amaray and Steels were on sale side by side. I asked one the store managers if they were aware of defect and he said they hadn't been advised of a recall.

 

[sunnyx]

Just had email to say they are sending free replacement discs

 

[CaptainCoffee]

2 weeks wait though.

Why should this affect rarity? If they recall the steel they will just swap the discs and put them back on the shelves?

some people have already got there copy so these people won't be getting any disc swapped they will be getting the extra disc on the outside to go along with the sealed steelbook. thats rare
