dude Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 Went by Gramo and asked about the R1 of the Superman boxset. Was told that Superman 3 disc had problems. Anyone know if this is true, and also why no R1 to be found in the shops?
HomeMovie Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 never heard of that yet. But i saw it last night in VivoCity MJ.
yellowhandman Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 go to www.thedigitalbits.com and check the details. one of the problems is that the superman 3 disc is the one from the previous version that was released, not the new one with all the bonus features. they are having a trade-in replacement program in the US. basically, don't buy this set until they fix this. i think there's also another problem, but i can't remember what it was.
dude Posted December 9, 2006 Author Posted December 9, 2006 thanks for the link. Does anyone know how to identify the different batches?
Deimos Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 go to www.thedigitalbits.com and check the details. one of the problems is that the superman 3 disc is the one from the previous version that was released, not the new one with all the bonus features. they are having a trade-in replacement program in the US. basically, don't buy this set until they fix this. i think there's also another problem, but i can't remember what it was. the trade in program is in place for US residents, the other problem is the sound track as stated below : Those of you who have pre-ordered copies of Warner Home Video's forthcoming Superman: Ultimate Collector's Edition might want to think twice. Due to a massive technical blunder, the Superman III: Deluxe Edition discs contain the original 2001 release of the film, rather than the advertised disc with commentary, additional scenes and a vintage featurette. Reports indicate that The Christopher Reeve Superman Collection and the individual release of Superman III: Deluxe Edition are unaffected. At this time there has been no word on whether or not Warner intend to issue replacement discs. Even if replacement discs are made available, non-US residents who purchased the set will most likely be left out in the cold. When you combine this with the fact that the advertised original 1978 Dolby Stereo soundtrack for Superman: The Movie is also missing, what could have been the year's best release becomes a less than attractive proposition... from http://www.dvdactive.com/news/releases/super-blunder.html
sonofdbn Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 That's what happens when you get your source material from BT. ;D
armoury Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 My understanding is that online retailers have suspended deliveries of the box until everything is fixed, so it should be reasonably safe to order from them, and you should get corrected discs.
