In Reply to: Bummer. Again, it seems the majority of them are ok, though posted by Jazz Inmate on December 20, 2007 at 17:12:43:
A lot of folks will only watch the 1st disc and save the others to watch later on as time permits or go through them slowly, one at a time over a matter of days, until they reach disc 5 & realize that there's a problem.
Some folks may have purchased this set as a christmas gift for a friend or family member & be totally unaware of the problem. Even more folks who bought sets & aren't regulars on boards like this probably haven't been informed that a problem exists.
No one can say this early on from the number of respondents in an unscientific poll how deep the problem runs. It may be a few dozen, a few hundred, or a few thousand folks who received the wrong discs; perhaps more.
I'm not saying that this is a hyper-critical problem of earth-shattering proportions for Blu-ray owners, but like global warming, for some folks this may be one more inconvenient truth to be filed away for future reference. ;0)
