I'm glad to hear of it. From the sources I have at Universal, they were going to wait until all stocks of version 1 were depleted from retailers before issuing new sets. That was going to take a long time, and I periodically check sets in stores for the telling v2 mark (or whatever it is), but have not seen it.
I wouldn't call making customers call and wait for a replacement going "out of their way." Perhaps this was fine for the first batch of discs erroneously issued, but a recall should have been made soon afterwards. Yes, that would cost lots and lots of money. So?
Leaving the defective discs on shelves for years is not a proper solution in my book. But thanks for the info ... I'll keep an eye out for the revised discs in stores.
I hate to make assumptions, so what are the odds that Warner Brothers will simply leave the defective Superman discs on the shelves and leave it up to only the most saavy of consumers to request what is theirs by right of purchase?
