'Saving Private Ryan' Blu-ray recalled due to audio glitch

Ugh I hate these kind of problems, they're just so annoying and waste time...

This edition might be worth money to collectors in a few years...if most everyone does the trade.

I'm always wondering..... does it really cost that much money to pay someone to view the master before duplicating it? I buy at least two buggy dvds a year, and that's because I don't buy many dvds.

I watched this film.. it was all about soldiers and war and stuff.. not what I was expecting at all :D

Recall in the Uk. details here, with a Freephone tel No. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment_and_arts/10113592.stm

No...they could go out on the street, pick a random person, and say, "Would you like to watch a movie? Popcorn is on us"

It also does not take much to test video games (just release a beta to the web and you will have 100,000 begging for a chance to test it for free)...but I don't think that they test most games...when I can go through a game 3 times, and encounter the same glitch with the same character in the same spot two of those three times, you know they didn't test very hard.

I have a solution to prevent the accidental purchase of defective DVDs...don't buy DVDs...this trick also works on BluRays and even games (at least PC, Wii, & 360 games, it is hard to pirate PS3 games if you don't have a bluray pressing plant).

agreed.. this is what I have done for 8 years .. same applies for music and software.. avoid buying buggy broken crap by not buying it at all.

I doubt it - if the mistake was the printing/artwork on the disc or some cover artwork difference then yes but a defective disc becoming a collectors' item ? I don't think so - has never ever happened before. Who wants to collect something that doesn't work properly due to an audio glitch in mastering ?

Agree... If it's a misprinted stamp that will worth something, not a defective movie disc! Of course, the case or disc art might be appealing to some collectors. However, from what i know, Private Ryan BD release is just normal as it can be (you know, there's no medal/map/bullet replicas, no canteens, no steelbook packing etc...)

Lucky me, i didn't buy the BD (the packing is not attractive enough, lol). I love the movie though.
