Wrong discs in "Incredible Hulk" Blu-ray

Blu-News · 10-16-2008, 08:24 PM

Review copies were sent early last week or so, I forgot which day it arrived, and they are fine. I don't see how they could mess those up if earlier copies are fine...

Second Marvel movie Recalled in a month.

I have no idea, I live in Canada, wonder if that is a possibility to this whole mess??

I have a copy that was shipped early to me by the retailer I pre-ordered with. The disc label was definitely for the new Incredible Hulk movie, not 2003's Hulk. I have not played the disc yet - I will do so when I return from work today to verify that it is in fact the 2008 movie.

Very curious about this - I hope someone is able to post why the recall was instituted, and how to tell if you have a "bad" disc (if the recall isn't just because some batches got the 2003 Hulk - I think it'd be easy to tell which is which in that case!).

Maybe there will be a "confirmation" of some sort, but THAT thread @ AVS does NOT confirm anything.

Yeah, I hope that is the only issue, I even hope that maybe they were just mis-labeled by accident with the original disc art but the movie itself is actually the incredible hulk???

This is reliable ..all of the other boys posting @ AVS is just a lot of speculation at this point.

I'll post pics soon just to show you guys this weird issue. Two Marvel movies, two potential problems. They better get it together soon.

I am not doubting your post, but maybe it is an isolated issue...We will see, makes for an interesting read here tonight.

maybe its marvels revenge on the people who hated the 2003 movie. I am one of the few that liked the 2003 movie better then the 2008 version.. I find this to be very funny if true. I own the 2003 on bluray. I will probably just rent the reboot version to see the deleted scenes.

That's not true at all. Check the first two posts in that thread. Both reliable sources.

We got an official memo (complete with Universal letterhead) telling us that the discs were recalled, and that we need to send them back, and it said that another memo would follow to give us info about when the corrected discs would arrive.

LOL!! It's all part of Ang Lee's wicked plan.

Blu-News · 10-16-2008, 08:51 PM

Really doesn't make sense, if review copies are fine then how could the others be wrong? It's not like they make them on a separate line. I could see it being some very small issue, but nothing major.

neo_reloaded · 10-16-2008, 08:54 PM

I wonder if a certain batch has the 2003 film, and only retailers who received shipments from that batch are getting the recall notice? I really wish this was all clear so we could know what was going on.

It will become more clear before long, but this information is just now coming in.

yes this has happened in canada too. DVD Mansion in markham had his incredible hulks for sale last week and then he sent out a note to return and sure enough it was the original HULK inside

SkottDMD · 10-16-2008, 09:01 PM

I know of at least one other retailer who had this issue with their initial shipment. I'm not sure if all the copies were wrong as they had copies to exchange if someone got the wrong one in the case. I wouldn't say it's widespread but considering two places in separate provinces have had an issue I wouldn't say it's exactly isolated.

neo_reloaded · 10-16-2008, 09:02 PM

Any reports of this in the US? So far it seems like all Canadian retailers who received the bum discs.

dvd_mazter · 10-16-2008, 09:28 PM

Here are a couple of photos, I only could bring one home but all three were excatly like this.
