They also issued replacement discs for 2001.

But I find it a little puzzling that you’re saying “knowing Roadshow, they won’t actively advertise a recall” and stating this like it’s a behaviour only attributable to them. Where would Roadshow honestly “advertise” a recall program? Should they take out a page in the local newspaper or magazines across the nation? Should they get radio stations across the country to let everyone know that there’s a replacement program? Should they track down every person in the country who bought the original discs?

Outside of places like Blu-ray.com, advertising replacement programs happens extremely little. The only people who care about replacement programs are people on forums like this, where the information is circulated in the first instance. There’s certainly no point issuing a press release to this site, it’s not an Australian site. There are no Aussie sites exclusively for home media chatter, but if there was, they would use it.

Continuing this forum’s favourite pastime of battering Roadshow is so odd when they’re very reliable in terms of replacement discs. They don’t even ask for proof of purchase or hassle you for additional details.
