Bizarre that Amazon still doesn't have Abyss, True Lies and Aliens up for preorder.
I wonder if it's one of their many battles with Disney. |

The audio errors will be fixed for the UHD release. I didn't know the film had any audio errors, but nice to see them corrected.
https://thedigitalbits.com/columns/m...r5lYsbdAoqzQk4 "If you’re a longtime fan of The Abyss, and you’re familiar with the Special Edition version of the film on LaserDisc and DVD, you’ll know that the DVD release included audio errors in its dialogue and music (in the SE’s Dolby Digital 5.1 mix only—the 2.0 track was okay) that were introduced by seamless branching. At about 16:38 into the Theatrical Cut, Bud asks Lindsey, “So what are you doing down here, Hotrod?” But in the Special Edition, this dialogue is slightly different. At 20:36, Bud says, “You know, I can’t believe you were dumb enough to come down here and now you’re stuck here for the storm. That was dumb, Hotrod. Real dumb.” To which Lindsey replies, “I didn’t come down here to fight with you.” And that causes Bud to say, “Yeah, well… then why did you come down?” Except that in the DVD version of the Special Edition via seamless branching, that last line “Yeah, well… then why did you come down?” was actually replaced by his line from the Theatrical Cut: “So what are you doing down here, Hotrod?” It was an awkward conversational turn, made all the more weird because you could see that Bud was still mouthing his SE line. And near the end of the Special Edition, at about 2:39:22 in the 5.1 mix, there was an odd shift in the tone of the score caused by the branching as well. Again, these were errors introduced in the DVD authoring process, and they’re something that the folks at 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment always meant to correct when they released the film on Blu-ray. Except that never happened… and then Fox got purchased by Disney, all the Fox Home Entertainment people got laid off, and nobody at Disney had any awareness of the audio errors. So when the production team at the mastering and authoring vendor working on the new 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray release of the film finished the new Special Edition presentation last year, they used the DVD branching as a guide... and these same audio errors crept into the new Atmos mix on the 4K SE master. But here’s where the story turns positive... A sharp-eared Digital Bits reader who goes by the name of SuperDan on Twitter went to the 4K remastered Special Edition theatrical screening of the film back on December 6th. He noticed that the audio errors were still there, and messaged me privately on Twitter to alert me of it when he walked out of the theater. And the good news is, I have contacts directly involved in the 4K remastering and disc authoring work on all of these new James Cameron titles. So I was able to alert the team right away, and they flagged the errors for QC to check out. Turns out, QC did confirm the errors. And luckily, they hadn’t sent the discs off to replication yet, so they were able to pull the audio stems and correct the mix in the Special Edition master. I mention this now because, just yesterday, I received confirmation privately that the audio errors have indeed been fixed for the new physical 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray release. They should be corrected soon in the 4K Digital masters as well (the HD Digital masters were corrected long ago). Suffice it to say, The Digital Bits may have just saved Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment the headache and embarrassment of the errors not having been caught, not to mention the significant cost of a disc recall and replacement program." |

There's a lot of self-congradulatory adulation in that article (I'm sure they dislocated their shoulder patting themself in the back), but it's nice there's the audio 'fix'.
Let's all be honest, though... Disney would NOT recall the disc for that issue. No chance. |

I figure that there is an unexpected demand for these releases compared to "historical norms", especially for older catalogue title releases.
Thus, the pre-order supply is being maxed out, until there is confirmation of more copies available at some point in the future to free up more pre-order slots. I am also quite sure that anyone who didn't already pre-order their copy on these sites will recieve a new batch of releases, and they won't have slipcovers. Thank God, right? Save some trees! ![]() ![]() |
