One more thought on the sale/error discussion. Quick show of hands- how many of you had heard of Gruv before? And now? Thought so. Now I get emails (with some good prices) and I have another site to check out from time to time. Worked in their favor overall, I think.

well I'd never heard of them before and I have now

BUT, now I think of them as that company that fulfilled nearly everyone else's order but cancelled mine for lack of stock when they have plenty of stock

The Australian release is all I am aware of.

I hate the fact that some people are complaining about delivery delay whereas they got it for 10$.

I have Media Mail as well.
I'm not expected to get it until Tuesday.
I'm in MO. It originated in OH. It went EAST to PA! Now, it has to come back WEST through OH!

Also, dude, I'm sorry, but man, you really need to fix your signature. It's killing me.
it is spelt: hiatus.

Any chance that this will go down below $40 by Christmas?

Black Friday perhaps, but not by much I would gather. Amazon has it at $38.

The elitism never ends. Waiting weeks after release is not cool especially if people pre-order the damn thing. Just because you are mad you didn't get a good deal doesn't mean it's cool places can do this.

If you say so. Apparently the little 'razzing' icon I put at the end of the post wasn't clear enough

That often happen, yet with recent versions of these tools, they shouldn't be there, unless the distributor did a relevant change in their discs.

The reasons can be many: a) a bug from the decryption software (A/V sync issues were found in one of them, because of the Atmos track, and it's currently being fixed), b) a single defective disc that needs to be replaced by the distributor, so the buyer had a bad luck (maybe a scratch?), or c) something less likely, yet also common, ALL buyers (or a good number) received defective discs and a recall needs to be done.

I am betting c) could be happening.

One user posted this in that forum, and I wanted to ask here if it's true:

********
A lot of people have had issues with this set.
Most people report that an extreme cleaning the of discs has resolved their issues.
Some people have had success turning the speed control off/down in the registry, although if you've never set this in the past it wont be causing an issue.
Some people have had success removing and re-applying the power to the drive whilst the computer is turned on and the disc loaded.
I had success trying a different firmware (WH16NS60 1.02) on my drive.
********

Also note I am talking about using a PC to handle UHD discs, not the usual players people here comment. Even so, user ilovedealsbaby posted in this thread:

*****
my back to the future 1 disc goes all pixeled at around 40 min any one else have this?
*****

Lysander91 replied: I had the same issue at about 48 minutes, but I cleaned the disc and it worked the second go. Disc looked spotless beforehand, so I'm crossing my fingers that it was just a spec of dust.

User nvadr also posted: Back to the Future Part II 4k disc there is some serious video glitching at 43:35 which continues until 47:09 where my UDP-203 player freezes up.

Bijouman replied: Your disc likely has a pressing defect where some pits are unreadable (the layers may be touching each other in one spot or another). Request a replacement from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.

User Indiana Jones said: Many people have experienced issues but by all accounts its not a faulty disc issue so there won't be a replacement scheme.

So what's going on here?

So my BTTF III started freezing just like II did at the same time (~48 min). Again, same thing happens with 3 of my HP 4Ks as well. Is there a layer change around this point in all of these films?

[rroeder]

I've watched the first 2 and mine played fine, thought the first one looked better definitely the best presentation of the movie since I saw it at the theater!

Odd issue on part 2 tho, I was getting a slight bit of distortion from the center speaker during the opening scene in 2015, seemed to be tied to the background music. Didn't do it any other time, pretty sure the speaker is fine.

There is nothing elitist going on here. If someone gets a 7 disc boxset on 4K UHD-BD/Blu-ray for $10 they don't have a lot of wiggle room to complain much. Even if they pre-ordered it. A deal like that is unprecedented and should be fulfilled when allowed. More than likely meaning after those who pre-ordered at full price. Why should those who paid full price have to wait on their pre-order because so many got the set at an extraordinary deal? It would be nice if all could be filled at the same time, but those paying full price shouldn't suffer because of their support. Or that they missed out on such a deal. Deals like this usually come with a caveat. Most people who take these deals know that.

[nick4Knight]

Imagine complaining about a $10 deal. We don't have to, this thread provided us with way too much vivid displays of it.

My heart goes out to you.
