Sony Black Crush on late-2014 / early-2015 BDs

Maybe it's time to send another one too about this title, at least to ask if they will release a new disc in Europe..
I want this so much!

I hope whoever sends emails, doesn't forget this movie too, and the others of course, and focus only on The Interview and Fury.

I have definitely reminded them of all the affected titles, but I do think, realistically, we may only get the recent titles fixed. I'd love to have the catalog titles fixed too, MBFW is one of my favorite films.

It sucks having to choose between watching the ancient UK MBFW BD and the gorgeous but crushed 4K remastered US disc.

When I saw Extremis's e-mail, I dunno why, but this song popped into my head.

The BD matches the DVD:

Well, they got back to me with a standard reply making it seem like it was just my disc and asking me typical questions. Oh well, at least they got another notice about it.

I can think of more unlikely scenarios.

I sent in an email about an hour ago.
No response.
Though I am not expecting one until at least tomorrow, at the earliest, if ever...

They'll probably silently fix this in future pressings. It's happened many times before, just recently discovered it happened with AVP2. The question is will any of these movies need further pressings.

I wish folks wouldn't use shorthand that’s only clear to them. I'm sure it'll be obvious but past a linked response, it just becomes lost. Take the time to type it out for people who haven’t memorized the thread. filmmusic has used “MBFW” several times and I don’t have a clue - even after looking through this entire page. Is it “Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week”? ‘Cause that’s what Google got me.

Always read the OP of a thread.

Good idea, wish I'd thought of it - but who remembers that there was a list of films in the OP (obviously not me).

I had no idea either. After reading a few pages, I tried the OP and saw it is for the ugly land-whale wedding...

Not sure what you mean. Every new version now should be fixed.

Exactly how many titles were affected and what were all of them? I apologize but I couldnt find a list unless I totally overlooked it.

When did they replace them?

I can't remember when I bought my set with the outer box...
So, I don't know if I have a corrected one or not.

Ugly Land-Whale Wedding? But that's ULWW, that's not MBFW. ... ... Wait, the only fat women in that are the grandmothers, right?

Are you referring to firmware compatibility issues?

Don't know, never saw it, only, reluctantly, the trailer, before it first came out.

Looks like I will be ordering the DE release of Fury then.

New versions say "v2" on the disc, so you can check. They just fixed an issue where some of the unrated scenes didn't play when you chose the unrated version.
