My parents bought a Lionel Richie blu-ray dvd in hmv hongkong. When we tested it back home, it only had the commericials at the beginning. The main menu was not there. Is that even possible? What do i do with it?

Did a little research...
when did you buy it? - the only Lionel Richie Blu-ray is "Lionel Richie - Live in Paris" blu-ray released 5 days ago on 11/24/08 according to dvdsource.co.uk & zavvi.co.uk. BUT its not officially listed even on his website or amazon.com or amazon.co.uk. plus only the DVD versions of "Live in Paris" and "The Collection" are listed on Universal Music's website. Plus I've noticed that the bar code for the blu-ray is the exact same number as the DVD version. So I think everyone is right, you got a pirated version of the dvd. Did you try it in a regular DVD player?

They bought it in HMV, Hong Kong. It's a place where they really sell original stuff. They bought it last November 28. It didn't say live in paris though. It's "Lionel Richie Live - His Greatest Hits and More". I really don't think it's pirated because inside, it contained the little booklet and the blu-ray ad. Is it possible to have defective original blu-ray dvds? Aren't they supposed to be well processed first before they get released? Hmff.
