Da Vinci Code / Angels & Demons / Inferno boxset Feb 2017

[malcy30]

This post relates to the recently released boxset of the Dan Brown (starring Tom Hanks) films Da Vinci Code / Angels & Demons / Inferno.



Unfortunately this is yet another release where Sony UK have screwed UK customers. So the saga continues after their recent similar issues with Bad Boys and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.


The first two films Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons were re-released last autumn in new remastered in 4K BDs to tie to the theatrical release of the 3rd film Inferno. We even saw this released here in the UK !

So we should get these in boxset
, I can't find the Angels & Demons remastered in the database here but it's listed on Amazon.co.uk

With the BD release of Inferno, Sony have also released a BD boxset of all 3 films. I carefully checked and in the US and Australia the new remastered 4K BDs of the first two films were included in their boxsets.

Now we come to here in the UK and of course I should have expected based upon their prior past record but Sony UK have NOT included the new remastered 4K BDs for the first two films instead including the many years old original BDs.

So they included the old BDs

(this is the cut down 1 disk version missing the 2nd BD of extras) and (UK only ever got the 1 disk version unlike US and some other countries)

I have been in correspondence with Sony UK using the email address in the Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon thread and they have finally washed their hands of my complaint, telling me to deal with Zoom as they won't supply me with the newer disks.

So have now asked Zoom how I arrange a refund, which I am hoping they don't say is timed out as it's now almost a month since it was released and shipped to me. Have sent them copy of Sony's email telling me to go back to Zoom.

Will if I get a refund look to buy overseas.

About the only positive with this debacle is that includes the 2nd disk of extras by default where this is a retailer exclusive I believe in US and Australia.
