Incompetence.

They didn't to my knowledge. The box set always had the correct mono audio. It's the standalone disc that had the wrong track (like this UHD).

For people having problems playing this or other discs, this from the Oppo FAQ that you can try. Worked on the few 4K discs I used it on.
“Immaculate discs may have invisible films from manufacturing that will interfere with playback. UHD discs are even more sensitve to films, dust, and fingerprints than Blu-ray. This is what I do: Put the disc in a sink, label side down, data side up. Run hot tap water over it for a minute or more. Lightly sponge the data side with dish soap. Work radially, from the center to the edge. Never rub an optical disc in a circular motion around the hub. Give it a good long rinse with hot water. Dry with a soft cloth. Use paper towels. The coating on Blu-ray and UHD is pretty tough, but treat it gently.”

I highly doubt there is a replacement program, especially this quickly.

Interesting that this dosent come with a digital code. Not complaining, just don't see that very often these days.

Yeah, I won't be putting my discs under a hot running faucet anytime soon.

OK, that's what I thought, as the track always seemed fine to me in my 10 disc set. The context of the post made me think I missed something.

The color red seemed a lot more prominent(stripes on jackets.. etc) I will probably sit down and watch the whole thing this weekend.

I went ahead and ordered a replacement copy. Maybe I shouldn't have.

I just wonder if it's the disc or Xbox. I haven't been able to get mine to play at all after several re-inserts, reboots, etc.

Yeah, I meant the 35th Anniversary release had the wrong mono, so Scream Factory corrected the mistake and made sure the correct mono was on the 10-disc and 15-disc box sets.

[Show spoiler]

I was really happy with the night times scenes in general.
A noticeable improvement to the blu-ray

Looking at that list of gear in the signature I don't think he/she worrying much about having to replace a couple discs... We're not all so blessed to 'treat' our physical media like that

It depends on your hot tap. If you're water is heated with an immersion, then you're going to be pouring boiling water over plastic for a minute. I wouldn't recommend that! But warm water and a bit of Fairy or Dawn will clean the slime off. Dab lightly with a tissue to dry (or you'll be replacing
disc slime with soap spots). Paper towels might be too abrasive.

Yeah...no, would never do that.

Any issues I've ever had were always solved by a good microfiber cloth and nothing else.

Amazon jacked the price up. The only Target near me is a lame target express and isn't carrying it. grr......

[Noremac Mij]

Out of the thousands of LPs, CDs, LDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, and UHDs I owned over the past three decades, not one single new disc ever had any slime, film, or grime on it. Not one single disc.
