Especially on Amazon where they never heard of a replacement/recall they couldn't ignore.

Just picked this up today, so now I need to send off for the replacement. All I do is send my shipping address and a copy of the receipt (or a picture of the disc as proof) to this email - USHEConsumerRelations@visionmediamgmt.com - correct?

Watched the 60th anniversary BD last night. I said I wouldn’t buy it because of the audio issue, but I couldn’t wait. Psycho, is such a classic film - and this disc has great extras!

Started with the ‘uncut’ version first. It’s a little strange that
[Show spoiler]Arbogast, now doesn’t start screaming until the third strike.


[Show spoiler]A lovely (but tragic) overhead butt shot of dead/dying Marion, slumped over the bathtub, sadly didn’t make the final edit.

For Aussies who bought the local release, I received a response today...

Quote:
Universal Sony Pictures Australia has advised they have not followed what the USA has released.

Australia has their own Blu Ray release with their own Blu Ray disc.
Nonsensical response seeing that this is identical in every way to the disc released internationally.

Are we supposed to receive any kind of "confirmation" that our email was received? I sent my replacement disc request over the weekend and haven't heard back yet (I'm sure whoever monitors it is busy), so I was just wondering.

I've sent 3 in the past month and I haven't gotten any response. I'm really hoping we don't need one for them to ship them to us.

I also sent an email to that address, with an attached scan of the discs and the receipt
from amazon. I also listed the hub numbers. I asked them to please acknowledge my
email but they have not responded. Yet.

Been a week now since I sent my email and still no reply. I don't want to flood them so I guess I'll wait until we actually start hearing that people are getting the replacements and try again then.

Hitchcock was a master of the overhead butt shot.

I sent an email on September 22nd at 2:30p and roughly an hour later received an automatic response which states:

Quote:
Dear Customer,

Thank you for letting us know your address. A replacement copy will be sent to you within 2-4 weeks.

We value your satisfaction with our products and hope that you will enjoy this and future Universal releases.

Sincerely,
Consumer Relations
UNIVERSAL PICTURES HOME ENTERTAINMENT
And well, 2-4 weeks from 9/22 would be anywhere between October 6-20.

Would someone be willing to give me a brief summary of this audio issue everyone’s talking about getting replacement discs for?

...is it even worth it to buy the steenbok before a reprint gets circulated?

The original mono audio track was inadvertently left off the disc during the manufacturing process.

Is that particular audio issue on that scene present on the earlier German blu ray too I wonder?

How does the film sound without it?

...was the mono on the previous Blu-ray release?

I haven't watched the new blu-ray release yet, I'm waiting for the replacement disc so I can watch the movie with the mono track. I believe the mono track was on the earlier release.

Does it really make that much of a difference?

Don’t know.
[Show spoiler]A YouTube video with comparison clips between the German TV and US versions has the fixed audio. Arbogast cries out after the first stab to his chest in the longer German television cut.

He screams on the first stabbing on the German Blu-ray's English mono track.
