Titanic 4K UHD (1997)

[jmbgator]

Question- Do the newer versions of the Titanic 4K blu-ray that the stores are carrying contain the updated replacement disc version? For example, If I buy the 4K disc on either Walmart or Amazon will the corrected disc be there, or will I have to request a replacement after purchase? I'm in the USA

AKAIK There’s been no confirmation of corrected discs being available thru retailers.

Can anyone with the CE set who successfully received a replacement disc confirm if it’s black or came with artwork?

I can confirm that I have originally purchased the CE with the disc art of the Titanic ship mooring at day, I requested a disc replacement and gave the correct barcode number for the CE edition.
Unfortunately the replacement disc is the black disc art
Great that I got the replacement disc but it doesn't match when put into the cardboard sleeves.
Lucky they didn't request to send original disc back

Not sure if this point has come up yet:

Am in the UK. Previously, like all outside the US and Canada, I'd got the stock response that replacement discs from Paramount would not be made available as Titanic is distributed in the ROW by Disney - who aren't replacing discs.
Anyways, a few weeks ago I got a message my replacement application had been approved, and a few days ago I got the white card envelope from Paramount US with a replacement disc. Thanks Paramount for coming through eventually.

Not surprising but thanks for the confirmation. I am still waiting for my replacement. Maybe it’s time to submit another request.

I submitted a request almost 2 months ago and got no response. sent another request last week and already got a response requesting some basic information and I already sent it back in. I suspect my replacement disc is finally in the system to be shipped out.

For what it's worth i got my replacement disc in about 7-8 business days from when i submitted the online request.. no proof of purchase was needed. thanks to this board, i had no idea there was an issue.

I apologize for asking, but this is a long thread and I don't know where in it I can find the link to request a replacement disk. Anyone mind sharing it again?

Is it possible to discern the disc revision through the ring code?

It took two weeks for my replacement disc to arrive after I submitted the online form. Again, was completely unaware there was a disc replacement program in play until I checked this thread (I bought my copy during Prime Day).

When they emailed me back with a follow-up, I did send them both a screenshot of my Amazon receipt and a photo of the release in my possession. No questions were asked after that. I got the tracking number through USPS Informed Delivery before Paramount informed me the disc was mailed out.

Here you go:

https://phe-physical-consumer-support.imoxiemedia.com/

Select issue type “Other,” format “UHD,” put “Titanic 4K Ultra HD” in the title field, and in the brief description box add “Replacement Disc.”

Make sure to include proof of purchase and a photo of the product number (located under the barcode in the back cover), if they ask you that.

You can always keep the original Blu-Ray.
Maybe put the replacement one in a paper sleeve, and stick it inside the booklet, along the other bonus stuff.

I don't have the CE, but yeah.
Kinda sucks that they printed thousands of European/UK discs with the boat artwork, but only a few for the US CE box.
Not sure why Paramount uses dull artwork (black/blue/grey) for its discs releases, tbh.

I think they should've just used the boat artwork even for the US release.

At least Paramount doesn’t require you to mail them the disc or a picture of the disc snapped in half like Criterion did for Citizen Kane

I found this earlier in the thread:

58388226/NA152771UVR1 DO 26
583 88 249/NA152771UVR1 D 23

The codes on my original disc are just slightly different, from outside to inside:
58388225/NA152771UVR1 D 24
58388226/NA152771UVR1 DO 22
58388249/NA152771UVR1 D 23

These are the codes on my replacement disc, again from outside to inside:
58426341/NA152771UVR2 D 21
58426342/NA152771UVR2 DO 22
58426343/NA152771UVR2 D 23

The key differences are in the initial eight digits (583882xx vs. 584263xx) and the number after UVR (1 vs. 2). The last two digits appear to be for specific molds and are irrelevant.

Replacements discs have the code ending with UVR2.
UVR1 is for the original pressing.

Just as an info: I ordered from Amazon USA a week ago, and received the fixed version. I just checked the discs. There also was a new yellow UPC sticker on the back of the case.

So they finally put out the "fixed" discs?
Good to hear, specially for those who are stuck with the Disney/Fox versions (which I hope they will eventually "fix", sometime, but I wouldn't hold my breath), or haven't received an answer from Paramount.

Exactly what they did with Saving Private Ryan. I've been holding off for a bit but I might finally pull the trigger on this. Glad they getting the fixed disc out there!

Paramount did that for the Star Trek II replacement. Excellent!
