Default HD DVD in my Harry Potter boxset

So I bought the boxset and I'm looking through it when I get home, and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is on HD-DVD! What the hell? Anyone else run into this? I've heard of people running into the same thing with the Planet Earth series. I'm sad

So random!!! That would suck, but at least you can return it. I am off to the store to get the big box set and hope I don't run into the same thing. In one of my seasons of The Simpsons, I ended up with 2 of the same discs, it was pretty funny. I was watching the show and thought I grabbed the wrong disc so I looked in the case to see the exact same disc I was watching. Very odd feeling for a moment...

Exactly! In fact, I'd put it in something (do you have a lead box) to keep it away from your Blu-ray discs.

That may not be good enough.... he has probably touched the disc with his hands....

Wrap your hands in a plastic bag and call 911. Be sure not to touch anyone with the infected HD-DVD hand. God help you...

This reminds me of the movie Monsters, Inc when they find the sock on the back of that monster and the "cleaning" crew arrives, lol

It seems this wasn't an isolated incident... at least 3 people already with the same issue... someone at Warner needs firing. I think I'll open my box set at the store when I buy it just to be sure.

And it may not have been an accident! I mean, how could this happen? They aren't even manufactured in the same location, are they?

Further, I wonder if this will give Warner yet another reason to pick a side quickly? If this is a major problem and they need to recall thousands of sets, I'll bet they move quickly.

yes I just did if you look above on a previous post of mine in this thread. I ordered the whole set individually instead of the gift set and I received The Order of Phoenix on Hd-Dvd instead of the blu-ray.

Hadn't heard about the mix-up. Are they shipping some Blu-ray boxsets with HD DVD discs? That would suck. I promised my wife I would wait until I got home tonight before opening up the set, so I'll have to wait until then.

This would NEVER happen is Warner was Blu-Ray only
Let this be a lesson to them --> It's time to go Blu

P.S. Make sure you scratch the HD DUD discs so they can't be resold or re-used by anyone
