You guys amaze me. You hear a vague, second-hand bit of information from a user who registered less than two weeks ago, and you take it as gospel.
There is absolutely NO reason to even begin to give this info any sort of credibility. Hardly even worth replying to (yes I see the irony here).

Re: Schindler's List to be recalled...
Yep, sounds true to me, if you look at these important parts of his original post.
His friend is very, very, very (3 very's) high up as Universal, thats good enough for me.
The director of Schindlers list was "Spieldberg" and they released the movie on recyclyed cardboard.
Sounds like a recall to me.
Oh and I can't forget about our 11 year wait for a format thats been around since '96.
I have the disk and I'm happy with it, just like my really, truely recalled Ed Wood SE disk.

"Schindler's List" posts are getting ridiculous. If there is a mess up, a recall is justified. As for me, my disc is fine, no errors and the packaging is nice, so I'll keep it. IMO its the first Universal in a while that doesn't blow one.

This will not only be a huge dissapointment to us movie fans but a disgrace to Universal. We waited 11 years for this DVD to come out which is absolutely ridiculous and it turns out to be cheap piece of plastic in a cheap piece of cardboard for what is one of the best movies ever filmed. Universal should just sell their whole f@cking company to another that knows what they are doing. And Spieldberg is supposed to be all technologically advanced and all in to knowing his shit, yet he provides us with a movie 11 years late on a dvd format of the early 90's (flipper to say the least) with recycled cardboard probably from the 40's (WWII era). Give ma freakin' break.

Secondly, are you saying that you've been sitting and waiting for Schindler's List to come out on DVD since 1993, when the DVD format was just a glimmer in some engineer's eye? No offense man, but that's kinda sad. That's like not buying any DVDs and waiting for Star Wars to be released on HDDVD.

From: You have moved into a dark place. It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
Most of you stole my replies as I was reading this thread.
My first instinct when I read the OP's post was "Danol?"
Then I thought - well, regardless of whether this is true or not, Universal still sucks.
Then I called bullshit.
The packaging does suck, but they're not going to do a recall for that.
And yes, some players have had trouble with this release - so what's likely is that they'll offer replacement discs to those affected, like they have for numerous other releases.
My other response was "Ah yes, I recall Schindler's List on DVD... it's as though it were only a week ago..."
