I just got mine today. They left me a voice mail weeks ago asking for my model etc. I didn't call them back either and still received the widescreen disk.

However the case was fucking wrecked (was delivered by UPS)

I got mine yesterday through UPS. It is the full DVD with the case and cover. I did not expect that. I have not had a chance to watch it yet to see if it does the same thing.

Got mine (Chicago). Didnt watch it yet, yet the disc looks fine. I actually never noticed any issues on my original ANH, yet got the replacement just in case. Will compare them this weekend.

I got mine yesterday. I never called back to tell them which DVD player I had. I did call them back to make sure they would send WS though.

I got mine and started watching it with commentary. Unfortunately, the disc freezes up at the beginning of the movie.

can you attribute to disc or could it be hardware?

I'm not sure yet. I haven't tried it on another player, but I took it out and cleaned it and it still happened.

Mine was ripped open and case was a little damaged (UPS sucks). But seems to play fine which is what really matters.

they fixed my probs. I had some audio and video skips when the empire destroys leia's home planet. And when obi won senses a disturbance in the force. It plays fine now.

Although one of the tabs was broken that holds the dvd, luckily it didn;t come loose.

Mine came yesterday...in 15 pieces.

I called and left a message with Fox about it, but I doubt I will hear back.

Everybody who received a damaged disc should call!

Got mine yesterday...box was kind of smashed, but the disc seems to be in okay condition. Haven't had a chance to watch it yet, though.

It came UPS wrapped in that white on the outside/metalic on the inside plastic-like rainproof wrap they use. Guess FOX is too cheap to use BOXES!

Got mine yesterday. Wasn't holding my breath that the layer change problem would actually be fixed, but it was. Thanks for making things right Fox!

Have any of the "creative" music changes been changed?

I got mine last night via UPS. Seems like a waste to send a replacement via UPS, but whatever. I hadn't watched/noticed the problems with the first, but cheers to fox for fixing this and making it relatively easy on the customer.

For the 900th time, the film has not been changed in any way. This new disc only addresses the potential lockup problem that occurs at the layer change point. THAT IS ALL.
