BTTF Re-Release 1/25/05
Universal has announced that it's going to be re-releasing Back to the Future: The Complete Trilogy on 1/25 at the new low price of just $27.98. The good news about this is not just the price - the set will contain the V2.0 discs, featuring corrected aspect ratio versions of the films.

Much thanks for the info! I was contemplating picking this up this week at BB. I will be waiting now..........
|
Splendid... this is going on the list for the next DDD sale. :)
|
Thanks for the heads up :) I too was considering purchasing this in the next couple weeks, Now I can wait and save some money.
|
anyone heard anything about what the rumoured special edition that is rumoured to be coming out at the end of 2005 ?
cheers |
I'm glad they're finally releasing the corrected sets, they should of recalled them in the first place though.
|
Great! Wal-Mart has had these for $29.99 for a while and I always pass them up because of the aspect error. Looks like I'll get it next month!
|
How will you know the difference? If it's the same box then the remaining old versions will look the same as the new ones.
|
I read it in the bttf.com that the corrected version will say "V.2" below the UPC.
|
I can't believe that this priced so low now. Getting this set below $20 is a steal imho.
|
Great news indeed! I was holding off on buying this set until I had some money. Now I'm very glad I waited.
|
Yeah, 20-25 bucks to replace my incorrect set won't be so bad.

It's for free (including shipping) to get it replaced, why would you pay for it? I sent my discs back to Universal and they sent me the v2.0 discs back. They sent me the packaging to send them back in as well... so it was 100% free.

I sent my set back to Universal as well and received the corrected v2.0 discs back in about 9 days. I don't understand why anyone would rebuy the set if they can have the same discs as the new set for free. It really is a very easy process. There is going to be no difference between the replacement discs and the reissue in January. I also heard that some defective discs will likely make their way into the distribution stream with the rereleased versions anyway, so there is still a chance that you would have to send them back to Universal. Save yourself time and money and just replace them now. |

Universal's upcoming "OUTTA TIME" (sic) promotion tagline touts "Three Great Comedies — Two Favorite Characters — One New Low Price!", however, warns consumers to purchase the collection before it disappears — it'll be available only through Monday, June 6, 2005. The collection will apparently be placed on moratorium after that date, presumably paving the way for another collection to be issued later in the year to commemorate the series' 20th Anniversary. While no official word has yet to have been given in regards to a new collection, Universal representatives outside the U.S. have reportedly been hinting to international fans that a special edition for the first Back to the Future film is being planned for release sometime during the second half of 2005. I hate that I turned into a cynic. |
I'm with Chem and SWR 1. It was very easy, quick and FREE to get the replacements. This was almost 2 years ago!

Almost two years? Wow. Where has the time gone? So what's that phone number and address again?
|
Cheap price for a great box set. :up:
|
Yeah, maybe I could have done the mail in thing for awhile now, but I look at this way: I want any reason I can to take a DVD off my wishlist. If you'll check my link below, you'll see why. This, plus doing my part to let Universal know this is unacceptable, are why I'm waiting to pick this up.
Plus, they're not that good, but at this price they'll be good additions to my collection. |
and if they wait for HD?
|
hey! wait! there's a new special edition collection coming late 2005!...i'll wait 4 that!

Im in no rush to get this now. The excitment of BTTF on dvd has long since gone so i'll just wait for the HD version (or the new rumoured special edition)
Universal really dropped the ball on this one. |
Does anyone know if there will be any difference in disc 1 in the new set?

Because nobody payed attention the first time, I'll repeat myself:
Does anyone know if there will be any difference in disc 1 in the new set? |
No difference. This is strictly a price drop and being the V2 discs for BttF 2&3.

Good luck! Tim :-) |
Does anyone know if this is gonna be a 1-Disc or 2-Disc "Franchise Collection" release? The price seems to fit in with most of the other Franchise DVDs
|
The packaging appears the same as does the listing of the special features on retailer sites so I don't believe so.
|
Thanks for reminding me. I just called India and hopefully I will get my prepaid envelope to send them in
|
I did decide against buying the new set, so I got un-lazy and shipped my BTTF 2 and 3 yesterday. In the original replacement disc thread, there's an address to send to if you don't want to call the # and wait for a pre-paid shipping envelope to arrive. You just have to send a letter saying why you want to exchange them:
"I am exchanging these, aware that you are offering replacement discs for the incorrect aspect ratio versions of these films. How Universal can even begin to sell something like this knowingly in the mainstream, is pretty awful." So I got my two cents in, and am going to get my replacements. |
I'd like to applaud whomever at Universal finally pulled the trigger to let retailers sell the good version of this Trilogy. I refused to buy a defective product, so my waiting has finally paid off.
|
was browsing through Amazon and saw that this is already out on sale. i thought it would only be out next year ?
it also said that universal would discontinue this in Feb 05 and not June as we thought... which is the correct info ? thanks |
