It's not in stores yet?If so,maybe someone who picked up a copy in from somewhere can post them.

BTW, I received my replacement disc in the mail today. Will post about the subtitles later.

Just got my replacement disk today. I'm happy to report that subtitles are fixed. The text is smaller aswell.

How was the disk packaged? Better than the mailer used to return the old disk, I hope.

Maxflier 02-28-05 02:57 PM

None of the Best Buys or Targets i have checked had the new "V4" version.I wonder when they will get the fixed copies out to stores...

RockyMtnBri 02-28-05 03:18 PM

It had some paper wrapping and a
cardboard container.

canaryfarmer 02-28-05 03:54 PM

So they actually made the text smaller too, huh? Awesome. I was hoping they would, but I figured that they wouldn't spend the extra effort to.

laserdogg 02-28-05 04:16 PM

Got my replacement today - packaging was good, CD jewel case sized thick cardboard mailer, 2 wads of heavy packing paper and the disc was in it's own paper sleeve.

Wonder how they marked the disc itself to denote the new version? D191757V4 02 around the hole on the side read by your player. Maybe the V4?

canaryfarmer 02-28-05 09:54 PM

Got my disc today, too. The new font is a much more manageable size, as mentioned above. Thank you Dreamworks for listening.

Trigger 02-28-05 10:00 PM

So... did they recall the ones in stores? Are those going to be replaced with the new ones?

No screencaps yet? C'mon lazy butts.

canaryfarmer 02-28-05 10:29 PM

Screencap found here (on the AoD forums):

I thought it was going to be easier to wait for the stores to get the new version, but I haven't seen any of them hit yet. (Suncoast, BB, DVDPlanet) Anyone finding them in the stores ?

MikeSRC 03-01-05 12:19 AM

Got my replacement disk today as well. It was only one week after I got the e-mail saying they received the original disk. The subtitles are only slightly smaller, but they're very well done and easy to read in any scene. Kudos to Dreamworks for the fast response.

If there wasn't a recall, it'll take time for the stores to run out of inventory.

If it's anything like the Back to the Future problem, it'd be faster to buy now and send away for the replacement.

slop101 03-01-05 10:42 AM

ack...

They're still to high up in the frame - they could have easily dropped them down an entire line. Almost every other subtitled film I've seen has the subtitles at the very bottom edge of the image. Why not this one?

ShagMan 03-01-05 11:21 AM

Wow excellent, the subtitles aren't yellow anymore.

logboy 03-01-05 11:56 AM

personally i cant tell much from that one shot. how about several and comparative ones at that...

Ralph Jenkins 03-01-05 12:15 PM

Personally, I find this situation irritating. I don't want to purchase a defective copy knowing I'll have to send it back to Dreamworks. However, I haven't seen this "V4" version in a store yet. The proper thing to do would be to recall the initial pressings.

As do I, Mr. Jenkins. But I am leaning in the direction of doing just that since who knows how long it will take to get the corrected copies in the stores?

bis22 03-01-05 02:32 PM

Got mine today.

Chris Tribbey 03-01-05 02:36 PM

Still waiting ... no email confirmation either ... I think it's because I'm the one who rubbed their noses in the sh$t with my review...."that damn kid, we're not sending him his replacement copy!"

steebo777 03-01-05 05:15 PM

Received mine in the mail today. Going to watch it tonight.
