how will we know which version we are buying, say in a few months, once they've HOPEFULLY been corrected? will there be a sitcker that says, "oh boy we f'd up -- this is the version to buy"??

The "Look Up in the Sky" documentary that aired on A&E runs about 90 minutes without commercials. The one that's included on this DVD runs 1 hour 50 minutes.
Also, the Superman Returns 2-disc edition is also included, so there is no way I'm passing this up for the Chris Reeve collection that's missing the Donner cut as well as Superman Returns and the Docs.

Personally though, I'm just getting the original, the Donner cut of II, and eventually Returns.

I will be buying this on Tuesday, and then-- with hope-- counting on getting the correct Superman III disc whenever Warner sets up the exchange program.
I'm not going to wait for Warner to fix this and then purchase. The Back to the Future Trilogy was reissued with corrected mattes, but the booklet included with the initial release was removed. Which is why I never bought it. I don't want to take the chance that something will be missing from this set when Warner starts to ship the rectified copies.
--THX

I'm buying this the day it comes out. I'll wait it out to see if WB sends out replacement discs or something. If not, then after Christmas I'll just buy Superman III DE and replace it, it's only like $10-$15 and it will be like a month later. I don't want to do that, but if WB doesn't send out replacement discs, then that's what I'll have to do.

I don't have too much faith on WB and their replacement program. I have yet to receive that envelope for Tom and Jerry Volume 2 in order to exchange one of the discs.
However, I will be buying the Ultimate Collection on Tuesday and decide later on what to do with the Superman III disc.

If anyone here goes to Best Buy/Target or Circuit City on Tuesday morning or afternoon please post your findings here. I don't plan to go there until after work on Tuesday, but I would love to hear if the stores were affected by this error.

At least it's only on Superman III, I would be really pissed if it affected the 4 disc Superman: The Movie or the Richard Donner Cut or if the 2nd disc of Superman Returns wasn't in there.

Of course this is dependent on the number of initial pressings but, IMO, it's better to be able to enjoy the other stuff in this huge set now and worry about the replacement disc when it arrives later.

I am happy this error was reported in a seperate thread, I NEVER would have found it otherwise. Now I will wait for the replacement program, instead of being aggrevated for having received a defected disc.
Thanks
Thanks
