RECALL: Walkabout (Criterion BD)

I know it's in the Criterion thread but I know it probably will get lost in the fold somewhere.

We have been alerted to a manufacturing problem with our Walkabout Blu-ray edition that occurs on a limited number of players. The affected players are:

Sony BDP-350 and BDP-360
Pioneer BDP-05FD and BDP-120
Sharp BD-HP22U, BD-HP21U, and BD-HP20U
Memorex MVBD2520
Insignia NS-2BRDVD

The disc will not load in the Insignia and Memorex players, and with the others, about fifty minutes into the feature, the audio and video begin to skip and stutter. We are working with the pressing plant to resolve this issue as soon as possible. If you have our Walkabout Blu-ray disc and own one of these players, please e-mail Jon Mulvaney so that we can notify you as soon as replacement copies become available.

I dont know if im in the minority on this one or not, but I'm getting really sick of all these problems on recent blu rays. Saving Private Ryan, The Wolfman and Walkabout all within like 3 weeks. This really makes me wanna hold off on any first day purchases from now on.

Whew! I've got an S-350 but hadn't gotten around to buying this yet. Guess I'll hold off.

Hmmm... I've got an Insignia NS-WBRDVD which is basically the 2BRDVD, but wireless. I wonder if that's affected too?

Quality control costs money, and studios have cut down to the bare bone any expense they can get away with. I would expect problems like this to continue.

It's amazing how inept the QA teams for these disc manufacturers are.
