Anyone else have the Terminator special edition region 2 DVD set ? (rotting disks !?)

Vogon · 1 Apr 2006 at 18:59

And if so how are your disks ?
I went to play this today and found the disks wouldn't even get recognised by any player I have.
Looking on the disk underside, they seem to be cloudy, it is under the surface as cleaning doesn't touch it.
Just wondering if its a one off or if others have come across this problem ?
I have 150 DVD's, this is the only one I thats done this that I know of ...

No, ive over 400 discs, and they all play.

Although i couldnt help with your Terminator problem, my version is Region 1.

They were doing a re-call of those disks a couple of years back, i had the same problem with mine, i will have a look around and see if i can find some info for you.

Googled and found this number - 0800 3898384
as i said it was a couple of years back so i dont know if this will still be the number to call, or if they will even swap it out now.

Any decent company shouild replace the disks if they are indeed faulty.

Number not in service now, no reply to email, just looking to see if MGM UK have a number I can find ...

Ok I eventually traced the number needed .... basically MGM is owned by Sony so I contacted them and they said it was a common problem, caused by storage conditions at the time, and to send my discs in and they will replace the discs for me

Cool

, i think i got mine back after about a week so it shouldnt take too long.

Yeah I have the same problem too. I got mine a few years back. I lent it to a friend shortly after buying it and when I got it back one of the disks was cloudy, I presumed it got into the hands of his young son, but he told me his kid never touched it.

I cleaned it with a damp cloth and it was ok. Just looked at it now and its gone cloudy again.

What storage conditions could cause that?

Had the same issue a couple years back, got it changed by the manufacturer upon sending the discs, got upgraded to an amaray case too from the previous cardboard packaging

Had this problem a year or so ago and bought a new copy, wasn't worth the hassle trying to change it for the sake of a fiver.
