Scream Factory Army Of Darkness Collectiors Edition Coming

We can at least see that the transfers are decent-looking, which is something. IDK what they were thinking shipping the first disc that way, they should have the same studio cut master used on the Screwhead Ed.

Have they even said was that're causing them to do a disc replacement program?   Is it specifically the missing scene on the theatrical or is it the playback issues with the TV cut?

A comment on Amazon: "For those who were less than pleased with the problematic Screwhead Edition from Universal, most if not quite all of the issues with that version have been addressed on this new release, but there is at least one new anomaly on one of the versions in this set which Shout! has commendably been quick to address. That (admittedly) small glitch occurs at circa 28:00 in the Theatrical Version, where a second or two of footage of Ash jumping over a small stone wall is missing, between Ash tumbling down a hill and a wide shot of him running panicked toward a windmill, leading to a very brief audio sync issue. Shout! has already announced that replacement discs alleviating this issue will be in the pipeline and delivered to consumers in November. (You can see the missing snippet at circa 29:53 in the Director's Cut and at circa 30:05 in the International Cut.)"


Note that the price of the dvd dropped from 30+ dollars to 17.99 on Amazon recently. I'm glad I didn't order it yet, and will likely stick with my trusty Boomstick Edition. Looks like they might just be content with shipping what they have with errors, and dealing with the problem afterward... or they are getting a lot of people complaining. The odd comment "You wouldn't notice it unless you know the movie frame by frame" is strange.

I guess they won't replace the 3nd disc, maybe no one complain enough 
about the tv cut?

I really should stick with dvds.
 
IMOHO I think it's still worth the upgrade - just wait til November and buy it cheaper during the Christmas rush, when they should have the corrected disc in the pack.
 
I will probably do that.

I might need to get a region free Blu-Ray player mind you as my PS3 is locked to UK/Eurpoe, (I was thinking region 2, but that's for DVDs. I think Blu-Raybox system is different). But they're pretty cheap nowadays.
 
It will take not that long for the first edition (defective) set to be scarce and sought after by collectors :)
