I'm reading about the North American Geass DVDs on AOD and it sounds like many discs have playback problems. You can read here for more info. Mine hasn't shipped yet but hopefully when it does it'll be from a good batch. =.x

And since I'm posting here anyway, a lil update on the Geass project thingy. For all of you who sent me money, could you please PM me with your name (or nickname, though real name is probably best) and country so I can write it down when I send everything? Also, I received a letter for Fukuyama yesterday from someone in Johnson City, TN. Um, please tell me who you are on LJ? .^^; (And thanks for the crane!)

With the DVD glitches, it might mean a delay in sending the stuff so you guys just might have more time to send in your letters and stuff. .^^


EDIT: Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] cayterror, we have a response from Bandai:

After reading about the issue in the forums we have checked several copies from the batch which played fine. It should not be a widespread issue. However, most of the product have been shipped so we won't exactly know until the release date. If you are having doubts I would recommend waiting a couple days after the release date. We'll send out a press release if we find any major problems.

Regards,

support@bandai-ent.com


So I guess either it's just a bad batch or Bandai is playing ignorant. We'll find out soon enough.

Yeaah my 2nd DVD has glitches and then my manga had a printing problem where 16 pages were the same as 16 before it. >>

&I apologise for never sending the letters and stuff to you for the project, I don't think I will make it. >>

Well thats.... not cool. I've been on pins and needles waiting for this release. I was so excited for it. I guess I'm glad I didn't preorder yet. But man, that sucks.

And supposedly there are printing problems with the manga? O_o Thats.... not cool at all....

I'm afraid to even buy the boxset the day it comes out, though I really want the Limited Edition. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Oy... not again...

I'm glad I withheld my purchase until after the release date, and I'm going to hold off a bit more now because of this... I'll check out the manga at the bookstore to see if there are any problems...

I preordered mine from TRSI a month ago when they had a sale, so I don't want to cancel since I got a good deal. I had also ordered the Haruhi boxset at the same time, but since that is backordered, they haven't shipped mine yet. I'll wait and hope that by the time my ships, it'll be a from a good batch. If not, I've worked with the store's customer service before and they've always been very helpful. *want my shiny dvds!*

I assume they'll wait till the actual street date, which is Tuesday.

Oh no PLEASE not. I can only watch my DVDs on my PC...=_= *sob*
This, and since I live in Switzerland, an exchange for new DVDs would be very annoying...*begs that it's ok*

Well, if you only need to send in the Discs (and not the whole box, which would be far too expensive), I could send them to my friend in the US who could foreward them to Bandai etc. But as I said - it would be very annoying, no?^^'

Still I hope they will play fine on my Player ;_; But reading through the post in the linked forum...everyone has problems with at least one disc...

Amazon.com ;_; I don't know if I can send send back to them? (I never had such problems before so I never really looked into it *cough*) If so, I'm sure I would have to send in the whole box...I don't know if I'm able to XD It's such a pretty box after all *laughs*

Oh that's good to hear!
Sadly my DVD is already shipped but at least, thanks to you, I'm now mentally prepared for what's to come XD
I would've been devastated if I got the set and wouldn't have been able to play it. Now, I will be surprised IF it plays *laughs* But with Amazon or my US friend, I bet I can solve the issue (if there will be one).
Thanks! ^-^

Yes I read that too. But I planned to watch the whole thing anyway. (And I'll check Toward the Terra as well, it's Bandai too after all ¬_¬)

Geez, this makes me wonder...is it really that difficult to produce working DVDs? If the DVD market was new I would be a bit more understanding, but DVDs have been produced for like 10 years and more now and they still have such huge issues. Tsk! :D

(Oh yes it is! I love that series. Good that there seems nothing wrong with it ^^).

True. *points fingers to replicators now* Well, at least if they work the whole problem out quickly I think it's alright. But I guess I wont do pre-orders anymore and wait about a week after the release before I buy it to stay safe XD

I was really eager to order this...especially the LE boxset (is it really limited edition in every sense and word?). Now I don't know whether to wait or not--especially since I'm sure the price for this will go back up once it's released.

It definitely looks good, from what I've seen. Unfortunately, I missed the sale that they had going on just before. I don't buy things much--especially online, but hopefully, they'll still have it when they have another sale going on.
