Bond Collection Problems? - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

Fergasun · 08-09-2001, 06:38 PM

I recently purchased the Bond Collection (all 3 of the box sets... came out to about 17 dollars each, not bad considering the first wave is hard to find?), and remember reading that some of the discs were flawed in some manner when they first came out. Does anyone remember or recall the problems? Maybe it was something little, but I seem to think it was a big thing.

Octopussy and The Living Daylights are missing burned-in title cards.

My copy of Dr. No locks up on the layer switch, but that seems to be just my problem.

I heard that on some of The Man With The Golden Gun DVD's it locks up at about the halfway point, but mine was fine. MGM had some info on thier website. If you got problems they will replace them.

For people still interested, Costco (at least here in Sacramento,ca) have the individual titles marked at $9.98. Terrific deal.

Between the three stores they have a good selection of titles too. I don't know if you could get all of them, but it would be a good start.

I didn't look thru very carefully as I already have all of them.

Yes,
Man With the Golden Gun did have problems.
I called MGM and I send them my copy they replaced it with a new copy with the problem fixed.

Sorry, ESC, these are not the corrected titles. They are just left overs from their original shipment.
