    I've just checked mine. They are fine, except for the Continu/ation bluray, which had a huge bubble from day one and never played proplerly (I got a refund from Amazon for this issue).
    Each time I look at The Early Years I can't help thinking "one of the most overpriced releases ever".

    If you buy The Later Years I bet it will take its place

    You're absolutely right. Outrageous, and that's the main reason I'm not going to buy it.

    Part of me thinks flood him so that the extent of the problem is fully appreciated but having one representative of the forum staying in contact would surely suffice as long as it's communicated that this is not an isolated issue and every set sold could be affected either now or later.

    The Super Deluxe Edition website is often a good place for such matters and if somebody can get Paul over there made aware so he can get the word about it may help put some pressure on a prompt official response and resolution.

    His email has been shared on Yeeshkul! as well as here..... He might be getting quite a few. I would let Kevin liaise providing he doesn't mind.

    I got the exact same answer. Fingers crossed some will happen.

    Does anyone know of any reported problems related with "Endless River" or Gilmour's "Pompei" or "Rattle that lock" Blu-Rays?

    I'm terrified to go look at them.

    Just checked mine.
    Bubbling round the edges of all the discs, and bronze patches on a couple.

    Mine are still fine, fingers crossed. Although I'll be fine (dvd guy), I think it's a bloody shame this is happening.

    I noticed The Early Years Box is still on sale on the Amazon website, so hopefully there's still time for a replacement program for defective discs.

    I doubt it. We’ll have to hit everyone at warner corp if Paul doesn’t come through. If I find the discs are having the same issue. I’m going after all of them. When I get home from vacation that is. I might just bypass Paul and go straight to Chiefs

    Is just the big box affected? I bought the individual books and checked my blurays. They all look fine. I only opened them and started watching them about 6 months ago but have owned them for a couple years.

    Finally got around to checking my discs (I have the big box but bought it months after the initial rush). Nothing visually wrong with any of them and the first three blu-ray discs play normally.

    I have to admit though, even with their presently ok state, my confidence in the longevity of these discs is a bit shaken given what others have experienced. It'd be nice if it could be honestly determined that this was isolated to specific "batches" of discs, but I have a hard time imagining that something like that could be taken at face value. That being the case, I guess the only real solution would be to replace the lot for everyone who has any of these sets - ideally with discs that aren't at risk of deteriorating in a handful of years.

    Dr Floyd said the only cure for the Infest/ation is a shot of Peni/cillin.

  19. Yes, generally any problems with the protective chemical coating were thoroughly solved by 2008 or 2009. There were other common Blu-ray manufacturing anomalies but none applicable to this situation.

    Blu-rays fail in different ways from DVDs and CDs.

    It looks to me like the peeling effect has not been completely or permanently solved unfortunately.

    Rushed home. Washed my hands, first thing I did was to check my Early Years box.
    To my horror, my discs were also peeling off. Bubbles everywhere. Dramatis/ation 1969 suffers most from this symptom.
    I'm never, ever going to trust PF records with my hard earned money again, not before they make this right.

    The 1971 and 1972 discs in my set are most affected. The others show no signs of deterioration (yet).

    Hmmm, every time I try to install and run MakeMkV it says it's too old or enter a registration key. I thought it was free?
