Corrected discs for Bluray WEST SIDE STORY

QUOTE Okay... we've got one important bit of news to bring you today, which is that we've finally heard back from 20th Century Fox and MGM as to how you can go about exchanging your copy of West Side Story on Blu-ray for a fixed one with the corrected opening titles, and also how you'll be able to spot the fixed version "in the wild". To request a replacement copy of MGM's West Side Story Blu-ray, please call 877-369-7867 (M-F, 8 AM-5 PM PST) or email [email protected]. They'll arrange a way to make the swap. As for fixed discs in stores, there is no call out on the packaging to distinguish versions, so you'll need to check the UPC barcodes. The corrected versions carry the following codes: For the Blu-ray Single: UPC #88390424523082 For the Blu-ray Box Set: UPC #88390424521681 So there you have it. Thanks to our friends at Fox and MGM for providing the information.

The recent 50th Anniversary Bluray releases (single and box set) have (among other problems) an incorrect fade in/fade out transition (instead of a dissolve) in the title sequence. MGM has started an exchange program to replace the affected discs. For information about how to get a replacement or spot the corrected version in stores, check out the following from http://thedigitalbits.com/#mytwocents -
