Is there any truth to the following? I've looked at sets at a local store and did not see a "V2" anywhere on it. The store was a Frys and it opened only 6 months ago.

Any other knowlege about this?

-Universal announces corrected 'Back to the Future' DVD details
Source: The Digital Bits, thanks to ET20Fan
For those still waiting patiently to buy copies of the "Back to the Future Trilogy" DVDs that aren't screwed up (quick recap: Universal knowingly released the disc sets with misframed pictures and patches of slurred sound on Part II & III), Universal has sent word that new discs will be available in March.

The good thing for those who have held off buying the DVD set knowing of the errors is that Universal will be replacing retail copies. To identify the corrected copies (later in March), look for a "V2" (version 2) on the widescreen/full frame sticker.

Fans who have already bought the set will have to send their "Back to the Future Part II" and "Back to the Future Part III" discs in to Universal for replacements. Be sure to send the discs (just the two damaged discs, not the case or the first "Back to the Future" disc) along with a letter that has your name, mailing address, daytime phone number and your reason for returning the discs. Send the discs and your information to:
"Back to the Future" DVD RETURNS
PO Box 224468
Dallas, Texas 75260

Here's hoping Universal (a great studio historically) has learned from their errors on the "Back to the Future" and "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial" DVDs in 2002 and will look to creating the best DVDs of their classic films that they can offer the public.

There are probably a zillion pallets of the screwed up ones still around from the large pressing for the original release day. The screwed up ones were not recalled so they will probably be around in stores for years. Just keep looking for the right sticker on the box. First I heard of the sticker, all I heard was that there was a V2 on the actual discs.

OK, I bought the set, opened the box and the 2nd disc "Back to the Future 2" has a "v2" along the bottom of the disc.


On the third disc, "Back to the future 3", I did not see a "v2".

Was the 3rd disc to be replaced as well?

Two of the movies were replaced. Don't remember which two. Does the first movie have the V2 on the disc?

I got my box set when they came out, then sent in discs 2 & 3. Within a couple weeks, the new versions were in my mailbox. There was a site that showed examples of what the origonal & messed up versions looked like, but I have no idea where it is now.

Hey, I say just send in disc 3. Can't hurt!

OK,

Disc 1 has the folder creation date of 10/21/2002

Disc 2 has the folder creation date of 2/27/2003, and the V2 printed near the outer rim of the disc after "All rights reserved."

Disc 3 has the folder creation date of 3/11/2003.

So I image it is possible that disc 2 & 3 are the "newer" replacement discs.

Something else to consider about this set, the price is around $19.00. The original released had the SRP at $50.00+.

I guess if somebody could point out the website with the compairison of the bad images and the correct, I would be able to better state that these are the right discs.
