Not worth the hassle for a credit change to me. Sounds like way more trouble than it's worth. I've watched my entire Blu and it works fine so I'll quit while I'm ahead.

I received a pre-paid envelope to send the old one back for a replacement but haven't bothered to do so yet. Doesn't seem so important to me anymore.

I haven't watched my Blu-ray yet other then Terror in the Aisles. What was wrong with the disc?

They used an old print from what looks like the mid 80s that didn't have Moustapha Akaad's production credit on it for whatever reason (even though he is credited on the packaging), people freaked out and claimed some weird conspiracy theory and made a stink out of nothing so they conceded and made a replacement disc.

and I am pretty sure this is why we didn't get Hallloween III in October.

Thanks. That doesn't seem worth the trouble of a replacement, which can be a hassle to say the least.

Or maybe it's because III's 30th Anniversary is next year, silly!

On the note, I won't be sending out my disc for a replacement until we get the full facts on the specs and extras for the replacement disc. I know deep down that Terror Of The Aisles will be on the replacement disc, but I just gotta make sure first.

I hope this controversy doesn't deter Universal from releasing Halloween III or other 80s horror flicks on blu-ray in the future.

I'm happy with my blu-ray, and I'm not going to bother with a replacement. Not worth it to me.

Chalk me up as another who doesn't care enough to bother exchanging. I know who's behind the franchise, and it's just a quick credit. If anything more significant was cut I would be swapping.

I feel the same way, mine's fine as is. Not only that but i feel that Universal did this on purpose to stir up controversy.

Some sort of conspiracy! Watch, folks will realize there's more things cut from Terror in the Aisles on the replacement disc

Great news! The replacements disc is exactly the same with the exception of the correct credit!:

http://forum.blu-ray.com/blu-ray-mov...2011-a-91.html

So now we can put this to rest; the replacements does include Terror In The Aisles (as I thought it would)!
