Thanx for the tip. However I already read the new policy. It seems that they are not accepting replacments anymore. Sayang. Anyways, do you know where I can find the v2 of the trilogy? I prefer region 1 because I alreaddy bought the r3 and it said in the box that it was already the new version but when I palyed it, bttf 3 still had the misframing error. I returned it already.

I just sent mine for replacing 3 weeks ago and got them back early last week. i used johnny air as my return address bro.

Thanks bunkieboy. Hassle talaga tong defective discs na ito. anyways, can you give me the exact procedure on how to have the discs replaced. I have read the previous posts and threads already but it is confusing since the policy has been chnged a couple of times already. I want to know how you exactly did it . Thanks

I was planning on ordering this via relatives in the States but then stumbled upon this thread (as well as the related one in dvd maintenance). Can anyone please confirm if it's already safe to buy this, either from Amazon or retailers like Fred Meyer, etc.? Or is it still the V2 with the fixed 2nd disc but still with the flawed 3rd disc?

Any info would really help, thanks!

i dunno about the US or ordering from amazon, but here in Canada, when i go look at BTTF over at Best Buy or some other shops, i still see no 'V2' markings anywhere in the packaging... i can't tell if the ones being sold here are the fixed discs already or not...

Hmm.. so no guarantees huh? So you think I should hold off getting this one until an even newer version comes along? Is that even going to happen?

greatbop · « **Reply #156 on:** Jul 19, 2004 at 08:09 PM »

hehe.. the v.2 is a really rare thing to see. infact, i have never even heard people say na they've seen it.

so only way talaga is to send the 2 discs for replacement. Or just forget about a 10 second sequence on disc 2...

you can get the R3 version here although i guarantee you that disc 3 is still the one with the mis-frame error but its hardly noticeable compared to the mis-frame error of disc 2. Only disc 1 and 2 were really corrected by magnavision. I think there are still available copies in astrovision with the sticker "New Version" attached to it

cherubrock · « **Reply #158 on:** Jul 20, 2004 at 02:10 AM »

(Sigh) I think I'll pass muna getting this title

kinda frustrating 'coz I was really looking forward to it pa naman sana.. $:-\$

kings5504 · « **Reply #159 on:** Jul 20, 2004 at 05:38 AM »

cherubrock, i would suggest that you email the guys in charge of the replacement discs (melissa mcgee - can't remember the address though, but i'm pretty sure it's in one of the earlier pages of this thread... sorry, i'm too lazy to look!) and ask them if they are still replacing those misframed discs. if they are, then go get the R1 version (heck, you might get lucky and get the 'V2' version!) and just have parts 2 and 3 replaced... it's pretty quick and easy (and once again, the steps in how to request the replacement copies are in the previous pages of this thread)... i got mine pretty fast, considering that i was still living in antipolo at the time i requested my replacement discs and had it sent there... they didn't even ask me to mail in my misframed discs already since i'm in an international address...

BUT, if they're not doing the replacement thing anymore, then i'll just wish you good luck on finding a 'V2' BTTF at retail...

Thanks kings5504, toyfanatic and greatbop for the info

Kings5504, I'll think about your suggestion, but I'm kinda reluctant na to get this one at the moment. I read nga somewhere in this thread about people having the defective discs replaced (as well as all the hassles they've experienced) Me, I'm just hoping for a fixed version that I can enjoy straight off the rack without worries.

Or is that wishful thinking?

But thanks anyway

Guys,

Di ba sila nag-recall, bakit parang version 1 (uncorrected) pa rin ang nakuha ko from Amazon (got the package today).

No V2 print as indicated here, reply #126 - V2 print on disc.

Thanks and Cheers!!!
Compaq

hemisphere · « **Reply #162 on:** Feb 03, 2005 at 03:57 PM »

compaq dude,

apparently, amazon is still shipping the V1 uncorrected release til stocks run out.. kaya pala mura..

i received the uncorrected version also. collectors, be warned!!

JhunDV · « **Reply #163 on:** Feb 03, 2005 at 04:00 PM »

Bro Compaq, mukhang hindi nga sila nag-recall. Wala ring V2 sticker yung copy ko but I'm not sure kung V1 pa rin dahil di ko pa nabuksan. How can we get our copies replaced by V2 if it is indeed still V1?

Compaq · « **Reply #164 on:** Feb 03, 2005 at 05:02 PM »

Hemisphere, oo nga kaya pala mura, but I still feel shortchanged. I don't think that Amazon doesn't know anything about the defects and still, they continue to sell them.

JhunDV, regarding replacement, i'm not so sure. As you can see, the last message posted, before my message was made on July 20, 2004, just more than a couple of posts from this one. Maybe, we can still try to e-mail Universal Studio (see previous pages). I really don't know.

... still, Cheers!!!

thats strange, i just read the recent reviews on this item at Amazon according to the review 'Framing Fiasco appears to be corrected', both disc 2 & 3 are ok.
Check the reviews at the bottom of this link!

what! malamang ganun din sa akin! i hope ranran is correct!

subtitle · « **Reply #167 on:** Feb 03, 2005 at 06:53 PM »

Read the BTTF return and exchange FAQ here

according to the FAQ, nagpapalit lang ng R1 version ang Universal if you are in US or Canada.

it's a good thing nakuha ko na yung replacement discs almost two years ago from Melissa, without sending out my discs.

hemisphere · « **Reply #168 on:** Feb 03, 2005 at 09:37 PM »

thanks for the heads up subtitles.. i received the old version unfortunately...

subtitle · « **Reply #169 on:** Feb 04, 2005 at 10:30 AM »

have you contacted amazon? maybe they can replace your copy themselves.

hemisphere · « **Reply #170 on:** Feb 04, 2005 at 10:42 AM »

yup.. they asked me to ship it back to US..

krets pulpol · « **Reply #171 on:** Feb 04, 2005 at 10:59 AM »

nakup! mukhang mapapasoli din yung sa akin, hassle!
buti na lang nandun pa sa states hehe

the boxset should like the ones in the right, correct?

baby · « **Reply #172 on:** Feb 05, 2005 at 04:53 PM »

I received the old version as well. I e-mail Amazon about it. I told them that they mislead the consumers by posting the wrong pics with the sticker which sez “all 3 movies lowest price ever”. But I received the old version or version 1 with the old sticker which subtitle has posted. They apologized and refunded but has ask to return the item at their cost which is not bad at all.

subtitle · « **Reply #173 on:** Feb 08, 2005 at 06:34 PM »

according to the updated FAQ, the V2 boxes does NOT include the color brochure that was originally in the V1 boxes.

xage · « **Reply #174 on:** Aug 18, 2005 at 10:09 AM »

I got mine as a gift few months ago.

However, after a few browse in pinoydvd about back to the future months ago.. Yikes, I got the ERROR version

Below were the captured photos on how I end up to with the corrected version!

Note: it just happened this July-Aug 2005

The error version at its entirety

The SASE I received from Universal Studios

The packaged box I received after 4weeks

The certificate/letter from Universal (dated 8/10/2005) with the two corrected disc sealed in DVD Jewel cases

*with v2 now printed on the bottom right of the disc's art

BTTF copies from amazon.com are now v2 na pala.

jinjin · « **Reply #176 on:** Sep 17, 2006 at 08:57 AM »

actually ive seen some reviews at amazon and other sites and unfortunately some who ordered the v2 still got some copies of the v1 bttf in amazon. so i think its not assured.

rafgar · « **Reply #177 on:** Apr 23, 2008 at 10:40 AM »

I'm disposing my extra set of BTTF II and III (R1/v2) which was sent to me by Universal Pictures when I requested last 2003 for replacement discs for my defective discs. For more info, please see my post in the Marketplace.

Screenshot from my BD copy. Marty never landed on 2012. It was always 1955, 1985, and 2015.

We have to wait 3 more years in October
