I don't tend to watch my movies again and again all that often. I bought the LE Tin when it was released from DV-Depot and I watched it (and the extras) a couple of weeks later. Fine, no problems.

My brother also picked this up, but has only checked his copy recently - only to discover that it would not play on his DVD player (we both have a Tosh 100E).

He wanted to see if his played on my player, but it didn't - I wanted to show him the movie using my (working) copy and now mine doesn't play either!! Eh??!! :confused:

Both discs just show the 'loading' blue screen and nothing happens.

I remember there being some issues at the time this came out - can anyone remind me what happened? I didn't really take in the details as it didn't apply to me. This is especially irritating as I watched it no problem when I bought it. Were Heathers discs programmed to 'expire' or something??!!! ;)

The disc seems to have been reissued, as my non-tin version of Heathers had a 'Version 2.0' sticker on the back. Think they put something right that had caused problems with the initial pressing. How to rectify the problem will depend on your retailer I suppose, e.g. DVDBO exchanged faulty copies of Leon with the sound problem a while back, but I had to pay to post it back.
