Replacement discs are to include longer, original “Threads”
Not too long ago, those who purchased the recently released Region 1 (North America) boxed set for Season Eight were shocked to find that it was the shortened/cut version of “Threads” which was burned onto Disc 5 instead of the originally broadcast version which the SciFi Channel featured as a special 90-minute episode. Consumer complaints were handled by Sony and now TVShowsOnDVD.com has the updated information on how to get a replacement disc, presumably with the longer, original version. Because it is a replacement disc, most likely all other features of the disc have been maintained.
Sony is asking for either the entire jewel case with DVD or the Proof of Purchase (located on the lower right corner of disc’s “Scene Selections” guide sheet which is placed inside the jewel case).
Time is limited! You must postmark your request by January 31! The replacement disc could take as long as eight weeks to be delivered.
