Gene, asked a good question, any way to know when one might buy the whole new box set, that would also include the updated disc?

So, to confirm.... Is it actually 'lossless' DTS-HD MA or 'lossy' DTS-HD HR, as originally stated on the packaging?

I like early Elton but not enough to buy this box set, is anyone in the UK willing to sell me the faulty blu ray on it’s own? I’m not bothered if it’s not DTS HD MA? Any surround makes me happy
Thanks

For anyone who's interested the Hybrid SACD is still available from Amazon UK for less than £27.00...

Apparently there has been a delay in production of the replacement disc, and it is due to be sent out in late July or early August. Only time will tell.

Latest from that other forum we use:

Per UMG for USA customers "all blu-ray replacements to the US were dispatched over 5th, 6th and 7th of August, so you should receive yours within the next 2-3 working days."

Did you get any sort of email notice that it was being shipped…or did it just show up?
