Apparently the April Fools Joke came a day too soon for a handful of people who bought the Slumdog Millionaire DVD. As advertised, the DVD had some special features, which is common with the hardcopy releases, but a batch of the discs were missing these features.
Fox quickly set up a plan of action to counter this boo boo.
We are aware that special features were missing from a number of Slumdog Millionaire DVDs. Fox has set up a hotline telephone number (1-888-223-4FOX) for those consumers who may have purchased a version that does not contain special features. Upon calling the hotline, these consumers will be able to have their disc replaced for one containing special features. Fox regrets any inconvenience this has caused.
I don’t know exactly how many of these faulty discs made it into the hands of unsuspecting consumers, but it had to be enough to warrant Fox to issue this kind of customer service reaction.
If a couple dozen of the discs were misprinted, they would just let retailers do exchanges. This had to be a hell of a run of discs to generate that many complaints.
Did you buy a copy? Do you have the Making of and Deleted Scenes features?
