Paramount recalls HD-DVD Jack Ryan Collection

[JoeSp]

Seems that Paramount might have used the wrong cover on the HD-DVD version of the Jack Ryan Collection:

"Please be advised that there are typographical errors on the packaging for the Jack Ryan Special Collector's Edition HD-DVD. The packaging inadvertently notes special features that are not on the HD-DVD.

As a result, this product is being recalled and street date is being delayed. We ask that you do not sell or rent this product to consumers and that you stop shipments to additional destinations. A Paramount Home Entertainment Representative will contact you with an RA number to facilitate sending the product back to Paramount Home Entertainment's manufacturing facility. Returned product should include any unit previously shipped to retailers or other destinations as well as your on-hand inventory. We will provide further information on the availability of new product shortly."

Maybe there was not enough room on these discs to support those extra features either! Or as Diogen likes to say -- not enough bandwith!

over 10% free on the movie disk... over 2 Mbps in average...
If not for the peak bitrate, would be enough to replace DD+ with THD...
