Sony Fixes Problems With New DVDs

An anonymous reader writes "Following up on reports that DVDs for some Sony titles were causing problems, Video Business is reporting that Sony has fixed the copy-protection problem on recent DVD releases, and will provide replacement discs to customers. The problem was with the ARccOS DRM system. The company issued the following statement: 'Recently, an update that was installed on approximately 20 titles was found to cause an incompatibility issue with a very small number of DVD players (Sony has received complaints on less than one thousandth of one percent of affected discs shipped)... Since then, the ARccOS system has once again been updated, and there are no longer any playability problems.' Customers can call 800-860-2878 to inquire about replacement discs."

So few complaints? by Biogenesis · 2007-04-17 20:45 · Score: 5, Interesting

0.001%? Did they even ship enough disks in the first place to get such a small number of complaints as one in 100,000?

*crosses fingers and hopes my maths is right* :p.
