We returned our second copy of TTT DVD a few days ago. I didn’t open until yesterday, just not wanting to find disappointment with it [see previous post and comments<\/a>]. So I waited until I was curious enough not to be thrown off by the result it would bring about.<\/p>\n

I chose to select a scene in our Sony DVD player, which had been the one to throw the Chapter 51 glitch at us each time we tried to view it with the first or second DVD we brought home. I chose chapter 51 and was amazed to see it play through. Hurray!<\/p>\n

So I went back to the main menu and started the movie from the beginning. It played without a hitch or glitch. Success!<\/p>\n

We bought 1, returned it.
\nExchanged for a second. Returned it.
\nExhanged for a third. Keeping it. It works.<\/p>\n

Now, here’s hoping that the Extended version of TTT will be flawless!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
