Gladiator problems on the Gundig player!

Recently I purchased the regional 2 dvd of Glaiator the moment it was available. This version a two disc set with all the features on the second disc. However, when i tried to play the feature disc I discovered that it would not load and play on my player. So I contacted the Gundig helpline for tech. support. Thier representive informed me that the Gladiator feature disc is a problem with the Gundig players and other makes. He went on the inform me that thier is a 5% problem with some discs not playing on all players. This was his answer and it was just hard luck in owning a Gundig GDV-210 player, or any other unfortunate manufacture that their is problems with.

What I cannot understand is why these manufacture cannot test new release before they are sold to the consumer. That way they could either offer a warning to the retailers or offer to recall the players that are not able to do what they are advertised to do. From my experience with Gundig I will never purchase another item that they have manufactured again. They sold me the machine with the strength that it would play all regional 2 discs and quite clearly it does not. It is about time these manufactures took an example from Sony and make their machines to play all dics.

If any one else has had simular problems i would like to hear about. Maybe if we demostrate the extent of the problem they might do something about it!
