Universal response!

[whet]

Decided to E mail Universal after hearing the other week of the Relases of Season 3 first on region 2.

I was hoping to get an answer for a planned region 1 relase, but this was the reponse

So still as much in the dark realy

Makes me wonder how companys such as playusa etc can sell region 1's to uk?

After all Universal must be aware of the fact that they do..

I hope I can get the reaming 2 seaons on region 1, its my preferred Choice.

Before I even read this thread I knew that it was a mail-bot response. I don't know why anyone even bothers to write them. These people probably never even read the E-mails at all.

Well? They gave you a number, CALL!

[tkr9]

I'll lay odds if you call you'll get "Hello, this is Universal Studios UK dvd distributors. Due to the large number of enquiries we receive, there is no one available to take your call at the moment. For long, drawn out tosh about our forthcoming releases, press 1. For news about what a great company we are, press 2. For enquiries about employment, please remember the tv and film industry operates on sophisticated recruitment network gateways (ie. it's who you know, not what you know) so don't bother unless you know one of the producers and can ask for a job over lunch, so press 3 and we will cut you off. For all other enquiries, and to talk to a human operator, please hang up the receiver and call the Samaritans. Have a nice day!"

tkr9 - Man, if that isn't a good rendition of how some of those phone line answering systems work! Or you get to go around and around in circles in their menu system on your dime and only go back to the first menu, or if you get someone, they hear your question and tell you they'll patch you through to the right depeartment, which, btw, happens to be the menu you started from! I had that happen a few times too.

Or these dumb AI systems that you literally talk or 'say' numbers or whatever and they only try to patch you through to a human which, isn't really there...

Computers make lousy phone operators.
