Lord Of The Rings Lego Is Being Recalled

Lord Of The Rings Lego Is Being Recalled

Yesterday seemed to be a comedy of errors for two publishers. First Activision’s manufacturer managed to burn copies of Mass Effect 2 onto Black Ops 2 discs, and now Warner Bros. manufacturers have managed to top them.

A lot of users who purchased Lord of the Rings Lego for Xbox 360 reported something rather hilarious yesterday (well hilarious for us not affected at least). Instead of having a full game when they opened the box, numerous players discovered that they had in fact received a demo disc of the title, with the full product nowhere to be seen. Apparently the issues wasn’t just with a small batch of copies either, as reports came in from several different outlets and customers. Thing is, the game is actually on the disc, just the labelling is wrong.

Warner Brothers released a statement saying that the discs still contained the full game on them, and that this was a matter of incorrect printing. They are staging a small recall to replace and fix discs affected however.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment is recalling a small number of LEGO The Lord of the Rings video games that were released for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft to Walmart, Target and Toys ‘R’ Us in the United States with a disc labeling error. The discs in question are incorrectly labeled as demo discs, but those discs do contain the full game content and are fully functional. This error does not affect any other formats of the game. We are in the process of remanufacturing the discs and will get them to the stores as soon as possible.

Consumers who purchased a copy of the Xbox 360 version of the game with the disc labeling error can contact customer support via email at support@wbgames.com or phone at 410-568-3680 for a replacement disc.

Just imagine opening up a brand now gme and seeing the words “demo disc” printed on it? Talk about your gaming nightmares.

    • AG_Sonday

      They should be afraid or maybe we should be afraid of each other. I can never figure out which one it is.

      @twitter-58717692:disqus  just worthless garbage.

  • AG_Sonday

    Yeah, whichever way you look at this, it is pretty hilarious. Even if I bought the game and opened it up to see that I’d lol for awhile and rage for a bit longer.

    • CataclysmicDawn

       And then go all emo for the next year and a half?

    Thanks for the title of this article, guys. Ya got me…dammit (>_<)

  • Michael Matusowsky

    Not as big a fuck up as the Mass Effect 2 fuck up. At least people got the game the paid for in this game box.

    • Michael Matusowsky

      I fucked up my e-mail when writing that comment. It says madrodl instead of madrofl :(. So when you count the comments, make sure you count it in the “madrofl” column. Thanks :).

    • sage of the six paths

      Or just don’t do that and say you did and allow me to win. :)

    I hope when I pick up this game for XBox, I don’t get this because otherwise I might rage-cry-rage in that order =P

    Would have a helluva time convincing a trade store to accept it.
