I am one of the backers for this kickstarter. I put a lot of money into
this project, b/c I was interested in the Blu Ray Edition including the
last interview with Tramiel.
However, I am very disappointed about the production quality: As it turned
out, the fabric that did the production of the Blu Rays didn't press
commercial quality discs through a glass master, but simply copied the
disc by burning the documentary on cheap writable discs.
Besides the problem that this kind of disc is not as durable as pressed
discs, my Xbox One is not capable of playing it. Microsoft itself states
that it does not support burned discs.
Also, after having spent more than 120 Euros for this documentary it is
really disappointing to receive such a low quality product. I am however
in contact with the creator who said that there will be a commercially
available version of the documentary later this year and he'll have it
sent to me.
Funny thing is: Although this is fair, I just can't stop thinking: What
about the so-called exclusiveness of the product for kickstarter backers
only (in regards to the "Last Interview with Jack Tramiel" if there will
be a commercially available version anyway?
Just thinking...
cu,
Christian.
