A friend of mine has the DSOTM Immersion box set and the Bluray has just failed, it wont load. As I was about to buy this set also(just to get the Bluray) I am quite concerned that my copy will also have this issue. Has anyone got any ideas on how to go about getting the discs replaced? Or do we have a dud on our hands?

It's the US discs that are not so prone to fail I gathered. The original European discs have and are failing consistently for this title. Kind of sad but what can you do.
Greatings Awdeeohnut!, if you're adventurous and willing to learn, it's best to rip a digital copy and store onto a Hard Drive or SSD (Solid State Drive) to play through various machines like Oppo's etc. Usually with the programs like MakeMKV, followed by AudioMuxer. It could then also be played from a computer via a program like FooBar2000. Many of us here do this in hopes of long term storage as disc rot can happen at anytime; and some of these discs turn out to be worth hundreds of dollars (or pick your fav. currency - yadda yadda!) i.e. Jethro Tull. It's even possible to rip (for your own use of course) SACD discs with other programs. It is also a very convenient way to access your collection at a moments notice to hear through the prior mentioned machines.
Just wanted to add my thanks here also for the great information posted here.
I contacted the email address, got an automated reply which asked for proof of purchase and a mailing address.
I supplied those last night, check email this morning... disk has been posted to me. Blown away!
I wish more audio production houses were like this.

Oh wow, they did not even ask for the other back? Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice Kooonessssss
Same here, I've got two copies of the BR and they both work flawlesslyOh wow, they did not even ask for the other back? Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice Kooonessssss
I thought the DSotM replacement program ended. I don’t mind the clicks on my WYWH but I’ve held off getting DS even when I find a good deal. I’m not one for lotteries.
@Snood - no . . . they did not want the defective disk returned. I guess they passed that point after about 1,000 replacement disks.
I am really pleased with this service, which makes me realise how low my expectations are these days that companies will do the right thing by its customers.
Welcome to the forum
@IronWaffle - you inspired me to buy the WYWH Immersion box-set. I can live with a few clicks. I have the analogue productions SACD of WYWH but I really want the original quad mix (and all the vinyl Quads of WYWH I've ever seen are in terrible condition). For $116 Aussie dollars ($84USD, $64GBP) . . . I'm good with that.
@Clint Eastwood - thanks for the welcome!

The replacement program is still up and running, if anyone still needs a new Blu-ray and has proof of purchase; my new disc arrived in the mail today - see details in my post on another thread.
