Terminator Salvation PC recalled in the US, printing machine problems arise

Folks who bought copies of the on-disc PC version of Terminator Salvation in the US are not having much luck running the game. In fact, it seems just about everyone who bought it is experiencing problems due to an error printing the disc. Copies bought from Steam are however fine, as are the PS3 and 360 versions of the game. This topic on the game’s official forum seems to be the place to gather to complain.

Unfortunately a defect occurred during replication of the PC version of Terminator Salvation, which does not allow end users to install the game,” the publisher said. “The Xbox 360 and PS3 are not affected and function properly. We have recalled all PC copies of Terminator Salvation from retail in North America and are currently in the process of replicating new copies.

The new copies will be on store shelves in a few days,” the statement continued. “A replacement plan for all end users that purchased the defective units is currently being set up. Details to get a replacement copy will be announced shortly. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused the end users that purchased the defective copy.

Does this mean SkyNet wins?
