We have just gotten numerous emails from readers who tell us that Fox Home Video’s release of “Alien” seems to have problems with certain Toshiba players, namely the SD-3108 model. Our reader Christopher Taber tells us that the player doesn’t intialize the disc correctly and locks up completely. You have to unplug the machine and plug it back in to get the disc to even ejected. Toshiba have reportedly been fielding calls for this thing for the past three days.

We’ll keep you posted if new information on the issue comes up.
