Close Encounters dropped by Netflix?

Interesting snippet from a HD forum:

I received the above Blu- Ray disc from Netflix on Thursday and it
would not play on my BDP-S1.

I requested a new copy and here is the reply I got from NETFLIX:

"The title: Close Encounters of the Third Kind has been removed from your Queue. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we will no longer offer this title as part of our rental library. Please check our site periodically as the availability of this title could change."

What is this all about ?

Not sure the reason for this, my email to Netflix has yet to be returned.

this can happen for a number of reasons, but the 2 most likely are that there was a manufacturing issue with the physical disk (i.e. incorrect graphic, menu options, subtitles, etc.) that cause the disks to be pulled. There is a chance they may be back in the future if the problem is taken care of. 2nd is if it is an obscure title or there is an extremly small quantity they may be pulled until they are able to purchase more copies
