It certainly sounds like people have bought something that is going to look completely different on release.
Sound familiar?

 

[badgerman]

So surely we need to be shown what we are buying and be given an option to cancel if we do not like it?

Just going by your avatar, would you really cancel this if there was a minor change?

 

[meth head]

Hmmmmm.....not liking the sound of this!

Haha I wouldn't but we have to have principles right? Or else the retailers will start walking all over us.

Haha, most of that announcement is gibberish to me too, but I don't care as long as the actual design isn't changed. Whether it's Nova or some other company name plastered on doesn't seem like that big of a deal. Sucks that it seems to have delayed shipping though. But I'll be happy as long as it arrives safe and sound, preferably before 2015.

All I gather from this announcement is, that there is a change of logos on the spine and nothing else. So there is no need to worry

 

[terry44]

Well the minor spine change does not bother me

 

[DodgyDave]

So it doesn't say Nova 001.
Sounds like a major alteration to me.

 

[JH2607]

Guess the opposite is the case. It will say Nova 001

 

[Zaandam3]

That would F' up the collection line.
Lone survivor and such....

Be sending out correction stickers like Kimchi thor. [emoji2]

Expect the standard KD Media logo/Blu Ray format on the bottom. See The Fake as an example:

Should also be noted these boxes are always (as far as I know) white. In this case the cover art is white too so it doesn't stand out but it will on the Drive release. Might be a dealbreaker for the hardest of the hardcore but I'm fine with it!

*Edit - Can confirm from their most recent output the KD Media box has went without the white format and stuck to transparent to blend with cover art. Releases like American Hustle have been yellow to match the cover's font - so hopefully that means this KD Media box will be pink. =)

Just noticed that @Choi Chungkwon has replied to someone on Facebook asking for an English translation. Hope he doesn't mind me posting here for everyones benefit.

In domestic print run, Nova exclusive logo & sticker will not be printed on full & lenticular slip.
Because there is unresolved issue between Nova and publisher.
But If anyone buy from novamnm.com, you can get full & lenticular slip with Novamnm logo printed and sticker.
So do not worry about this announcement if you are oversea customers

 

[paulboland]

That's fine for us overseas customers noting has changed and all artwork and stickers and number is as originally listed

It only affects domestic customers in Korea
