ok, all 3 copies are damaged 2 with scratches on the front which can be seen under the wrap, and even my open one has a paint chip at the bottom once i removed the j-card.

 

[Sir Hilary Bray]

I'm pretty much in the same boat as you Huggy.

Well Play may not have found very many extra copies, but this seems to be hanging around in stock longer than we usually see when they open up sales again on sold out titles on or near release date. (I don't recall this happening with Terminator, for example.) Maybe they were a little premature in closing pre-orders with this one?

 

[Scarface]

to those of you considering returning any damaged copies......
considering the problems this release has encountered, is it worth considering the possibility that any replacement copies may arrive in even worse shape than your original order? my copy does have 2 or 3 very faint hairline scratches, but i'm not concerned by it. god knows what might arrive in its place if i did return it!!!!

yep i have 1 copy left that has a tiny paint chip on front and a scratch near the spine on front but i doubt very much i would get a copy any better than the one i have now

Region B locked? Subtitles? Please confirm!

 

[townterrier]

B locked, subtitles optional English......according to the rear card. Received two, have not opened one as yet....

Both look in mint, undamaged condition also!

Still on Play site. Feel for collectors paying over the odds on e bay.

Well surely if they are real collectors they would be all over this site! It rocks.

I'm tempted to order another for a trade. It's true that this is 100% nicer in the flesh. The red metalic colour is awesome and the debossing is great too!

 

[surfury]

Folks, just check under the Arrow logo at the top of the spine as I have found a 2 scratches here on same copy. Hope replacements OK

Even Watchmen sold out faster than this on release day.

 

[Bermo]

recieved 2 sat 1 good 1 front has a massive bubble not impressed

 

[jonpeat]

It seems that play made an error saying this had sold out. There must have been 100's more going on sale today......and they are still there on the website. Not impressed that stock levels have been so wrong!

 

[TobinFrost]

Am I the only one not to have received?

 

[Jango]

The Box was (and is) still in great shape!!!

Just reordered one...

 

[terry44]

Glas I was outbid so many times on ebay for this title
just grabbed one

 

[liammurphy1985]

No paint chips at all on mine! On the other hand, it is all banana'd up! The case is actually curved, so sending it back. Just ordered another couple so hopefully one will be ok...

Exactly the same with mine
So you have an option... Banana or Paint defect...

I wait for the just ordered one to arrive before i send it back!
