There were about 6-7 copies in HMV Piccadilly Circus yesterday afternoon.
All were resealed in protective sleeves. Though the way they were done just made me put them back on the shelves

Yesterday, I've made a trip in UK.
I've visited two HMV stores (Folkestone and Ashford).
One store with unsealed and resealed Steelbook (Ashford).
And one store with sealed Steelbook (Folkestone) but a f.... banner to say "replacement disc available at the cashier"

Here's my copy from HMV...The Guy unsealed it out of the original shrinkwrap and replaced the disc in front of me

I bet that wasn't pleasant, I've seen the way some people handle steelbooks!

which hmv was this hub? my local has no stock of this sealed ;/

 

[Sigill]

My local HMV just had one copy with the no disc inside sticker on it.

Went to Westfield White City and it was the same there. Apparently more stock is coming soon.

My local has them in the storeroom, sealed. BUT they will open and disc swap...No amount of begging worked

Apparently more stock is coming soon.

I can totally imagine that...What else is HMV going to do with 2000+ steelbooks?

 

[johnymohny]

Ouch about them refusing to keep it sealed :| do you reckon they will dispatch all future copies opened with the new disc inside?

Got one today from my local HMV. Had been opened and resealed to get the replacement disc in. However, there is a small scratch where the paint comes away at the back Any advice guys?

Take it back for a replacement if you are not happy with it.

 

[CaptainCoffee]

I'm really glad I got mine of HMV.com before all this happened. I'm just going to keep mine sealed. I hadn't planned on doing that but seeing how so many stores are opening them up and putting the new discs in the value of a factory sealed one will probably triple over time.

 

[VRob98]

Has anybody who bought from HMV online received a replacement disc yet?

The stores all seem stocked with the replacement, but I haven't even had an email advising of any recall or problem. Maybe you have to ring them up to request one?

 

[snooloui]

They should be automatically sending a replacement disc to eveyone who ordered online. No sign of mine yet though and I don't believe anyone else has got one either.

Another fiasco involving HMV and steelbooks? Why am I not surprised?

Makes you wonder how the hell they get exclusives on some steelbooks.

They are an absolute disgrace and amateurish at the very best.

The issue is with an an authoring fault and not with HMV.

The general re-release date is 15 October 2012

That makes two of us Deuce, I didn't care for The Expenables either! I thought Cabin in The Woods was a decent film, the twist at the end makes it one of the more original horror/comedy films around. The Steelbook is very nice too!
