How much more would a sealed copy that had the original disc be worth now that most of the stock left has been opened?

An unbearably large amount that would surely make you rich.

Checked out Peterborough HMV this morning - steelbooks are back on the shelf with NO protection - unsealed and not even a polybag to protect them!! They'll be bust by Christmas....

Well, no-one else seems to have posted this info, so i will.
I contacted HMV online over the weekend to find some info about the replacement disc fiasco, and received this today.


Thanks for your email.

I can confirm that we have not yet received the replacement stock, we are expecting this by next week.

Once the stock has arrived at our warehouse, we will then dispatch this to you.

Any questions? Visit the 'Help'section on www.hmv.com; reply to this email, or give us a ring instead on 0845 603 8576. We're open Monday to Friday, from 9am - 6pm.

So it seems that those of us that bought online, will not be getting our replacement discs as soon as we thought.
I spose that they wanted to replace all unsold stock first, to try and claw some money back towards the cock up, then they can sell again. Us that bought online.....well....they got our money already.

Are you able to pick up a copy for members or did you find out without going into the store?

Been to the store buddy during my lunch and now back at the office. I will go again after work and hopefully there will be some left then.

Thanks for letting us know neilski, it looks like we will be waiting longer that the 2 week estimated time then. As you say they will be using the discs they have for new sales and worrying about those that have already bought later.
