Default Harry Potter Deathly Hallows 1 and 2 3D boxset incorrect

So i went in to HMV today and bought this:


Good price for both movies in 3D i thought. I checked the back to make sure all the extras from the normal release were there and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a 6 disc set containing what seemed to be all the features:


I got home and took the cases out and they seemed a bit light, Hmmmm i thought:


Oh look, the back of the cases doesnt seem to list any extras, maybe that's just the way it's been designed i thought:


So i opened them up and lo and behold!:


Just two measly discs! Each containing only the 3D version of the movie. So the set is missing 4 discs and all the bonus content. WTF?! What a weird mistake for the manufacturer to make! I'm going back tomorrow to return this and at the same time ask what the hell, as it's really odd. Just wanted to warn anyone in case they were planning on picking this up. Not sure if i just got a duff copy or if this is an overall error, but the back of the case clearly lists 6 discs and a load of bonus content which isnt there!

In follow up to this, i went back to HMV today to return this. The guy opened up another set and exactly the same problem inside, just the 2 3D discs, so he took all of the other copies off the shelf and gave me a refund.

Looks like something as straightforward as somebody typing the number 6 instead of the number 2 when submitting the copy for the back sleeve. Very expensive mistake to make, but having seen the way most of these film companies work I can't say I'm surprised.

Not just that dude as they had to type that the 2d movies were included as well as the special features. They even went to the trouble of listing the special features as you can see above, so it cant be as simple as a one digit typo. All in all a very weird series of errors

No, it's not a typo, these should be 6 disc sets. The 2D and Special features are on separate discs in the individual releases for Part 1 and II 3D, and the 3D disc included here appears to be the same one included in those sets too.

It should have come with:

Part I 3D BD
Part I 2D BD
Part 1 Special Features BD
Part II 3D BD
Part II 2D BD
Part II Special Features BD

Ah gotcha!

On the back of all the mistakes on the Wizards set surely someone at WB should be up for the sack. This isn't rocket science but will be a hugely costly mistake.
