Cex selling blu rays with printed out covers.

[MadManWithaBox]

I know this isn't a new thing for them but it drives me nuts. Cex selling blu rays or games with printed out covers instead of the proper ones, what the ****. I ordered these two online, and its just awful, they're ugly, I'm extremely annoyed about it.

[Ste7en]

I'd be sending them back.

[CrockettandTubbs]

I'm glad I'm not too fussed about CEX.

I'll have a quick look in passing, but I've only bought something from them once - Arnie's Sabotage with slipcover for £3.

I worked in a store some time ago, and the rule then was any item with a printed cover was not allowed to be sent out. They were purely for in-store sales, as the customer would know what they were getting. This was probably an error!

[Gizz]

I like to buy my stuff from in store I have never ordered anything form there website. But that is just wrong if that was me I would be sending them back.

[robertzombie]

That's appalling!

[Ste7en]

I've only ever used them once. Some bugger on here said they had mint copies of Dreamgirls on BD, which they did and I ordered one. Few months later and they were hacked.

I hate their piss scented shops and never go in them.

Over here in The Netherlands i saw it as well and i also saw them selling Disney rip offs for like Mulan etc ( so when i ordered the Disney Mulan i received this one https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....GL._SY445_.jpg )

In the Liverpool CEX it's almost always exclusively Disney films with the copied covers. There are other obviously, more than there should be, It drives me mad.

Although alternatively, I was convinced that the copy of The Squid and the Whale had a copied cover and when I checked it against a sealed one in HMV, no it was real, just a shocking printing job lol...

[BudBaxter]

My local branch has a number of these on their shelves, though all of the photocopied covers are in colour, so you don't really notice until you take a closer look (they've even got a copy of Arrow's Lifeforce with one that they want £20 for!).

Not something I'm ever going to buy, especially as they're the same price as the proper versions. I would like to know where they got so many clear Arrow-style amaray cases to put them in though...

[Garry1958]

They're infuriating....blu-rays in dvd cases and printed covers...quite often at more than you would pay for a brand new pristine sealed copy.
I've had a few good deals at CEX but this practise is just sloppy....
I always check the inside of the cover for the tell-tale CEX stamp....but you
can usually tell a mile off anyway....

[101 steel]

Never really noticed before in my local branch. Where do they get them from? Are they buying from people that have printed their own covers?

[Ste7en]

I assume they photocopy them instore.

Odd how the penny hasn't dropped that the copyright extends to the cover artwork as well.

They're happy to buy discs without cases, so I guess when they do that, they just grab a spare case and print a copy of the cover.

[Lea74]

I've seen both Blu-rays, DVD and CDs with photocopied covers in my local stores.
My first thought is that they were counterfeit and should not be selling them.

I got a result last week in CEX, sold them my two year old Samung Galaxy mobile, got £51 for it, only cost me £64 originally

[casperuk]

I've asked about that in the past and was told they must have the case before being bought.

So someone is fiddling something

I had a copy of amazing spider-man blu ray that I bought from them for a couple of quid with a printed out cover, tried to trade it back to them and they said they didn't buy things without the correct cover.

******s.

I remember sending them Star Trek Enterprise season 1 DVD (Capsule edition) for trade, they sent it back saying a faulty disc....except they didn't return my copy, but rather one off their shelf complete which was in terrible condition with price sticker and all.

[UpsetSmiley]

I'd send them back OP, CeX offer free returns via Collect Plus or Royal Mail Freepost.

Stick a note inside politely asking for a replacement with the real cases and it should be fine. Quite a few DVDs I've ordered in the past have come like this.

[yeslek]

in store having printed covers is one thing but they should be drastically reduced in price for original disc only sales.

selling these online is disgusting
