Just feel the way that the hinges are constructed. This thing won't stand up to repeated openings.

Went to my Best Buy yesterday and they had about 5 or 6 sitting out. I don't know if they just got another shipment, but they had quite a few and I was the only one who touched any of them in the 30 minutes I was at the store.

Again you don't own it so your comment makes no sense. So congratulations you looked at the outside of the packaging and maybe the pics I posted but have you seen the item opened up with your own eyes. I'm going to assume no so my comment stands.

You don't know me, and you don't know what I own or don't own.

It was an assumption. I didn't state it outright that you didn't own it. It would make no sense for me to do so. I was going off of this comment alone

I held it in my hands at a store, and it's obvious that the cardboard is really thin. It's not thick cardboard like Warner's DigiBooks or the Twilight DigiPaks that Borders and Target offered.

That right there said to me you don't own it.

Oh and by the way the hinges are constructed exactly the way they should be and that is on a heavier card stock. To have the same thickness as present for the rest of the box they would fail much quicker. That said I don';t know how many times you could possibly open and watch this that you would even begin to start noticing damage to the hinge.

I posted several pictures in the Target thread comparing the DVD and BD versions. Therefore, for this thread, I specifically took a picture of the cube with the DVD version of the Target exclusive to prove that I did buy it. In fact, the background is the same carpet that I used for my Target DVD/BD comparison pictures.

Again I'm not arguing you didn't buy it. Your earlier comment in the thread made it seem so. If you bought it congrats no need to defend yourself so vehemently.

I would hate to see when you do "state it outright"

This is so why I decided to get the Target exclusive because I am not much a fan of the big box collectibles Blu-ray set. I agree with Blu-ray Girl Fan with it being pretty flimsy.

Thank you, Nemesis!

To all the naysayers:

Look at the Customer Reviews on BestBuy.com --
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Hunger-G...ustomerreviews

Several complaints about the movie disc not being able to play, with some people trying upwards of 3 different copies.

There are only two Customer Reviews at Target.com, so the sample size is smaller. However, neither one has complained about faulty discs.

Personally I think the Target package was lackluster. Even the fast five packaging was way better. That being said Best Buy exclusive isn't that great either. It is very good looking but it isn't as solid as i like. I'm hoping that best buy release all the movies like this so I can fill up the box, which may help elevate this edition above the rest for me. The costco exclusive was way too expensive. I'd have kept it for $30 but $50 is too much for a bunch of stuff with a regular blu ray. I kept both the target and the best buy and have to wait to get the regular blu later to have something to put my comic con exclusive slip over.

laz305 · 08-23-2012, 01:01 PM

I am totally satisfied with this box, I d/k what you guyz are talking about. It is pretty solid to me. Surprised it's not out of stock already

Also leave it to my wife to get suckered into getting the $3 insurance, what good is this for? Can someone tell me? Like they would be able to replace it a year from now lol
