Badly designed CE game boxes

[I_BE_WILL]

I'm not sure how any others looked as it was the only left in the store but the window on the Songbird box seems warped and wavy, which is a slight detraction if you wanted to display it. It's extremely minor but if I remember correctly (my actual box is siting somewhere in my house) that the Animus Edition of AC Revelations had an angled bottom of the box that doesn't sit properly on a shelf.

I've heard a few horror stories about that one.

The clear plastic will always have a slight wave to it.

I know what you mean about the Animus edition. When I got mine I was like WTF! I thought it was pushed out of shape and then realised it was made like that.

My songbird edition was like that as well,i dont like it. I like my plastic nice & smooth. Me thinks its the plastic used combined with heat distortion. I even had them check all the editions they had & they were all the same,not good. Animus is sucky to sit on shelf,i have stuff behind it to prop it upright.

Worse for me is the first Bioshock CE with the Big Daddy figure. A major costly stuff up there,box to small & over half the figures broken off at the drill bit.

Hi,

This seemed odd to me also when I received mine, but it's worth noting the songbird is in it's own box inside, and once I had take that box out (whilst still wavey as it's that plastic you see) it looks much better as it's flush to the cardboard around the edges:



For reference here is my unboxing and a shot of the inner box by itself.

Granted it stall has the wavey plastic, however it looks much better in it's secondary box than in the main box. Other things have used a much firmer plastic in the past though.

Hi,

Sorry for the double post but it just came to mind that my Tekken 6 was a tad disappointing.




The unboxing has a few more pictures if needs be.

It was basically just a box with everything in, not even a particularly hard wearing cardboard either - also the seller didn't package it particularly well... all in all a bad design, I would have been annoyed if it had some sort of statue in it as I feel it would have been obliterated!
