I actually thought I was missing the "box" part because it was hidden, flat packed INSIDE the cardboard insert in the grey bag :/

Luckily everything was mint though xx

Lucky for you.

Firstly my copy was dumped by the delivery bloke in the communal entrance of my workplace without them even bothering to contact me to let me know it was there

Then thanks to their comedy packaging the box for the game was crushed and ripped down one side, not good for a LE item

So having spoken to customer services regarding their woeful packaging, which they blamed on trying to be environmentally conscious. I guess they don't know you can recycle a large cardboard box? My options are to either refund it and order from somewhere like Amazon or get a replacement from HMV and see if they can actually package it with any sort of protection, maybe a polite letter in the return package with some helpful diagrams of how to put things in a cardboard box? Not sure it's worth the uncertainty just for a rather cheap slipcase and a small artbook

Happy for everyone who got their copy intact but now sorely disappointed with HMV.

At first I didn't think I got the box either, but found it in the end. Would have been nice if it wasn't flat packed. The artbook was a nice addition though.

As for the game its self the out box was damaged there is a tear in one of the sides which is kinda annoying. The box wasn't sealed neither was the game but looks like that is a common thing with them

I did take some quick pics for anyone that wants to see -quite a few so posted in a folder- Pre-Order bonus and Game

All though I didn't get this from HMV I did get this from work day, it was a pre-order bonus we where doing but we got more than pre-orders so we just give it away with the game -or I took one XD perk of the job-

The writing is metallic like but similar to the writing on the artbook

A3 -i think- size poster, you got one if you pre-ordered it from blockbuster but stores prob got enough to give out when they sell a copy -I know we did in my store- I think it was an exclusive to them

Thanks will check my local out.

Do HMV accept instore returns? I don't see any mention on their site so I'll assume not.

No they do not.
