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

What a damn joke from HMV. At first I thought it was something else I never ordered; a freebie, perhaps. But no, it was, quite frankly, shit packaging, with a busted box that I'm returning ASAP. Angry is the best way to describe my feelings. I honestly cannot understand anyone shipping something so poorly given the cost.

To summarise:

Came in a shitty grey bag, in shitty flat card.
Box damaged.
Angry.

Also, yeah the game is unsealed, both the outer box and game. The steelbook is really, really nice though. Good artwork of Noct-errr...this other guy, heh.

What is that pre-order bonus, never seen that?

Sorry to hear someone else suffered like me at the hands of the idiots packing things in HMV's warehouse.

I've sent their customer services a rather irate email and re-ordered the special edition from Amazon who managed to send my Last Story LE in excellent condition.

Now what should I use as packaging to return the HMV order.....maybe tissue paper

That's too good for them

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

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
