Is anyone else having the problem of the packaging starting to come undone? My "bookcovers" are starting to warp and are ungluing themselves from the plastic disc holder. I've placed a ton of heavy books on top of the thing to try and press it back together.

I decided to go with the Optimum R2 as a good balance of being able to get the disc some time ahead of the R1, and with properly subtitled extras. I've just reviewed the last 3 pages of this thread, and I don't think anyone has actually stayed on topic or mentioned the Optimum at all!

Nothing wrong with the R 3 transfer I can see.
My "book" isnt having problems, but ive had other discs where the clear plastic hubs come unglued-Gently pull it off and reglue-put a heavy book on top and let dry;
I keep mine stuffed upright on a shelf, between other cases, so no warp for me;
But Beaver ought to have this up soon.

Holy Sheeit! Mine is doing it too. Wasn't like that when I opened it. It's not been hot or cold in my room either. It's like whatever board is in the front and back covers are warping and pulling away from the packaging. What a pisser.

Have you guys even seen the movie?
Ofelia's book (which this packaging is based on) is totally thrashed and dog-eared. The more worn this packaging looks, the more authentic it becomes. It still holds the discs and the insert just fine - I don't see the problem.

no, i dont watch mine. I just put them on the shelf.........
the problem is that i didnt pay for something in that condition, so i wouldnt expect it to become like that on its own. had it been like that already, and advertised like that, then it would have been my choice whether to buy it like that.

I just received my LE last week and the warping has already started. It's a shame because it's a very nice set.
I thought the sound and picture quality were great. I didn't see the film in the theater, but it looked very good upconverted on my Oppo player. The DTS track is great.

I am finding that wrapping the elastic thingy vertically around the far right side has helped a lot. It's even taken out almost all of the warping that occurred prior to my doing this.

Went to watch this last night and holy crap, the thing was all warped for me too.
How did I unwarp it? Muscle. Plus, I just keep the elastic band thingy across the top part instead of the bottom now.

Well the Optimum disc is excellent quality. Looking forward to watching again with Del Toro's commentary soon.
If we're lucky, the US version may come out with a different version like the two commentaries on Hellboy -- always makes great listening.
