Ah. Did the same problem befall the My-Otome Volume 1 box and/or the My-Otome Zwei LE boxes?

FWIW, Columbia House has added Devil May Cry, Volumes 1 and 2 to go along with the already available Volume 3.

More or less. Like My-HiME, the degree of the defect may vary. My-Otome Zwei box is nothing close to to the two other artboxes...it feels so wasteful. In any case, read this Mania/AoD review to get a better idea on the packaging.

So... this 50% off Anime at Best Buy sale ends on the 21st. Has there been any indication of what happens after that? Any educated guesses?

It would be swell if it dropped even further, but for some reason that doesn't seem likely.

There hasn't been any indications. They could possibly extend the current sale though the advertising and store signage indicate otherwise. They could also send their remaining stock back to their warehouse or back to the manufacturer. I personally don't think it would drop any further in terms of discounts. It just wouldn't make any sense for them to do it financially.

Did you guys who purchased the new Berserk set notice whether there was a white security sticker at the top (underneath the shrink-wrap)? Mine didn't have one, and I thought it was weird.

More and more anime release are done that way now. MB released ones are a bit sporadic on this. Same thing can be said for quite a few of the recent ADV/Sentai Filmworks releases. It shouldn't be anything you shouldn't be worried about since this is a new/recent release. If it's aging/dated release, they it may have a possibility of being a returned merchandise.

I just received it in the mail(a kiosk order) and there wasn't a sticker at the top. As WTK posted, I wouldn't worry about it since it's a new release.

I picked up Princess Resurrection at BB today for $14.99. I'll have to pick up Part 2 during the DD sale in June because the price at the kiosk is $34.99. That goes for Part 2 of Clannad as well.

SBJ, what's the DD sale? I mean the terms - I can't find anything on an anime sale there in June.

DeepDiscount.com's 20% or 25% sale. They have 2 sales a year. The last one was 25% off. The ones before were 20% off. The next sale should be in June.

Thanks, but this was mentioned earlier this month. It can be found here and it's also tacked on the first post. And today is the last day for this sale.
