Back to the Future Boxset - Bad Art on Discs?

Just a quick question to those of you who might own BTTF. I got a used copy a couple of days ago. I noticed that the artwork on the DVDs themselves is blury (almost looks like bad photoshopped pirated artwork, IMHO). The printing on the DVD ("all rights reserved", etc.) looks sharp and clean, but the artwork is really fuzzy - almost out of focus. Can anyone verify that theirs looks the same way? I'm sorry if this has been brought up before, but I'm a bit nervous...

Thanks.

Don't worry about it. The poorly-photoshopped-looking artwork on the disks is just another mark of poor quality from Universal Studios.

Seriously, that's how the studio released them. Your disks are fine.

greatjedi, you are great. Thanks. It really does look like crappy photoshop and a guy from China made these, though... (no offense to any of our fine Chinese, American-Chinese, Asian-American, Asian-European, Asian, or any other ethnic background, race, religion, sex, republican, democrat, or non-denominational groups, subgroups, sects, or people, either living or dead...)

Just out of interest, are your disks the corrected V2 ones?

Yeah the disks do look pretty bad. The card board packaging isn't that great either.

Fok,

I don't know. Can you tell from the discs themselves? Yeah, I'm really sick of cardboard packaging in general. I much prefer my M*A*S*H TV show packaging to BTTF or Friends...

Yep, there should be a small v2 printed on the disks (near the edge). I think its after the word copyright.

I just got my V2s in the mail last week. I haven't opened them, but they are still blurry and look pretty lame. Either way, it only took them about 2 weeks to replace my disks. But that was before they were busy replacing the Monster Legacy disks that I've been hearing so many people have had trouble with.
