Hitchcock Punchouts?

I got the Alfred Hitchcock Collection Volume 2 off Ebay (The Man Who Knew Too Much, Rear Window, and a disk of AH Presents) and the cases inside have hole-punches through the UPC. On music, this means its a promo, but never saw this on a DVD before. Is this a promo, or did they just punch out the UPC since there is a proper UPC on the slipcase? Anyone else have one of these sets with punchouts?

Lots of "AH Collections" so this is the specific one I got:

Can't argue with the price I got, but just wonderin'

I'm not sure, but I bought the same thing off ebay about a year ago for, like 12 bucks and it had the same problem. It also had a slit down the spine. I just wanted the AH presents. It's probably from the same guy.

I ran into that problem with the two pack of Bourne Identity/Spy Game when I bought it. Maybe Universal does it on purpose so retailers can't break up the packs and sell them seperately

Yup, that's it. The DVDs from the Criterion Hitchcock box set are also holepuched, but the DVDs bought individually do not. Same with several other box sets.
