V for Vendetta Best Buy Exclusive question

In my version there seems to be a really bad grammar mistake or just bad printing.

In my version, on the back, line 5 of the pargraph that starts off "From the Creators of The Matrix trilogy comes... etc", "he's" is very tight on the kerning between the letters and not only that but the apostrophe seems to be in the wrong space between the e and s.

Was wondering if this is just bad printing on my copy or if its happened to any of the owners of this set.

Also, dvdaficionado doesn't have this title listed as OOP. Was wondering if it's still in production or not since I saw this going in ebay as rare and OOP already.

Thanks.

I'm not sure about the grammer mistake but my friend works at best buy and he told me that when they got them on the release date they just flew off the shelves and he was barely able to secure one for himself. However, now he tells me they got a new shipment in with lots more copies. So it isnt OOP yet

Yes, that's what it looks like on my box too. The e and s look squished together, almost on top of each other, and the '(apostrophe) looks like it's connected to the top of the s.
