For Your Eyes Only BD Printed over Playstation 3 game label!

I am writing to ask if anyone else has noticed this. I just bought the two Bond BD sets. The disc for For Your Eyes Only has something "interesting" going on with it. The label of the BD disc looks just the same as all the other discs. But upon closer inspection, the label appears to be printed over the disc label for the Playstation 3 game, Skate.

I can't get a picture of it because the Bond label is nicely printed. It is only if you turn it a certain angle that you could see all of the PS3 stuff (game title, PS3 logo, ESRB rating, etc) underneath it.

Are all of the For Your Eyes Only discs like this? Is it common practice? I'm guessing they printed too many "Skate labels" for discs and didn't burn/print them all, and then sold them off. What do you think?

Mine looks normal. I put it up to a light and you can see through to the label and didn't see anything.

Pressing plant probably fired up their label printer while the design from the previous job was still loaded. Rather than throw the batch away, they let them dry and then stamped the correct label over them.

Sounds about right. I wonder how often that happens?

Would the label even be the same size? PS3 games use thicker cases like the UK discs.

Doctorossi, I think your idea might be right.

The label on my DVD copy of Rififi (Criterion) is printed over a disc from one of the seasons of the Roseanne TV show. It's clearly visible if it you look at it from the correct angle. I always wondered how that could happen; it's definitely not a bootleg, as it was ordered new and sealed from DVD Planet.
