I emailed the information to Starmax yesterday (same I'd already sent to YesAsia), with pictures of the damage added. Have neither received a reply, nor a 'bounce'-message.
I tried to send the same message to YesAsia as a sort of backup, but all the email adresses they've used re this issue are now 'no reply'-adresses, including the one I was asked to use when they first sent out emails regarding this.
I ended up leaving a message on their online customer support page saying I didn't think they'd handled this very well.

For those on a tight budget you can get the new DTS NTSC Hong Kong Region 3 for around US$14 shipped from here

I got back from Florida today. As I walk in the door, I see the package from Starmax on my couch. Thank God! I did not want to be worrying about this for another month.

We have full details, and shots of the front and back cover art, for the February 21st release of the 2-disc UK Old Boy Special Edition here.

Old Boy will come housed in a 2-disc Special Edition set, and will be presented with an anamorphic 2.35:1 widescreen transfer, and both Dolby Digital-EX 6.1 and DTS-ES 6.1 Korean auido tracks.

Extra features (all English subbed where needed) on the first disc will include a director's audio commentary; a director and cinematographer's audio commentary; a director and cast audio commentary; a fourth commentary by film critic Kim Yong Jin; a UK exclusive interview with Park Chan-Wook; and both UK and Korean trailers.

The second disc includes 2 making-of documentaries; 9 deleted scenes (with optional commentaries); another interview with Park Chan-Wook; cast & crew interviews; footage from the Cannes Film Festival; and a short film entitled Memory Of Old Boy.
The article also has the covers for the upcoming Sympathy For Mr Vengeance Collector's Edition

I received an email from KoreanDVDs that Starmax is sending out another batch of digipack replacements on January 12th.

In other related Oldboy news, the film is playing the Sundance Film Festival at the end of January, which should raise its US profile considerably. Oldboy has a US release date of March 25th (per IMDB).

that can't be right, because Yesasia was "handling" the problem for us up until the first week of January.

My emails an odd one as my Tin is mucked up bugger as I am stuffed!



We are sorry about the copper case's problem what you said, but unfortunately, A/S is impossible.

If you can't possibly use it, then you can exchange for a new one or ask for a refund where you have bought it.

If you want exchange or refund, please let us know that.

If there is no e-mail about exchange or refund,

We'll send the damaged DIGIPAK to you



We are very sorry to suggest such this way.



Thank you.

Still no email from Starmax for me. Hopefully, they just mailed the replacements out and didn't email me about it. Seems like they have done that in the past to others.
