Warcraft 3 Cd Is Blank?

I just picked up WC 3 from circuity city . I got the one with the girl wearing purple on the cover funny thing is the game cd itself works fine BUT... theres no graphics on the cd itself. Its just a plain looking memorex CDR(like the ones where you buy in the 100 packs) with no WARCRAFT 3 name on it just blank cdr with the memorex label on it. Is there something wrong here i mean a blank game cd with no graphics or WARCRAFT 3 title on it is very strange!

Yikes, that really sucks. I got it recently from costco with the same cover. The CD does have a label on it and installed fine.

No no, you misunderstood me. I said I just got the same warcraft 3 box as you. The actual CD was official with a label and all. It was not a burned Memorex cdr. I hope you can exchange yours.
