Am I the only one who noticed?

Am I the only one who noticed how crappy the Limited Edition packaging was? I mean there was no booklet, no real case to protect the package from damage. In my collection, this packaging won't stand the test of time. The wrap-around "poster" is the closest thing the edition has to a cover, but I really want to hang it up in my room. But also, the credits are on the side that the poster is, what the hell? If this was supposed to be a poster, why can't I hang it up? Why didn't you add a case? Why didn't you throw in a booklet? There was such surprisingly little content for this package to be worth $50. The only thing that could make it worth it would be the Mayhem Tour VIP code, but of course a lot of people didn't receive the code when promised. But seriously, for the most expensive version of the album, this is by far the cheapest, littlest durability package of the 3. I am ashamed that I purchased it instead of the standard version, would have saved a lot of money, and the package would have lasted longer.

cbssi-
Wow! You read my mind! My poster even has a line in the face, where the fold is, so it's not really "framable" quality. Even the TTFintheA Limited Edition package had a hard, outer cover to slide it into. NOT to mention, the whole Promo Code fiasco- don't get me started on THAT!

I still love the guys, and the new music sounds awesome, but I'm very disappointed with Warner Brothers. I will be wiser, next time around.

I agree

yes, I agree, a lyrics booklet certainly would have been nice, and the credits on the bottom of the poster would have been better suited on the other side, and lastly, no case to slide this bad boy into?! I also was very shocked when I opened up my LE. If nothing else, give me a case!

Just a heads up...WB reimbursed my shipping cost. $7.99. Not much, but better than nothing. A little lube for the dry fucking they gave us all. Just send them an e-mail, and let them know how pissed you are!!!!

DEATH IS ONLY THE BEGINNING!

We were jipped. Plain and simple. No one was even notified (at least the majority of us) of the R.S.V.P. Instructions to be able to reserve a slot for the VIP Rock Star Lounge. And now, no one can even do that! We all followed all instructions, and nothing.

So yeah. The money was not really worth the heartache here. Would of been just fine with the standard CD to begin with if you ask me.
