Apparently the Japanese version is out this month and will have lossless PCM tracks as it will be distributed by Buena Vista. Time to import this one. Noel.
You have to check the status grid at the bottom of the back of the box. If it is red, you have the new version.
You're right in saying the new pressings neither have D2R1 or D2R2 on the innner-hub.
Also, you can insert the DVD into a DVD-ROM drive and open the VIDEO_TS folder. If the file...
OK - release day. I went to HMV and EVERY COPY had the non-peelable sticker on the cardboard box, not the shrink wrap.
However, over at Sunrise Records every copy DID NOT have the title/barcode sticker, just shrink wrapped.
What's up with that?!

------------------
Yes - the title sticker on the top was stuck to the paper box with permanent glue. I must have a freak box since it has not happened to anyone else yet - we'll see when everyone gets their copies tomorrow.
I'm still going to persue it with warner though.

Anyone have a phone number for Warner Customer Service? I'm going to go through them.
If I had purchased the Disc from a big store I would have surely returned it, but I got it from a Mom and Pop store and don't really want to hassle them for something that is not their fault.

Guys,
Am I the only one who is a victim of this major screw-up? If it's not just me, we should contact WB about a replacement box.
I'm not referring to the peelable security sticker - this is the plastic barcode label where the box will rip if you try to remove it.
