24 and defective/lousy packaging (1 Viewer)

[David Lambert]

Out of curiosity, how much was it at Cotsco?

Look here!

The copy I got from Costco had Disc 1 loose... but luckily, it wasn't scratched up.

Sounds like this IS terrible packaging if this many people are having problems with loose discs.

That 6 disker is wild. I'm needing to order more singles from Inet anyway so will have to include a few of these. Printing any custom cover art will be a pain though as the thicker spine will run the page past an 8 1/2 x 11. Is there a such thing as legal photo paper?

My case was fine, all discs in securely... but I had REAL glue to attach the back paper.. just like with Speed box and Simpsons Season 2 box VERY sad.. I don't like it!

Maybe that's the Canadian packaging. Brutal.

You know (hint to the artistically inclined) a cover with the R2 art for a six disc case would look mighty fine . . . .

Can someone post a photo of the packaging?

I went ahead and picked 24 up and my disc two was also a floater. Some of the other were loose. I think the problem is that this pack uses a different center hub from most digi-packs. Before, people had problems getting discs off the hubs. Now they won't stay on.
Packaging aside, this has to be one of the greatest television shows that I've ever seen. I'm about half way through the season. I no longer sit down if I only have time for one episode. I know I'll end up watching three or four. With as good as this show is, they could have sent it to me in a brown paper bag and I still would have payed $50 for it.

You should have been one of the reviewers.

Actually I review DVD's and films in the newspaper I work for, so this was my DVD of the week. I hope people will buy this to show support for the show. I understand the ratings weren't spectacular last season. Hopefully season 2 will come out right after it finishes it's TV run.

I was just joking about the "brown paper bag" comment. Did you read Ron's HTF Review? That's dangerously close to what his came in.

My case is perfect. I'm quite happy. $40 at Costco. The sticker on the front announcing season 2 convinced me to tune in and not wait for the DVDs this year.

Great job Fox!

Despite how much I love this show, I'm not going to watch the second season on TV. I just couldn't handle the suspense from week to week. I like being able to skip right to the next episode
Plus, with my hectic schedule, I'd probably end up missing a few episodes, which is also bad.

So, anyone up to the challenge of working on some custom cover art? Something simple like all black with just the numerals 24 or something? (Gosh, I miss not having DVDCoverArt online right now)

Oh come on chad its more fun watching it week to week. Its the only show in a while that has me at the end of each episode saying "Damn have to wait another week" I love it. Cant wait till 9 tonight. The new thrill ride begins.

Well you know what? Why don't you help the poor guy out and find him mirror sites?
