fail packaging

[tsukikage]

I know I'm a bit OCD about my anime/manga collection (as with many other things in life), but my Code Geass LE pt. 3 arrived today, and... The CDs are really bugging me. The first OST was a digipak, and the first two sound episodes were in regular-width jewel cases. The second OST and third sound episode? Half-width jewel cases... I wondered if this was because I got a "second pressing", which would be depressing because I could have potentially avoided this situation, as well as a relief because I could maybe find properly packaged versions to buy online, but from the bit of searching I did it looks like that's just how they released it. Which is even more frustrating. I hate to say it, but I prefer digipak to half-width jewel cases. Awkward shelf + no spines to read = frustrated Nastassja. I hate the direction the US anime market is (consumers are?) taking... :-/

When you have a moment, could you take and email me the pictures of the boxset (just the front, sides, and back) so I know what it looks like? I'm looking to order it from Best Buy and they seem to have one side of the boxset pictured and every other place has only the other side. Just don't want to be buying the wrong thing and having to go through the return process. Thanks!

For part 3?

If you're looking at this, yes, that's what the other side of the box looks like.
