D4 product quality

Not the actual music, I don't want to argue with the haters, but the presentation of the disc. I'm asking Britons if it's a cheap physical product. At least the one I bought in Canada is pathetic, for a PSB product. Compared to the glossy and sexy D3, with a nice silver graphic CD label, D4 came in a cheap plastic case and had an extremely uninteresting CD graphic, plus the colour printing on the label was low-grade and blurry.

It's just kinda weird, it's the cheapest PSB product they've done; Concrete, Fundamantal, D3, PopArt, even Battleship had some effort and quality to them. It's especially odd as it's a great cover, but it's just presented cheaply, so is it the same in Britain?

Wonder if Canada got the European releases for D4. Can you tell me, if there is any 'Made in Canada' or 'EMI Canada' sign on the disc/sleeve.

UK release seems fine to me (the cover quality). And as I posted elsewhere the exclusive slip case from HMV.co.uk is very nice. It has a matt finish and gives it the quality finish your one seems to be missing.

Yeah, it says made in canada, I didn't realize they had the authority to cheapen a product to save money, as it's obviously not gonna be a big seller here, but I thought everyone has to make it a certain way; the PSB themselves have said they try to make the presentation a bit special, and they always have. It seems, at least in Canada, the company has undermined the PSB for the first time in an effort to make as much money as possible from a low seller.

hmm then some European sleeves where 'cheaper products' also in the past (e.g. missing water drops and glossy effects on the Before and Se a vida é CD sleeves)

got mine from HMV with extra sleeve. also had some suspicion about quality of inner sleeve... plastic case seems coming from 10for€1 shelf.

D4 absolutely is not worth that money... saw in Riga's music stores for about 12 pounds.
but music is ok... worth to grab from peer sites
