DK | 258 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 That HAS to be a sticker. Can you take the cut box out of the rental case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Tank | 956 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) The back looks like a Permastruct label and has the same legal language at the bottom. Permatruct labels have a black font though. It could be some other rental label like Quik Play, I think it's what it is called, or some of the other rental sticker brands. EDIT: I completely focused on the title and the pictures. I have no idea what that "First Run" circle on the art is.

ThePhleo | 2,184 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 It's a sticker, has a super faint shadow around one edge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense, but I’m never satisfied with this sort of filtering/processing. Compression in several portions of the image capture/analysis can lead to so many points of unintended artifacting and ringing. Is it likely that it’s a sticker? Possibly? Does this prove that it’s sticker? No. Is this likely a sticker from what all of us generally know? Probably so!

ThePhleo | 2,184 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I’ll admit I’m not an expert on image artifacts or digital forensics. But I think it’s pretty damning evidence! I’d actually love to be proven wrong so I can be motivated to look into how actually *can* do something like this the right way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably so! its not a sticker. i can take it out and show you guys. my thought is someone photocopied the piece that had the sticker on it. but idk if it could be done that well. i guess i should have mentioned the insert art is not a box.

ThePhleo | 2,184 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Can you take a higher resolution image? Maybe even scan the thing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 4,895 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Yeah, that was my guess that it could have been a rescan or something of the box or the art with a sticker on it. If that art was scanned, then it wouldn't appear as a sticker, but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 The video store up the street from me used to put that same sticker on new movies. I'd say it's either a cut up box with a rental sticker on it or a color copy of one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8bitsupremacy | 208 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) It's just your run-of-the-mill rental store cutbox. I don't see anything more here. Yeah, it's a generic sticker the store probably slapped on everything they rented out. Edited October 21, 2020 by 8bitsupremacy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8bitsupremacy | 208 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Just now, docile tapeworm said: what does that mean "$3 first run"? Maybe, "first checkout" from the store? Like, $3 for your first rental, to bait you in to giving them business and getting a membership, idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a sticker that they put on new releases of movies and games. It seems like older rentals were $1.99, but new releases were $3 which was why they had that sticker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
