So I recently purchased a copy of Renegades on Blu-ray from an eBay seller and found that the bar code on the back, under the factory shrink wrap, has holes punched in it. What does this mean?

I believe it usually means that it was a screener copy. Not sure on that though. I've bought DVDs like that before. There's usually no difference though.

So is this something that should have been noted in the seller's description? Did I purchase a legitimate copy? The only experience that I had with something like this was a game I won in a contest which came with a cut through the box at the bar code area, presumably to ensure that people didn't try to return it for money at a store. Something about this transaction doesn't feel right and I guess I just need some reassurance.

I'm not 100 percent sure and by no means an expert, but I would say its a legit copy. It may be a promo that the seller won or the store was given. I haven't seen that many pirated blu rays and they're a bit hard to bootleg or so I've heard.

That being said, personally if I was the seller I would have noted it.

If it's like CDs, then it should mean it is a promo copy.

Like what fast draw mentioned, it may have been a promotion item in which it is very common that they put a hole punch in the bar code. I believe it may be for store inventory reasons, not wanting to add to actual inventory.

I used to work in a music/video store... that means it is a promotional copy, not meant for resale. It is just like the regular version, you just get the holes in the barcode.

Thanks for all the replies. The seller said he didn't notice but offered to take some money off the price. Since I can't return it to a store if there's an issue, I might counter with a slightly higher discount amount.

Dude that is BS. It is totally legit. Don't start money grubbing and trying to get a better deal. That is what make ebay lame. You got exactly what you intended to buy.
