My copy of the "City of Heroes Going Rogue - Original Soundtrack" arrived today.
It's just what I expected. A shrink wrapped jewel case with a CD inside. The CD cover artwork is the same from the advertisement on Amazon. There are no actual liner notes -- just a list of tracks with the duration of each. The disc is not a CD-R and looks almost like any other mass manufactured CD. If you look closely, it appears there is a different in coloring about half way up the diameter of the disc but that could be my imagination.
I've purchased several manufactured on demand discs from Amazon and the Time Warner store. Quality wise, it looks about the same as all the others.
It's true that professional packaging doesn't mean that the seller has the actual rights to the product. I'm going to let Amazon do the worrying about that for me. Because if you think about it, you can never be sure who really owns the rights to anything you buy.
