This is how my $100 collector’s edition was delivered from @PlayStation
As a collector and massive LoU fan, this is severely disappointing. @AskPlayStation 🤬 pic.twitter.com/ybcUlUgQry

Received #TheLastofUsPartI Firefly Edition, but I am EXTREMELY disappointed with the poor packaging used by @PlayStation, resulting in damage! C’mon @AskPlayStation you need to do better, there was ZERO packing material. People paid collector level pricing for this! @Naughty_Dog pic.twitter.com/vw28dhzSOz

Very similar for me. Mine the flap of the envelope literally could not even reach the other side, so they stuck it directly on the box top itself, tons of nasty residue from that even ignoring all the actual damage otherwise. Very poor experience from PlayStation Direct. pic.twitter.com/hvPFpuqw7y

I am so upset right now. I paid $107.99 for The Last of Us Part 1 Firefly Edition and it came in damaged. I can't even get a replacement. I can only get a refund even though I really wanted it. 😭@AskPlayStation @PlayStation @Naughty_Dog @Neil_Druckmann pic.twitter.com/VXztOym88l

While it might be easy to blame the courier for this, it seems Sony has been sending out the packages using different packaging for some. Some users have reported getting their limited edition is a well protected box, while others note that they came in a thin poorly insulated bubble wrap envelope. For those who have received their package in a damage condition, unfortunately per the number of reports, Sony is not issuing any replacements. That may be due to the limited quantity that the company said that they would run, and understandably, buyers are a bit upset.
Hopefully, future shipments of the special edition will be delivered unharmed to buyers. If you’re still deciding whether to get the a game, head on over here for our full review.
