Ultimate Matrix query?

Just bought the US Ultimate Matrix Collection second-hand on HD-DVD from Amazon marketplace. Bit disappointed with the seller as "used - as new" clearly translates as "used - and you can tell" - very battered cardboard slipcase

Can anyone who has bought this new tell me this - is it just the slipcase, 4 cases and 5 disks? ie, no booklets or anything in the cases or the slipcase?

Feeling a bit short-changed at the moment. Can anyone tell me how a brand new set should have come?

TIA

I have the HD DVD version of ' Ultimate Matrix Collection ' which consists of ...

One Sleeve containing Four Boxes Which are Three HD DVD s containing the films and One 2 Disk ' The Matrix Experience ' 2 Disk Databank. Theres no room in the sleeve for any printed material and my Box Set came sealed but had to be opened so that I could make sure that it did contain disks. Since I have almost decided to go Blu Ray exclusive I may yet be selling this set which is in pristine condition and I don't like to think of what your vendor can have done to produce ' very battered cardboard slipcase ' very suspicious .. maybe bought from a car boot sale and then re-sold to you?

Just discovered a 5 digit number written in black marker on the inside of the case behind Disk 1 - ex-rental perhaps?
