suspicious purchase

[dino3333]

I bought some games from frys and they appeared to be factory sealed and everything but the sony sticker thing at the top is missing. I checked all the copies they had and non of them had it either. Then I started to look around at the other games and started to notice that quite a few games dont have the sticker there. Is this normal?

Yeah, Sony recently stopped putting these stickers on their games. Probably to cut back on costs.

I'm glad I know that. I remember the first time I got a GC game, I was like those SOB's resealed these. Then a friend that owned a GC told me.

I noticed stuff like this when I got Atelier Iris.

I think I've read 10 threads with this question by now. Can we sticky this Cheapy? :-)

That only makes resealing and reselling only that much easier for asses on the BAY.

dammit!!! i didnt know this since i havent bought a sealed PS2 game in months... i used to take them all and put them on my wall next to my game collection...

I had to reply to this because I have not seen a new PS2 game without the seal along the top. I have a few sealed games released in the past few months that have the seal. Obviously, I haven't checked every game at the store, especially the Greatest Hits, but when scouring Toys R Us the past few days for deals, I distinctly remember all of the seals staring out at me.

Maybe the manufacturer for the Canadian stock still uses them.

Also, I tried searching for the "10 threads" concerning this topic and I came up with one, unless you read the entire site (I only searched the PS2 relevant forums). :)

I'm glad they stopped it eliminates a step in opening the damn things

And the possibility of getting residue left over for the seals that didn't want to come off cleanly.
