theres been alot of these on ebay recently. before they were just reproducing first party titles but ever since GTA chinatown wars came out, they started to shift into the 3rd party titles that are going for some decent amount.
whats even worse is the fact that theres alot of buyers on ebay that can't tell the difference. theres more than 10 million DS & DS lites out there that will play these bootlegs so there is a huge market for these bootlegs. im actually afraid that these games might start to hit amazon pretty soon..
the reason im bringing this up here is that i'd like to know if any of you have bought a bootleg ds game either from ebay or amazon or at a gamestop. if you have a dsi and youve purchased one of these, chances are the game will not work. im pretty sure they'll try to do something about that as we speak. if you have these, please let me know and if you can provide pictures please post them.
4 years ago, GameSetWatch created this useful information on how to tell if a DS game is bootleg. its slightly outdated as some of these carts have changed. some games are even sealed just like a normal ds title. the only difference is that theres alot of discoloration on the cover since these are probably scanned covers.
