Dang what a dilemma you've gotten yourself into. I have to say do the right thing here and return it, but even thinking that makes my inner C'Tard go nutzoid.

Lol yeah. Totally.

I am actually in a moral dilemma. Do I hold fast to the morals I perceive myself to have or use it to my advantage. Lol

Just return it to them as they are some pretty decent guys. I wouldn't be surprised if they tossed in another game along with your replacement copy. :3

I like that they have a warehouse full of replacement copies and also send out an unknown number of additional copies of their "limited" games.

I want a physical copy of Wii U Fatal Frame, so I don't care if there are 50,000 of each 2,000 copy game if they can make my request happen; but I did get a chuckle out of the thought.

I would flip out if they or ANYONE did a physical release of that game for NA.  I am happy it was release YES but as a download?  Even after the UK got a physical copy?  That just made no seance to me.

Lol, that was a surprising pertinent misspelling given the context.

If you plan to open your copy I'd swap with them, if you're just going to keep it sealed then I'd keep the punched out one since technically they are even more uncommon.  Vic Ireland had the same problem with the games he has put out through Gaijinwork. 

Sony employees get proof copies they're supposed to evaluate, but it appears most of them just keep them sealed and flip them on ebay as an extra source of income.  If you think about it, that's an extra $50 or so for a new PS4 game or the like for something that was freely given to them, so they're probably doing quite well  :?

Yeah after I provided the persons eBay ID they checked. It seems the seller has been selling dozens of games all new.


Don't know if I just got someone fired from their job. But it's not like I knew these type of copies of a game existed let alone that it was not suppose to be sold.


As for keeping it sealed or planing to play it. Meh. I only got it because I picked up New N Tasty and found this other game from limited run at $54 instead of the typical $70-80 on the reseller market.

I think I will just send it in to be nice. Maybe like some have said they will toss in another game with it. It will make my trying to pick up these limited physical edition vita games easier.

Some super cheap pick ups. Rounding out that Wii library every little bit I can. I already picked up the new star fox but when I saw someone had already traded in the bonus first run copy of star fox guard and that used it was $8 I figured why not. I had thought it was not for resell but I might be wrong.

Got the PSP AV cable just because. Granted that would mean I dust off the PSP. Have been tempted to pick up a used PSP go for remote playing sort of like the PSVita TV. But since I now have a PS BITA TV not sure if there would be any plus side to that original idea.

Is that a Klonoa game for Wii? I didn't realize the Wii had a game in that series available.

Yes it is a remake of the first game.

What can I say Joe got me interested in the series on the game sack episode he did.

Have yet to get the OS1 game or the PS2 sequel. The GBA game is a maybe.

I have the PS2 version but haven't really played it yet. This year at MGC I picked up the Japanese PS1 version. It's way cheaper than the overpriced US release and easily playable despite the Japanese text. Go for that one instead.

Just a heads up. That Batman Vita game is unplayable without a PS4 dualshock controller.

Nice.

Although I remember asking the game stop employee if he knew the vita game I was buying worked for the ps tv.

His response was "they all work"


No. No they don't. It's actually a big issue with the mini system with most people. Granted there seems to be a hack now but that just made finding a system with firm ware below 3.55 a pain. Granted now that it is a legacy system and once Sony stops all support and patches for it someone is bound to come up with a way to hack it perminitly.
