My Duo that I got back then, the game was shrink wrapped. The manuals were separate from the jewel case, just like the listing. It is possible that not all were shrink wrapped, and here is why I say that. Recently, I bought a few sealed games that came in boxes. A couple of the games, inside the box that was shrink wrapped, were also shrink wrapped. One of them the manual was outside of the jewel case that was shrink wrapped in a sealed box. I just found that weird.
