Amazon Warehouse Deals...

Sadly, I could not rate the packaging itself, but that's a poor rating for being "Like New". Disc is in excellent shape, but good lord.

And yeah, whole case basically falls apart when opened. In fact that sticker on the front was holding it together apparently.

Damaged during shipping?

I always keep a stash of empty jewel cases nearby, because I end up with stuff like that all too often.

I guess so, but since it's Amazon itself I still left a sour rating. :P

I should pickup some empty jewel cases myself. I remember going to great measure years ago to get some double cases, so I was able to swap out a lot of my RPG's for better cases.

I'm not surprised being a jewel case and all, but they could have tried a little harder beyond a small bubble wrapped envelope package.

I have Unlimited Saga coming in from the warehouse too, hopefully it's in better shape. :lol:

I hate to break it to ya man, but even a pristine Unlimited Saga is gonna be in "rough shape" from a gameplay standpoint.

I haven't bought any in a while, but I used to buy them from Amazon in lots of ten or more. I know CD Warehouse sells empty cases as well.

It seems pretty risky to try and get something like that online. When I bought the double cases years ago, a few of them were beat up when I got it.

Over the years I have successfully bought hundreds of blank CD and DVD cases online, both from Amazon and eBay. It's totally doable. They usually ship shrinkwrapped bound in bundles within cardboard boxes and arrive 100% okay.

Yeah AWD has a bad tendency to put brittle CD cases and games with easily crushable boxes in bubble mailers. Been lucky with most of my games recently last issue I had was Legend of Mana which luckily only got one not to serious pressure crack on the back. However a month or two ago I bought Sim City 2000 for the GBA CIB and it was pancaked when I got it. It was only $3 shipped though so no biggie.

If you ever get anything beat to hell or missing parts you can always return it to Amazon at no charge you basically hit return they give you a UPS label and you can toss it right back in the box it came in and send it on back. They have been known to ban people from the site for repeated returns though so it's best to use them sparingly.

Nice grab on TRAG I was very tempted to pick it up myself after watching some gameplay videos.
