I placed an order on Amazon for two DS games. Pokemon Platinum for me to play and a copy of Korg DS-10 Synthesizer that I was going to keep sealed. Korg DS-10 looks like a complete reseal, mind you this is an order coming from Amazon.com not the marketplace. The more I look at this, the more I am convinced its a reseal, or maybe since its not such a blockbuster title the seal is different, but I don't know.
Does anyone know if some DS games are sealed more shittily than others?
Well this may help for some confirmation:

So this seal is identical to the one I received from amazon.com - looks like complete shit compared to any other sealed game I've gotten. Do you think this is how a factory seal is from XSeed Games?
Are there different types of seals for DS games?

Re: Are there different types of seals for DS games?
You mean how some seals are more flimsy than others? I think that's just how the factory does it. I got a brand new copy of Tokyo Beatdown and it had the flimsy seal, while Platinum had the beefy one. I'm not sure about that specific shrink-wrap type of seal, though.
I know Amazon doesn't sell reseals as new. If the seal looks like that then it came from the vendor in the same condition.

Whats wrong with the seal? Sure diff manufacturers use a different grade and such of material. Dont be so scared, if it looks new, who gives a shit unless its a ton more expensive.

Yes, it's become more commonly lately, especially with DS games.
The "good" seal is called a cigarette style seal (I believe), because it is wrapped like a cigarette carton).
The "bad" kind is shrinkwrap, and is easily duplicated, but some manufacturers are sending them out like this.

Yeah, that's basically what I got. I bought Korg DS-10 to keep sealed and sell in the future. I've got an M3 DS Real, so I can play it if I want. I'll definitely be keeping my amazon.com receipt for whenever I sell it in the future in an attempt to prove its legit.dlmvii wrote:The "bad" kind is shrinkwrap, and is easily duplicated, but some manufacturers are sending them out like this.
