MGS4 Unsealed

Usama · 28-06-2008, 8:28 AM

I ordered MGS4 for ShopTo.net on Thursday, it came today. It came unsealed and without one of thoes covers.

Is this just me?

Mine came from shopto sealed and with the cardboard cover.

Is it a uk copy? They can sell euro copies...

The cover has finger marks on, but the disc is fine.

Look's like the the UK version.

Usama · 28-06-2008, 1:01 PM

What do you think i should do? Get a new one from Shopto will they do that?

winstano · 28-06-2008, 6:43 PM

If the disc's fine, why bother sending it back?

I think a fair few people's have been unsealed but in the slipcase... Nothing to worry about

Rounds off the package with that extra bit of class!

I'm not sure why Sporran got his sealed but generally all Konami games are shipped to the distributors and retailers unsealed. That is the way Konami ships their games.

Usama · 28-06-2008, 10:53 PM

What's ShopTo's customer service like? This is my first order with them.

I second that, I love that the MGS series adds all sorts of nice little touches to the games.

russd1978 · 29-06-2008, 9:28 AM

Mine was unsealed with cardboard sleeve - as moogle says thats the way Konami ship their games.

Usama · 29-06-2008, 11:46 AM

What should i do ask for the slip or ask for a new game?

Hubba-EX · 29-06-2008, 1:26 PM

I think MGS4 has the best box art this gen so far (not including any special editions).

And with the cardboard sleeve it looks even better.

Ask for the card sleeve, the worst they can say is no, or return your one for a replacement. If you have to return it and you have to cover postage then I wouldnt bother chasing it up - so long as the disc/case is all fine - and you did get it for a really good price aswell.

JackM · 29-06-2008, 1:38 PM

Well, its something that Konami/Hideo had wanted you to have with your purchase. So they've pretty much sent you an incomplete product and you have every right to demand it.

Why on earth would you want a new game, what possible difference could it make to you if it's working

You could always write to your MP

What is the games age age rating my copy has a 15 on. Some copys on Youtube have a 18+ age rating on.. And the copys with the 18+ age rating are sealed like this one... Why do some have 15 and some have 18?

I took some pictures of my copy is it the UK version?

Sorry for the picture quality I quickly took them with my phone.

JackM · 29-06-2008, 8:28 PM

Mine is a 15 too (shame about the big fat marker on the sleeve).

UK Ed.

SparkShot · 29-06-2008, 8:28 PM

whats the product number on the spine of the case?

Mines BLES00246.

Got mine from asda so would expect mine to be a uk version.

I must have the UK version.

Do you know anything about the other one with the 18 rating on?

Sporran, what age rating is yours 18 or 15?

JackM · 29-06-2008, 9:32 PM

Just watched the video (I know, should have done that first ... doh!)

He's American!

So I think that solves that little riddle.

But don't they have a differnt cover art? That's the cover are we have...

Hm, I'm not sure to be honest. But its definitely not a UK copy as it has to have that red marker that we have to declare its certificate.

Maybe he's Canadian? (I find it hard to differentiate between the accents).

I watched the video again, and I think I heard him mention it was a European copy. So it could be from anywhere on the continent.

Maby it's the European version. Same cover as are's but we have a differnt age reting so are's is differnt because of the age rating. If you get what im saying.
