Carbon_Lancer Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Has anyone seen PS3 Region 1 (NA) games sealed like Region 2 (EU) with the PS3 logo cellophane on the bottom? I think Asian games come like that too, but has anyone ever seen a region 1 with it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghanupher Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 It was posted by someone on the Facebook page of PS3 collectors. Never said it was 100% real, but the TC asked if someone as ever seen anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pic that you guys see my brother in law got additional pictures before the listing was removed and the seller is no longer a registered user. It is a different copy from the other NBA elite 11 that sold 2 days ago Just by seeing the ps3 cellophane was a little higher than the other, but both copies are selling from Russia and Poland..... I'm just wondering if you’ll think this is legit or fake????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most copies I’ve seen have a holographic nba sticker and also a NBA Jam stick on most copies, since this is so rare maybe some didn’t get that or could it be fake? I think it could be real, but the 2 missing stickers and a EU looking seal on an NA game are some red flags... just was wondering what the gaming community thinks....

Do you have picture links for reference? I tried pasting a photo, forgot I gotta upload it to a site first, I’m talking about NBA Elite 11 picture in the 2nd post, it’s sealed, it has the ps3 cellophane towards the middle/bottom which is usually only done for Europe/Asia/Japan sealed games, so that’s why I was asking if anyone has ever seen it on a NTSC Region 1 game, I’ll upload a few photos later so I can get people’s thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghanupher Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I think it's safe to say it's a counterfeit copy. The reason it exists doesn't mean it is indeed legit. Nevertheless, wrappings don't mean much these days. I've seen Y folded wrapped NTSC games that are not new. Others that would come in shrinking cellophane that are new, but for some reason were resealed. So there are my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
