    Default Question about Virtual Boy games packaging.

    I just got a few brand new japanese games for the Virtual Boy but they are not sealed inside a plastic wrap, just a bare cardbox.
    Is it normal or should Jp Virtual Boy games come sealed in a protective wrap?

    I know for sure that the games are brand new and have never been touched but I find it a little weird that they are not inside a plastic.

    My VB imports didn't have plastic wrap either.

    My VB imports were wrapped in plastic, but I bought them at EB. I think it was illegal for them to sell those games, but hey. EB is above the law!

    And haven't you been here long enough to know that DogP and TheRedEye are the VB specialists??

    None of my VB imports were wrapped, but you could tell they were unopened due to the box folds. I also had a full case of Japanese Teleroboxer games at one time and inside none of them were wrapped. Not saying that's how it was, just how the games I've had were.

    US games were plastic wrapped with hangtags on the back.

    Yup... VB imports were never shrinkwrapped from the factory... some stores and stuff did, but of course that doesn't add anything to the value.

    Thanks guys, just wanted to make sure. The games are obviously untouched (no crease on the box) but it is always nice to make sure anyway.
