I've also seen new games that have had the Y Fold removed and replaced with shrinkwrap, all without tampering with the Sony seal. Similarly, in the old days, before Sony did the UPC punch out or case spine punch, you could buy new games directly from companies like Atlus that didn't have the Sony seal up top or a Y-Fold and those were sent to Atlus like that direct from Sony's authorized replication facilities. They are clearly new and sealed, but not factory sealed.
Again, nothing new. EB/Babbage's/etc ALL did the same exact thing with every sort of game, whether disc-based or cart or floppy or whatever. We're sort of getting off track at this point.
