Can a new NTSC PS3 Game come with a PlayStation tear strip

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

It’s very interesting because he said one of his supply sources is Dubai. So could be a middle east version. However, the back of the game looks exactly like a North American one I see selling on Ebay. Same bar code numbers too.

I didn’t want this game. I was just trying to establish if he was a trustworthy vendor. He has a lot of sealed PS3 games that I wanted. I don’t see why, if he wanted to sell re-sealed games as original factory sealed games he would choose PAL games with a tear strip when he could just simply reseal American non tear games. Adding a tear strip is just a lot more work. So I concluded that the games he has are the real deal and this one might have been passed on to him as he is a vendor after all and does buy games of customers too.
