Remember if you pay for the Archival option which gives a 2-5 days turnaround you are automatically upgraded to the UV case free of charge.

Otherwise the UV case upgrade is a $15 premium.

so it was MGS2 Substance, that can still be brought new for very cheap...however paid $600 for that is stupid then?

I don't know about the PAL version but the NTSC sealed is extremely rare and expensive. I'd say about $250 to $300.

Yes I've seen that listing too and its not actually new. If you read the description it says in all lowercase "missing wrapper" lol. MGS2 itself is about $100 new these days.

Wow, thats a very good price for the PAL one, I've seen them go for much higher. But there is a difference, here is the diesnake listing

During the month of July in 2008, after the release of Metal Gear Solid 4, a sealed copy of this game hit a record price of $412.50 on ebay.

And thats not even graded! And 2 years ago!

yeah sealed MGS stuff tends to fetch a pretty penny.
