In case anyone was wondering about the contents of the game, I got Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+ today and it came with the game, case, cover art which is reversible, two sticker sheets, an individual sticker of Isaac on a ripped piece of paper, and a manual. The manual is blatantly a rip-off of the original Legend of Zelda manual, which is pretty cool and funny. Also, there was a sticker on the shrinkwrap of Isaac that said "sticker inside"

Unfortunately the manual was not very well secured in the case and the bottom is now frayed a bit. Also, the clear plastic that holds the box art was a bit warped on my copy as if it got wet or something. Hope it's just an isolated incident :/





Launch copies of.Bomberman were the same with the shit plastic shrink-wrap and warped outer plastic on the case. The second shipment we got had perfect cases and were a standard Y fold seal. Probably from different manufacturing facilities

Grabbed one. We shall see. Newly launched seller makes me kinda nervous.

My Isaac had the same crap wrap. All copies of Just Dance that I have seen are the same. Man the manual looks great in the case, more games should include a manual

22 dollars still seems high for that game. Even if I owned a switch which I will probably within a year at somepoint. I dont see myself spending more than 5-10 on this game. Reminds me alot of the wii tech demo type games at launch like wii play that were bargain bin games later once they hit second hand market and werent bundled with those wiimotes anymore.

I guess if you have a switch its alot better than paying 50. After zelda you gotta play something I guess.

The Amazon page for 1-2 Switch is riddled with "Just Launched" users selling the game for like $4.00 plus shipping. Something's not right about that...

Well isn't that interesting. Bootlegs? Perhaps some fell off the back of a truck?

It just seems fishy to me for sure. All these different sellers somehow all have the game for $4-$5? I'm not curious enough to try to order one though haha.

I wouldnt trust em. I gambled on somethin similar and tried to get Color Splash for a fraction of the price from one of these just launched cheap games Amazon types and got ripped off. I did get my money back in the end though, just not worth the hassle.

Was the seal on the game a shrink-wrap type of seal? If so it could've been done using heat, which could've caused the warping of the plastic you describe :/

Those listings are the newest way to mass collect addresses for marketing and who knows what other purposes. I wouldn't waste the time.

I think it looks interesting.  It's $30 in Canada (love that conversion).  I know EB Games has it for preorder but I didn't realize it was exclusive to EB / Gamestop.

I can't get over how much it looks like a prototypical free to play phone game. I'll need overwhelmingly positive reviews to push me to think it's a real console game.

The plastic on my Binding of Isaac was messed up and it was wrapped weirdly, not a clean Y seal like with 1-2 Switch and Zelda. Just got Bomberman and it was wrapped similarly to Binding of Isaac, but I didn't have the issue of the plastic getting warped. The Bomberman packaging seemed to be a little looser and have air bubbles poked into it, whereas Binding of Isaac didn't. Hopefully this doesn't become a regular thing with 3rd party games...

I stuck the "Issac Stickers Inside" sticker off the shrink wrap and on the case tself.

As for the sticker sheets, apparently there was a very bizzare and unfortunate accident:

http://atariage.com/forums/topic/...

I was somewhat drunk when I unboxed and first started playing it. The following morning, I found the torn remains of the stickers on the floor by my bed. I recovered most of the pieces and taped what remained of them back together. I asked my fiance if she knew anything about it, which she denied.

I can't magine either myself or my fiance wontonly destroying the stickers. If they were ineed torn like this inside the case before i opened it (and I somehow didn't notice them falling out), then that is a cruel joke...
