    @ Youra_ha Yes, I don't even have a Xbox 360, I will keep this sealed HAHA

    I did get the Zavvi limited edition but unfortunately I have to return it because its got all squashed, ripped and bashed up, it looks like they played football with my limited edition and used the shipping box for a goal lol

    I saw on a youtube video that they send it in a box that is too small for the game. I scared about receiving mine as I shipped it to South Africa.
    Do they actually replace it if it's damaged?

    Here in South Africa we fall under the UK region. I hope it's ok.

    Hi BamBoo,

    If you’ll allow, I’ve always had a slight problem believing that the ‘Metal Gear Solid demo’ is actually correct ~ for two main reasons. Firstly, (please correct me if I’m wrong) the registration number on the side and back of the inlay (SLES 01370) does not match the registration number of the demo disc inside (SLED 01775?). Secondly, the inlay used is exactly the same type of design used for PlayStation promo games.

    I’ve taken some photos to illustrate this. It’s common for promo games released late in the PlayStation’s life to have a CD-single inlay with a very narrow spine (like Ridge Racer 4 seen far below). You can see that, as with the inlay for Metal Gear Solid ~ they both have the same layout, the same ‘For Display Purposes Only’ sign and that the registration mark is exactly the same as that on their respective promo disc/s (full game).

    My own theory is that possibly the Metal Gear Solid inlay was printed for the promo version of the game, but they forgot to note that Metal Gear Solid came on 2 discs (these inlays can only fit inside a CD-single jewel case) so they were largely either abandoned or damaged if they were included with the promo release (which comes in a case which cannot accommodate an inlay with such a spine). This is how this particular promo version of Metal Gear Solid came to me (see below).

    I’ve just always been curious about these anomalies, I don’t know what your thoughts on the matter are?
