    Can we say RESEAL?

    Note his wording, it seems that he once opened this game, then had it resealed!

    My copy, when bought new, was only sealed with the Sega seal top and bottom. He would have to have broken these, or possibly pulled the seal off (most likely damaging the box) in order to play it, and hence it is not "sealed" in the true collector's sense. The majority of European Saturn games WERE NOT shrink-wrapped! (I know this is a different story in France, but in the UK, they mostly weren't... and those that survive shrink-wrapped today are usually Australian imports).

    Let this be a warning to everyone - read the description and check pictures VERY carefully - ESPECIALLY if you are buying a very rare (and high priced) item! :-(

    That's right. Panzer Dragoon Saga was NOT sealed in the UK. All it had was a Sega sticker across the top of the box.

    ah well, 77 pounds is not a bad price at all... I would shell that out right away for an unsealed copy *HINT!* :smt030
