A few years ago, I'd gone looking for a used copy of Xenogears at the local Gamestop. I found a copy, $15 which was great considering I'd seen 'em go for $50 at other places. The case was all beat up, but I figured I could replace it, and I could live without the booklet. I take it to the counter, and the manager, who I knew, told me he thought he'd seen a better copy in the back. He brings it out, I pay for it, and I go to open it to check it out. The case wouldn't open. I looked it over.
I realized it was missing the plastic wrapper, but it still had its seal at the top that had never been touched. It was brand new. I couldn't believe it.
