How to spot Resealed Game from factory sealed? ps3

i bought a new game online and as i inspect the sealing..... on the opening side, the seal looks like a boxer underwear you know wheres theres no button or zipper.... just plain and you can manually open up? yeah the sealing at the opening side is like that. its not sticky.... u can still manually left it up with your nail and go through the inside of the case.

......while my new game i bought via online last few years and still sealed as of now sitting on my shelf.... and the the seal at the opening is oposite.... cant go through the inside at all! all sealed and closed. no opening.

both is bought online so i cant tell which method of sealing is real factory sealed. but i have high feeling that the current new game i bought that has boxer underwear sealing is just a resealed.

any expert can confirm?

IMO it should be SEALED sealed, ie, something has to break in order to get to merchandise.

Pics would obviously help.

But IF I understand you correctly, then I've seen games wrapped the way you describe how your new game is wrapped and it is legit.

Again, pics will really help clarify if what I'm thinking is what you are thinking.

Factory sealed games look different than something with heat shrink wrap on it. Factory sealed are wrapped like gift wrapping paper on the edges, you can easily see the folds in the plastic. Someone with heat shrink wrap won't look folded and is usually one continuous piece of plastic wrap.

This is correct. However, I don't believe the OP is talking about a shrink wrapped game.

Again, it's kind of hard to really understand what OP is talking about without any pics, but it sounds like it is film wrapped except the area where you open the game case, the wrapping isn't sealed, but rather loose, like a flap or something.

And if that is what OP is talking about, then it isn't uncommon. I've seen games film wrapped with the edge where the case opens, the film wrap is open like a flap.

If the shrink wrap is easily removed and reused the game itself should have a seal on the box.

A vagina with a pencil in it and a PS3 game named "Boxer Go Through"?
I must admit this makes more sense than most of your other posts.
