[PS2] New ps2 games without security labels/stickers

Hello,

Is it just me or is it everyone.... Recently, i have purchased many new games at a retail store (fry's, best buy, gamestop), and i've noticed it does not have a security labels that's usually on the ps1 and older ps2 games. Games that are new that does not contain such labels: RE 4, Atelier Iris, SF Anthology, basicaly, the new releases. Anyone has more information on this topic???

Miles,

Thanks for your response. But i believe it was not last year, b/c last year, i was still able to obtain new games with labels on them. I think it was sometimes around March/April of 2006 was when manufaturer stop putting the stickers. I don't agree with you that the security labels are annoying for many reasons. One example, the sticker is there to inform consumer, that they're getting a new copy, instead of one that has been opened (and probably played) and was resealed. Don't you think? Imagine if you're a collector, how would you feel, if someone opened that [item] and resealed it, and sold it for the original price or even higher?

Yoman,

If what your claiming is true. By that, i mean, you recently purchased a new copy of the first shadow hearts (2001), than i have good reasons to believe you have purchased a re-sealed copy. I can prove to you that the first shadow hearts does have a security sticker, b/c i personally own a seal copy, with the seal on. BTW, how much did you paid for the game?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Are you sure it is only the re-prints that does not contain the stickers? Than how come new releases such as re4, Street Fighter Anthology, Grandia 3, Atelier Iris 2, Kingdom Hearts 2, Romancing Saga, alltogether does not have ghe labels. So this means that it is a re-print. How can it be a re-print copy when it's barely released for less than 6 months. Can anyone explain this???

I can understand for SH but not the games i've listed abover. Guess i have to contact sony on this issue.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Thank you MoO for clarify the issue with the members here. I'm glad someone knows something about it. And your absolutely correct about consumer opening game, re-wrap, and returning it. Thank you again.
