USB charging cable ("Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit") known as HAC-010 instead I really only need the art insert, I bought a replacement case with 2 disc hubs- but I can't find that either.USB charging cable also included in ("Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit")īattery for kart ("Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit")Īrrow Markers ("Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit") Technically it worked out for me- I got charged for the Combo Breaker version, which is cheaper, but now I can't find an empty case of the Definitive Edition for sale to make it 'match'. The real problem title is my copy of Killer Instinct on Xbox One- I wasn't paying enough attention when I picked it up secondhand at Gamestop, didn't figure out until the next day I got the Definitive Edition discs in a Combo Breaker case. It's more like I got a Daxter storage case for my GH pack-in copy. I'm not sure that one counts, becuase it's technically the pack-in version and I have the lil' slipcover from that in there.
My copy of Daxter on PSP is a Greatest Hits disc in a regular case. I actually do own a couple of 'mistmatched' titles.
I don't fret over trying to match serial numbers & disc codes- seems like too much work to find a list of what matches what, especially since you'd need to check everything you bought used (who's to say it didn't get piecemealed before your bought it?) I only try to match things with key visual differences- for example, a Greatest Hits disc gets a Greatest Hits case. Not to mention if you're looking to spend at the higher tier then it would be wise to research what you are buying or just pay the premium and buy new and sealed if you can't be bothered. Rule of Rose and Kuon don't have Greatest Hits versions if they did then they wouldn't be expensive.so buying it loose and buying a case/manual separate will yield the same serials and disc codes. However, if a game is expensive and rare then it's likely to have a low print run and most likely not have a greatest hits/platinum version or any variants to worry about. I would only see this as an issue on actual rare/uncommon,expensive games. Whether launch edition or if you piece together your own launch edition. Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven for the 3ds is another one that all serials are all the same. If Atlus made 2 different version than that would be 2 different production costs,runs,registrations and 2 different inventory SKUs to keep track. From that I concluded there was no difference, which makes sense from a manufacturing point. I bought it and I compared the serials, box code, game cart serial of what I bought to about 4 different launch editions samples online and to 1 actual launch edition I found at a local retro game store.I found them all to have the same serials. Then I found the launch edition outer box and soundtrack for $15 one year later loose. I bought a brand new sealed regular edition off amazon 3 years back. One experience I had was with Radiant Historia on the DS. Even for the most part a majority of variant case covers share the same serials as the regular edition. Most games might have ONE variant: a greatest hits/platinum version or sometimes a variant front cover. As most potential buyers will check especially if the game is uncommon and/or expensive.īy no means am I an expert but as long as all the barcodes, serials, cart/disc codes all match then it **should** be all the same. If you're collecting to resell later on then serials should at least match all across.
Doesn't really matter and up to your discretion
If you're collecting for yourself and personal use (like I do). Depends on what you define as 'collector standpoint'
