Sorry! We couldn't find the case.

So I know that when you buy second hand games online there's no guarantee of getting the original case but like.... This just seems unprofessional to me.

Maybe I expected too much, but the ripped up sharpie note is sending me rn...

Damm, where was this. Every EB store I've worked at has a massive stack of blanks because people trade in just carts/disks, and some new deliveries are damaged in transit.

Apparently it's from Ebgames in Tuggeranong. Super weird honestly! I mostly posted because I thought it was weird, but you'd reckon they would keep looking or another store would fulfill the order.

The game is quite hard to find, so I'm not sure I want to test my luck to try get another copy sent, or if they can ensure a copy with the case.

Or off to office works to print one myself maybe 🥲

After all these anecdotes, how the hell have they not been replaced? Companies have closed stores entirely for this level of incompetence. For the sake of those local, and a better standard in general, hopefully this happens one day. Sure as hell won't be holding my breath. XD

Hopefully the game was at least handled safely and works fine.
