Grading
Please Note: Every disc is tested and guaranteed to work, with professional resurfacing applied where needed. Excellent and Very Good grades both include the Original Jewel Case, Front Booklet/Manual, Back Cover Inlay, and Game Disc. Our Excellent grade is our best available, not "as new" — if you're after a pristine, professionally graded copy, we'd recommend sourcing that through a dedicated grading service instead.
| Grade | What's Included | Case & Disc Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Excellent | Disc + Original Jewel Case + Booklet + Back Inlay | Our best available grade. Hinges operational. Case may show small cracks, light scuffing, minor marks, or the odd retail sticker — we mix and match the best plastics we have, but this isn't a mint or graded copy. Booklet is in top shape overall, with minimal dog-ears or creasing and no tears; may occasionally show faint watermarking on the white reverse side. |
| Very Good | Disc + Original Jewel Case + Booklet + Back Inlay | Our standard pre-owned grade. Case may show heavier cracking, scuffs, chips, stress marks, broken hinges, or old retail sticker residue. Booklet is fully complete but shows more noticeable wear than an Excellent copy — dog-ears, creasing, and more prevalent watermarking on the white reverse side are all expected. |
| Good | Disc + Case (NO MANUAL / BOOKLET) |
The players' copy. Comes with the original jewel case — front and rear artwork inlays may be included, but aren't guaranteed at this grade. Expect the case plastic to typically be cracked or broken; it's done its job protecting the disc, just not going to win any beauty contests. Disc is fully tested and working. Perfect if you just want to play the game and aren't precious about how the case looks. |
| Disc only | Game Disc Only (NO CASE / NO BOOKLET) |
Our budget option. Disc only, no case, booklet, or rear inlay. Shipped securely in a protective sleeve inside a rigid mailer. |
