More like this is 'Malaysian' only!
To be honest, this is extremely discouraging. No wonder I don't buy original games! I don't even get jewel cases! It's exactly like the drivers CDs I get from my graphics card!

No wonder pirated media are extremely rampant here!

Chai.. I think you're getting ripped off. These are licensed duplications of older games. They usually cost around RM30-40. The actual editions cost a lot more but they look a lot better. My BG2 had a great box with good art. And there was a manual, four CDs and a cloth map.

Er...yes, everyone who bought original games got ripped off too... :whitsle:

BG2 is such an old game. Please don't try to compare that with today's original. It's very different today. I guess you haven' buy original games for some times...

Most original games today comes with CD(s) and nothing else. Look at falcone's Monkey Island. 1 jewel case, that's it.

Monkey Island is not a new game. Most likely it's a repackaged classic. Which would be really cheap I guess (it's US$15 at LucasArt's store (http://www.lucasarts.com/companystore/monkey4/)
