I know this is an odd place to put this topic but I figured a lot of guys here have experience with cover art/labels. I bought a bundle of Wii games on eBay from a seller in the U.K. The games did not come with the cases or manuals. I have tried to play all 16 games and I can't get a single game to register in my U.S. Wii. The first thing I noticed about the discs is that they all look different than a standard NTSC label. First off, some of the labels have "DVD ROM D9 on the label. Secondly, they all have a box with colored number of varying sorts with the "Wii" mark. On one it says "RVLU 3311." On another it says "Wii - 0062." The labels say they are NTSC and for use only in USA, Canada, Mexico and Latin America. I have included some pictures. They are the best quality my camera can do. Anyone have any idea what is going on? |

The Bigs might be fake. the artwork is horrible with the main title logo covered up everywhere. I don't think a commercial release would be that bad (still possible though). Since Madden is fake i wouldn't surprise me if his was fake too. madden 07 is fake or its a burnt copy intended to play on a modded system. the bottom white curve is a dead give away that it uses a custom printed cover. none of the commercial releases (at least that i have in th U.S.) have that curve. Also, there is no ESRB rating on the disc. Unfortunately i think you may have gotten jipped! :'( edit: I typed "DVD ROM D9" into google and it had a bunch of links describing it as a type of backup disc. Which confirms that they are indeed fakes. |

All fakes. The ROM D9 is a dead give-away. Do a Google search and look what you find. Unfortunatly, you just got mugged on ebay. |

Thank you for the quick replies. I suspected they were fakes but just wanted to be sure. I have used eBay extensively and checked out the seller thoroughly. There wasn't a single red flag. Sometimes you just never know..... In any case, I protected myself by using PayPal and making sure the transaction qualified for reimbursement. Hopefully everything works out. Thanks again. |

I've just had a look through the ntsc wii games on ebay uk and reported quite a few for being quite blatantly fakes. GBA carts are worse. I reckon about 99% of ebay gba carts are Chinese knockoffs. Unfortunatly, I don't have a week free to report them all. |
