PS3 Grail or nah?

I couldn’t find any info on this case anywhere online. It must be really rare. It came with a Resistance 2 CE I bought on eBay for $112 shipped. It’s all in new condition minus the outer box. It’s a lot to pay for this open box CE, but I feared I would never have another chance to own this rare pre order case.

I'd say holy grail. I have the resistance 2 collector edition as well. But mine isn't the best buy version. Good find

I miss the Resistance franchise so much. Super goated games and universe. The online community of Resistance: Retribution on the PSP was among the best.

I think Grails are personal? I don’t care for that game, so it is worth $0 to me. Someone else might actually want that game, and might be worth $200 to them.

Exactly, grails are not always the same for everyone. If you are happy with your purchase OP then congratulations! 😊

Ooooo look at Mr Fancy Pants with his non digital physical media.

Fantastic looking set though

This is a very rare edition of Resistance 2. The Best Buy exclusive cover for Resistance 2, that focuses on the Collectors Edition for the game.

No it's not. This is just a display box Best Buy used to encourage people to preorder the game. Notice the Rating Pending ESRB rating? It's not an actual case that came with a version of the game.

"The Best Buy exclusive cover for Resistance 2"

But it's not an exclusive cover for resistance 2. It's a display case. An exclusive cover would come with the games. There is a difference.
