Quoted from Damonator:I'm sure the "official" policy from JJP and Stern is that only games sold through authorized distributors are warrantied. The "unofficial" policy from both JJP and Stern seems to be that the games have a full warranty regardless of where they are purchased. I haven't heard a single story about JJP or Stern not honoring a warranty because the game was bought from an unauthorized distributor.
I think you're right.
Also, you can't buy WOZ from an authorized dealer at $8,499? That is crazy.
