Before you buy

Three releases exist: US, European and Japanese. The European cart is cheaper than the US one complete, and the Japanese cart costs far more complete. The Japanese cart is a different, smaller shape that does not fit a Western console without an adapter. The look-alike risk is low. Check the manual is there on a complete copy.
