Annoyingly, this wasn't due to arrive until Saturday despite pre-ordering it months ago, so I cancelled it and ordered it again last night, to get it to arrive today. Thanks, Bezos.
It really surprises me that they’re even allowed to do that, nothing against CeX particularly (I’ve made money and got bargains from them) but I would have thought cover artwork and logos (company and BBFC, PEGI etc.) were all copyrighted and reproducing them for a product you are then selling would be in violation of that just as much as a bootlegger. I mean the discs are genuine, but they’re still essentially making a bootleg of the packaging.reprinted cover
It's from Kate Micucci aka the current voice of Velma Dinkley on Scooby Doo but the character I went with was Sadie Miller from Steven Universe

Bit of a backstory with this, went to my local CeX on Saturday traded some old tech & got wayyyyy more than I expected so decided to get Pokémon White, however I failed to see it was a reprinted cover and had no manuals, read they have 48hr voucher refund so took it back on Monday and then ordered it online... and it's arrived with original case and all the manuals/leaflets and no CeX sticker! Plus they shipped it in a box with so much padding too, well impressed
So glad I decided to check up online about their refund policy!
Even more glad I decided to take it back and return cuz part of me was like ehh I didn't pay any money so no harm but yeah now in the future I'll know to order online for a rare games!I too was curious about the legality of CEX reprinting covers. I think they got into a bit of trouble before, because when they used to reprint covers, you could only tell if you took the inlay out and looked on the underside to see a CEX logo. However, now they have a little "cover reprinted" message in the corner, on the front of the product (clearly visible to the customer).
This is why Baggie received an authentic cover with their online order, as opposed to buying in-store. If you buy online through CEX, they are not allowed to (or at least shouldn't) sell you a copy of what you purchased with a reprinted cover (as the consumer needs to be aware that is what they are buying, e.g., a game with a reprinted cover).
As for the exact legality of reprinting copyright images and logos, I'm not 100% sure on. I think, perhaps, because they are second-hand goods, some of the trading standard laws may not apply. If there was something illegal about reprinting covers for second-hand goods, I'm sure they would have been pulled up on it by now as they have been doing it for years.
Yeah its only game cartidges of a certain age that they'll accept loose (so more retro games), but usually need to have a loose listing.Even more glad I decided to take it back and return cuz part of me was like ehh I didn't pay any money so no harm but yeah now in the future I'll know to order online for a rare games!
It's a bit weird why they even reprinted the cover cuz unlike GBA you can't trade in loose DS cartridges... I feel like any games above £40 CeX should discount if they don't have original covers as I think half the reason is people want the cases and manuals
