I know, but the value doesn't matter (believe it or not)
I rang em 1st, said i got this and that, will you trade for MGS4?
The answer was YES
I also asked what the individual trade in value was for each title... $22 each ($44 total)
I double checked....."So you ARE going to give me MGS4, worth $100 for $44 of crap?".....the answer was still yes !!!

So i bought 4 sheeet games from Dickies for $100 and swapped it all brand new for MGS4 and Buzz. (checking they weren't on the exception list 1st of course)

1. Does it have a MA15+ rating in the bottom right corner of the front cover?
2. On the spine, does it say BLES or BCES and 5 digits after that?
3. On the back cover, do you see a black icon with 'half of the world' and a 4?

It's American. Give it a go. I don't know their official rule ... but I've seen an American copy of Resistance being sold at a local EB, and I've once traded in an American copy of Surf's Up one at JB.

JB just scanned em to get the value, so if the bar code is the same as the Aus version, i think you'll be sweet.

Yea, the JB dude tried to scan my American copy of Surf's Up (which I got from EB actually!) and it wasn't recognised. Then he realised it was an American copy. He accepted it anyway, because it wasn't on the exclusion list (haha!). So yea ... lucky?
