Two reviews on Amazon say the new prints of Yakuza 2 won't play or are scratched. I imagine many people aren't opening their copies but has anyone had this problem? Or are most people's copies working no problem?

Yakuza 2 comes in a dual layered disc for the US version. Back when the game was released I recalled people suddenly finding out that their PS2 have issues running a DVD-9 disc. If you run into a problem booting the game, I suggest you make sure your console has no issues with dual layered discs. Test a different game that is dual layered and see if that works from the DVD9 list here to confirm.

I got my copies of 1 and 2 in, and they're staying sealed. I have Japanese copies

Spoiler

and found some magical way to play an english version on my PC

so they'll just be a very gorgeous thing that brings me warmth in my heart.

Are they the exact same as the first print run?

My copy of Yakuza 2 is fine FWIW. Ordered from Amazon.

My copies of the PS2 games arrived Friday, and testing them both about an hour ago, they both boot and run to the title screens fine. Obviously that's not necessarily an indication that they're flawless discs, but it's a good start.

update:

got in touch with VGP C.S. and they said the games are stuck in customs. before it's being handed off at the border to USPS, it's delivered by a courier to the border. but the C.S. said they must've seen the name Yakuza and so many copies so a large box orders have been held in customs being checked while early orders got through.

i hope it customs don't gut open the sealed copies...

I assumed it was something like that and not anything malicious from VGP. I imagine it will probably be fine apart from taking extra time.

List of people surprised that US Customs (And the whole of US federal law enforcement) is daft enough to think that any Yakuza outfits would openly operate under the Yakuza label outside of Japan:

So the name "Yakuza" is freaking everyone out haha. So hilarious.

I got my copy from amazon, no issues. Haven't cracked it open though.

That's actually pretty awesome.

This is just really common for games crossing the border in either direction. Now you Yanks know what we have to put up with getting games from the US sometimes.

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

My copies of 1&2 arrived today but 1 has a big puncture and tear in the front of it. Hopefully they're not assholes about replacing it with a good copy...

 

[MisterLuffy]

Yakuza 2 went up to $59.99 on amazon. Man, I really want to wait for the second one to have a remake.
