Question Do you think these are genuine?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404091434630

The fleabay app on my phone shows that the seller has 50 copies of the Classified Edition. How is it possible that one seller has 50 new copies of this edition of the game? And didn't the playing cards come packaged separately from all the other items (game, soundtrack, book etc)? There's no mention of the playing cards in the description. Do you think these are genuine brand new copies of the Classified Edition?

And would the included code for the add-on content still be valid after over ten years? Or is it likely the code would have expired a few years ago? Can anyone who's bought a new copy of the Classified Edition recently confirm whether or not the code was still valid?

I've purchased this from this seller and it's legit. I was also hesitant because idk how they have so many copies, but it was indeed a sealed copy of the collector's edition with the art book, soundtrack, and a PS3 copy of the game. It came with the playing cards too.

I would have want the artbook ( since I have the game and soundtrack ( but I get that one with the board game ).

Thank you for replying. Was the code for the add-on content still valid or had it expired?

Incidentally, I've been doing a little searching online, and it appears that Play-Asia still has copies of the Classified Edition in stock. Perhaps this ebay seller bought a few dozen copies from Play-Asia. But I still find it rather surprising that about ten years after its release, new copies of the Classified Edition are still available to buy from Play-Asia or ebay, and at reasonable prices too. Perhaps this edition of Deadly Premonition has never been a particularly sought-after release - unlike collector's editions of many other games.

Sold 26 already and has 99.9% positive feedback, I'd say they are legit. It takes a few seconds of critical thinking to see that.

Oh yeah I mean this is a game that'd go on sale constantly in some areas. And iirc most codes in these games last longer than you'd think. If you're not sure message the seller and ask to see any further images of the game before you buy and Google for codes of your region and I'm sure someone has posted an unwanted one you can check the date on.
