Ouji-san - I wish there was something I can do to help you. Capcom North America has a damaged disc program but it only applies to North American released games. Let me see if I can contact my Capcom Europe conterpart. Now understand that I can not guarantee they can do something for you but it doesn't hurt to ask.
I know although I found for Second Hand RE5 but that store itself is ticking me off with something else...but I might order from CDwow in the UK for 30 Pounds regular version which I wont mind..
I never did bother going on Capcom Europe though next Time I will try phoning the Customers Care (in the manual I think I would imagin though that they only Do in EU like you do only in the US)..
But since you confirm that you guys in the US have a Damage Disc Program It gives me hope for future (hopefully wont happen again)
My PS2 games were printed better than my PS3 games..My fansub Anime on a burned DVD is printed better than that aswell
Either you got a defective disc or maybe just MGS4 PAL is the only one that is 'inferior'... But yea, mine is standard too, but asian version. No see-through. But I've checked my other PAL ps3 games (re5, Star wars, uncharted, bourne) none of them are see-through...
Off-topic aside, based on ur exp (and others too), does that mean those tin covers are no good? Coz I was thinkin of buyin some games/blu-ray in those tin covers...
I think its just how They printed them in Austria (PS games in EU Printed in Austria)...
