By looking at the disk, how can I see if a copy of GTA: LCS is unpatched or not?

[Kaneanite]

I'd rather not have to buy a few copies and hope one works, is there a way I can look to see if it's unpatched?

On two copies I saw, they could be distinguished by one having -2 added to the games catalogue number, visible on the UMD. The patched one has -2 appended - the unpatched one doesn't.

Best bet if you can get to see the UMD tho, is to load it!

[Kaneanite]

Please elaborate? What is the game's catalog number? Are you talking like a bar code or something?

[deejaya]

Yea it's printed on the spine of the UMD case and on the UMD itself. On the EU releases this is usually ULES 000151 (unpatched) and ULES 000151-2 (patched).

The only real way to be sure tho is by loading it and checking!

if it has the 2.0 update on it then its not patched

He cant tell that by the box

Also beside what already has been said, the back of the boxs pictures are different on the two. Also the greatest hits box means its 2.6

Look at the back where the shiny part of the disc is. If you see "SCEA" or a "2" on it (non patched numbers have UPDL starting and end with a 1 and then you will see another 1.) then its patched. I think the SCEA and the 2 go together so you may want to look for that.
You can't look at the box. I got a patched game copy with the SAME disc cover as the one with the non patched on it. For sure, the Greatest Hits GTA LCS will not have it.

Go to Gamecrazy and ask them to try the game out. In the XMB you can see what update is with it.

Go to a videoclub... or some place and rent it (in
blockbuster of Nuevo Laredo has it =D)
