Whether launch edition or if you piece together your own launch edition. Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven for the 3ds is another one that all serials are all the same. If Atlus made 2 different version than that would be 2 different production costs,runs,registrations and 2 different inventory SKUs to keep track. From that I concluded there was no difference, which makes sense from a manufacturing point. I bought it and I compared the serials, box code, game cart serial of what I bought to about 4 different launch editions samples online and to 1 actual launch edition I found at a local retro game store.I found them all to have the same serials. Then I found the launch edition outer box and soundtrack for $15 one year later loose. I bought a brand new sealed regular edition off amazon 3 years back. One experience I had was with Radiant Historia on the DS. Even for the most part a majority of variant case covers share the same serials as the regular edition. Most games might have ONE variant: a greatest hits/platinum version or sometimes a variant front cover.

As most potential buyers will check especially if the game is uncommon and/or expensive.īy no means am I an expert but as long as all the barcodes, serials, cart/disc codes all match then it **should** be all the same.

If you're collecting to resell later on then serials should at least match all across. Doesn't really matter and up to your discretion If you're collecting for yourself and personal use (like I do). Depends on what you define as 'collector standpoint'
