Doesn't this look a little familiar to you?

Ah, pirates are an odd thing.

Any pictures of the cartridge?

It looks like a normal DS cart, but if I tried hard enough, I can open it up as the ends can be lifted with my finger nails.  The cart wouldn't be recognized by the DS at some times, but plays like the real thing.  It was sealed like my imported Velvet Revolver CD, so maybe they do things differently over seas?  Or maybe it was pre-owned overseas?  If it was pre-owned, I know that owner lost the manual and casing, as they're definitely not of store quality.

I'm going out to eat.  When I get back, I'll upload some pics onto photobucket.
They're uploading.  I'll post in a minute.

Looks like your typical Gamestop used-game case to me. Does it happen to smell weird on the inside too?

As for the boxart, the front looks like the European front considering the PEGI rating, the side seems to be a small logo image pasted against a white background, and the back is a few normal advisory pictures, the Sonic Heroes image, and a box of text pasted together.
What I wonder is, why do they go to all that effort, when one can just find the real north american boxart on the internet and print that up instead of fooling around with Paint while finding even more images.

God, I hate those cheap plastic cases. You can so totally tell that they are made from recycled plastic that came from stuff other than plastic cases.

Yeah, that's the PEGI rating.
