Why do so many "new" PAL MGS4's look like this?

Doesn't seem to have shrink wrap and there's that plastic running up the middle...? Is this a legit seal? SO MANY MGS4's are like that.
Is this common for new PAL PS3 releases? My collection is 99.99% USA/Japan so I have very little PAL knowledge.

I live in the UK and haven't personally seen any PAL PS3 games wrapped like that. I got the Special Edition, so I didn't get any seal like that. Unless other European countries seal their games like this, I assume these games are re-sealed. The UK ones have a strip of repeating PlayStation logos on them.

Yeah same here mate, I got the Special Edition too so I can't tell in MGS4' case, but other games I have bought have a proper seal with the playstation tear off as you said. This looks like an attempt to sell it off as sealed item but its a reseal jobby in my opinion.

Not seen that sort of thing ever, Though would probably be a GAME thing seeing how its rare to get sealed stuff from them even on dayofrelease.
To make sure i'd suggest finding an auction that also has the PAL slipcase

Haha wtf is that? Anyway stores like Game and Gamestop tends to rip up the sealing and put the disc and instructions behind the counter and put the box out in the store. And i hate it. However i think i got MGS4 sealed, and with the slipcase in the sealing too.
