I bought by re:coded today, but I've just noticed on some pictures and videos that the cover is supposed to have a sort of glitter effect to it, but mine's just plain? Any ideas why this is?

didn't see any in the store that had this effect on it either.. :

I don't know. Maybe it was only for preorder? Mine was a preorder, and it did glitter.

same with mine that could be the reasone idk

I think only the Japanese version had it.

My case has the shiny glitter effect, and I just bought it at Wal-Mart four days ago.

hmm seems like some people had it, some people didn't...

damn it i want a shiny box :C

I think it's kinda like how in Japan for Pokemon Black and White some had normal cases, while others had cases which had the Pokemon's tail glowing a different color. Like for White, Zekrom's tail was normal for some, and for others part of it glowed blue. It could just be that some have it, some don't. Although, mine is shiny.

It might have only been for North American purchases.
