   Oh shit, that's right...I forgot that they'd pull that stunt with N64   
   games(I've only ever bought one N64 game from BB, and it only had the   
   foil). I remember them also doing this on DVDs until they got too many   
   complains. Man, yeah, I don't know how one would get that thing off the   
   cart and still have it looking decent. I'd imagine that the cart's   
   sticker comes right off with it. :(
