BFV. Did I get Wrong Version?

I just got BFV and installed it. On the outside of the box I
noticed it didn't look like the one in the picture on the
site where
I bought it. At the top it says "PC Game" with some little
squares
on the right side. I installed the game and then looked at
the
outside of the plastic box that was inside the other box. It
says
"Not for sale in North America, South America, Europe or
Japan."
I live in North America. Have I been had? Should I insist
they take
it back or what?

Please help.

It says on the box "Any atempt to export or sell
this product in America or Europe will result in criminel
and/or cival action under applical law."

Sounds like you got an import version. No big deal. If it installs and
connects to servers, there should be no problem with it.

Did you get it on Ebay? There are a lot of "foreign" versions of games for
sale there which are a lot cheaper than what you would pay in the US or
Europe (like this one for example -
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...119099690&rd=1 )
If the game works fine on your PC and has an authentic cd key, then don't
worry about it, you've probably got a bargain . A workmate of mine also
bought one of these foreign versions of BFV in a plastic jewel case(for £10)
and it worked fine. I paid £20 for a sealed copy of BFV (in DVD case). If
it was from Ebay it is a good idea to add the word "sealed" in the search
box for any future game searches if you want a US/UK version of a game

Thank you Perkins.
That eases my mind. It installed and registered fine.
There also seams to be no problem connecting to servers.
Thanks again.

I got it from Dirtceapsofware.com. It was sealed and looks
fine. It's just what it said on the box that had me worried.
