@ Slimebeast - retail versions of the games. Just like you buy in stores. The last game I bought retail was a used copy of Saints Row 2. Before that ... GTA IV - and the day I got it, I came home and R* had sent me both copies - PS3 and 360 of the game, plus stickers and the Statue of Happiness swag. Good times.
Here are the links: I have to cache some of them ...
