It' not easy to know.
I think that there are different conditions of brand new.
Look these.
There is a method to buy a sure factory sealed copy.
To buy shenmue 1 in UK with the SEGA box or to buy shenmue 1 and 2 in italy with the logo SIAE.
Logo SIAE is a logo applied on the celophane by goverment, is a tax for the reseller.
You can't remove this logo from celophane so if there is this logo you are sure that it is original factory saled.
If you buy something in italy, games, music or movie, without this logo you can be sure that isn't original factory saled.
