Manufacturer description
Please review photos for all imperfections. The most obvious one near the bottom right of the case near the opening is a crack with a small piece of the plastic missing. Also it powers up fine when plugged in but as soon as disconnected from power it powers off. All functions work and the missing piece of plastic causes no discomfort when playing Includes final fantasy vii crisis core Discounted due to these issues.
