Evidently the "first batch" were infected, but the "second batch" weren't. I don't know how you tell them apart, except to check them. My advice would be for everyone who buys this game to check it, observing proper precautions when doing so, and if it is infected take it back for another one until you get one which is OK. One would hope that a reputable dealer would already be aware of the problem and would have weeded out all the bad ones already - but this is not an ideal universe. ("Memory Location" has done so - I guess at least the Boston area is part of the ideal universe...)
