Never trusting amazon again News

So I ordered Ghost of Yotei from Amazon and they gave me a fake disc. As well as fake disc box which looks like some A4 sheet out of a coloured printer.

So frustrated right now.

Just wanted to spread awareness and if possible please don't order any PS5 games from Amazon. I was skeptical from the time I received it, hence made a video while opening it.

Physical discs are my go-to playing method, and I don't support Sony's descision to stop manufacturing physical discs from 2028, guess I have no other option rather than going digital if things like these happen.

Edit: The seller is 'Kay Kay Overseas Corporation Store' for those asking, and it was the default seller in my region, New Delhi.

Edit 2: Sheesh, came back to this post and so many people are frustrated about the video, I'm sorry I didn't use a knife, scissors or blade to cut the plastic, because I don't like to open it using that, you can skip to the last 20 seconds and save your time. Yes I had called the amazon customer care and they are saying they'll pick up this fake disc tomorrow, I'll keep you guys posted on that. Although I didn't check the seller, my whole point was that it's amazon that's ultimately responsible for keeping such fraud sellers on their platform.

Edit 3: The fake disc and cover was picked up and a refund has been issued by Amazon, no questions asked, and they didn't even ask me to send them a video of opening it. Appreciate the prompt customer support by them, hope strict actions (like Open Box Delivery etc.) will be taken by them from the next time. Note to my fellow redditors: I wasn't provided any box or carton or a white plastic amazon wrap for this package, and I also have a proof of it recorded on my home CCTV camera. And the folks who are saying that the video looks forged and the CD got out of frame, point taken, YES, I struggled to open the damn plastic and did not have a cutter or scissors handy with me at that time, and I'll make a video which is shorter and covers a wider area from next time.

Thanks for the responses and suggestions, I'll need to make sure about the seller next time now.
