The North American version of "Smackdown: Here Comes the Pain" represents a unique piece of gaming history that captures the fervor surrounding the WWE video game series during the PlayStation 2 era, particularly between 2003-2005.

Collectors value the limited availability of unused copies, especially given that unused editions are seldom seen, with this being the only listing on eBay.

The game's original production in Japan ensured a quality that remains sought after, upheld by a lineage of highly regarded titles by developers THQ and Yuke's.

With the current bid reflecting Japan's collector market's appreciation for authentic, undistributed items, this edition stands out in the gaming landscape.
