so, does this fix the pirating problem? like are the scan bars now multilevel so you cant print them? or can jerks still print out cards?

I received the game today (import - no official PS3 support on my country), need to try it at home tonight. I am hoping there is some way to see the cards of the opponent at real time, that way I can see if the cards are original or not. If that is not possible, then I will only play with trusted people

It's not really that big of a deal. it's not like they can actually cheat in game, they just don't have to buy the cards. Is it unfair? Yes, totally. But it really only matters if you're in a tournament or something.

I agree with Nate. You can't "cheat" in the game by breaking rules. It's just that they might not have sunk as much money in to it as other people for the "strength" of their deck. If anything it makes players more even and WotC / Sony are losing out. The only time people need to have official cards for any CCG is either really uptight players or in tournaments. I don't know if there will be a lot of EoJ tournaments. And the uptight players would think it's "cheating" to buy the cards from vendors selling them individually, so their standards only really give you the option of pissing away a bunch of money.

There's no way they'll be able to fix the printing problem. The Eye just isn't high enough fidelity for that.

Actually the Eye does have enough fidelity, but the lighting conditions and distance from the camera to the playing board (plus the skewed angle) limits what it can see. Basically if they really want to do something about this, they have to give you a code in the box that's unique to every single box, then have you enter that code into something tied to your PSN user name. This way they can easily have a database that tracks who paid for what. However this does mean you can't use your cards at your friend's house unless there's some option to disable that when you're playing local vs. matches.

Can you play online in Canada and US? Versus everyone? or does it not support that?

Second wave already? We still can't find first wave cards anywhere! I've been able to snag 2 boosters and 2 theme decks... that's all I've ever seen in the wild.

I SO love this game, and I am really excited about the next set. The screenshots on the Japanese site demonstrate the same excellent style of artwork found in the first set of cards. I have several friends that don't have PS3's that love this game so much they bought tons of cards, too, just to be able to build their own decks. As some have commented, though, I sure hope getting the cards is easier. I've managed to acquire quite a lot of them (9 competitive decks and around 70 cards left-over), but from many different sources. If you try looking at only one game store, you'll not find many, so try places like Target and Amazon, though Amazon is overpriced on boosters.

Oh yeah, and to address the comment about pirating the cards: There is absolutely no reason not to buy this game if you are worried about the pirating issue--it does not affect gameplay because the cheaters still have to play by the rules. Having a bunch of rares in your hand isn't going to win you the game, because there are ways to beat every rare, even if you're only using the starter deck. Build your decks wisely, rares or not, and you can win often.
The only thing the cheaters are achieving for certain is that they are causing Hasbro and WotC to question whether it is worth making future sets for this game. If people are going to copy them and put them online for free, they're not only violating copyrights (if they decide to track you down, watch out, because copyright laws have teeth), but they're potentially shutting down future support for this game. Future sets are only going to be issued if there is profit involved, and if no one is buying them because they can download them free, we're stuck with one or two sets. Personally, I'd like to see this great game continue to be expanded. Wouldn't you?

Yeah, have to agree that the worry of card copying is just hyperbole. I have bought only 5 boosters and one premade deck in addition to my starter deck, yet with my self composed deck using those cards I have over 80% wins.
My deck also contains very few rares, most of my rares I have actually never played with as they cost to much or have to limited usecase.
It always amuse me when people play out some of the games most expensive cards in triumph and I just use a beguiling fog to turn them around facing the wall.

@Christian: The devs said you can consistently beat people with the Starter deck, the cards are pretty well balanced. Except for that damn fire monster that shoots lava over 2 squares and has perfect dodge on a fire square.

An easy way to keep pirating down is to have down to earth prices. I don't bother with it. But I can see why someone would. Four dollars for eight cards? C'mon.

Are phantom cards really that hard to find? I already have all 5/ Siam, Traitor of the seas/ Wormak, Biloth Heir/ Warden Hilda/ Blackhood Dwarf Vulitra/ and Inquisitor Koog. The only cards i don't have are Guardian Watchtower, Phaseus Biolth God, and Exalted Elven Deity.
