So I recently ordered a bulk packaged new ps3 controller by EA electronics on Amazon and I am wondering

-Will the package my ps3 controller is in, have those puffy clear bags to protect the controller from harm during shipment?

-Is it worth getting in comparison to getting the original retail box that the ps3 controller originally came in since it was cheaper than buying it with the original box?

-Are products in bulk packaging still reliable?

Don't call me a nerd, it makes me look slightly smarter than you

I have not bought anything like that, but I would assume if it is sold by Amazon and fulfilled by Amazon, then it would have some type of protective wrapping on it and protection for shipping.

It says sold by EA electronics and fullfilled by Amazon, so yes probably?

if its Fulfilled by Amazon then that meas EA has contracted with Amazon and Amazon has physical possession of the item and will be the ones shipping it to you, not EA.

Is this in amazons own easy open packaging etc?

 

amazon are experts at packaging products, I wouldnt even worry, especially a controller which is super robust
