recently obtained a few big box copies of fallout and was wondering something. i have 3 copies, one of them has a glossy finish and more vibrant colors (left). The other 2 i have have a matte finish and the colors are little washed out kind of (right). if someone can explain why this is whether they be fakes or 1st prints i'm not to knowledgeable when it comes to different releases. thanks in advance. sorry if i posted this in the wrong section.

The picture doesn't work, for me at least.
Not sure what it could be. I guess colours can bleach out over time (especially if it was kept in the sun, like a shop window. A telltale sign would be that the colours have a blue tint), but most big boxes I know have a glossy finish that would stay unless it's heavily abused.
Not sure how many box versions there are, though. Is the content any different?

i fixed the image i think, the content is slightly different. the inner box packaging is made differently i will show pictures. not sure if it could have came from another big box game i wouldnt think so because of the odd size this is.

Sir, you should take a cleaning rag and go over your controller and keyboard.
There's a serious amount of dust on them 8]

Sorry for bumping this old thread, but it's the only one I found that asks the same question I have.

My copy of Fallout has very noticeable spotty "sand effect" all over the box, like the box was made to look old and dirty, this is very hard to describe but it certainly looks like it is made on purpose, to give it a post-nuclear effect (I guess I see what they tried to do here...).

All the copies I can find on eBay or Google don't seem to have this so I wonder if it was a 1st print thing or something similar?

The box on the right side from the OP here doesn't seem to match mine, it looks matte too, but doesn't seem to have any of that sandpaper effect on it.

I used to own big box editions of F1 and F2 but they got lost when I moved out of my parent's place (I still have the original CDs, though).

Is it possible to obtain high-res box art that could be printed as a poster?
