It has a CompUSA price tag, and I know thats American. Think they went out of business bout the same time Egghead Software did about 10 years ago. Not to mention, the guy that sold it has a 14 day return period on it so I doubt he would BS that it was new then give a return option. Regardless, like I said, worst care scenario its a 3rd backup copy JUST IN CASE haha.
