    Parting with a few pieces from my collection. These are the original demo discs Sony distributed in Japan a month before the launch of the PlayStation 2. Less than 15,000 sets exist, and they were only available by attending Sony's pre-launch PS2 party. The demos include:

    Gran Turismo 2000 (First playable demo, 1 track and 1 car. As we all know, this game was subsequently delayed and eventually became GT3. Nice rare piece for a collector though.)

    Ridge Racer V (1 track, 1 car, near complete state since RRV was a launch game.)

    SFEX3 (Near-complete state since SFEX3 was a launch game.)

    Konami Disc (Pawafuru Puroyakyu 7, Gradius III & IV, J-League World Cup 2000)

    Golf Paradise (Several holes, nice demo)

    Fantavision (Timed demo, great game IMO.)

    IQ Remix+ (Several levels)

    From Software Disc (Eternal Ring, Evergrace, Armored Core 2)

    Koei Disc (Kessen, Shin-sangokumusou, Mahjong)

    0 Story (Early demo, novel drama)


    Well, there you have it. I've seen these discs sell separately on Ebay for as much as $30. I'm asking $75 for them all (not interested in breaking up the set).

    I WANT THEM ALL!! I'm looking for AGES for those discs, specially Gran Turismo 2000!!!!

    They run normally on any PS2 right? NTSC J format or modded NTSC U/C.

    They are used or sealed? the cd's are without scratches?

    Anyway, I just don't have the money right now. PLEASE SECURE THEM TO ME! I just paid 35 bucks to Antipasta. And because of the dollar currency in Brazil i have always to multiply prices by 3. So for me the price is 225 Reais, almost the college costs i have in a month!

    Contact me on ICQ: 17156073 or E-mail: murdocrj@ig.com.br

    I'll find a way to get some money. Where are you from? Maybe you have interest in some stuff i have to trade.

    PS: There is a disc missing in those pics: You posted 10 discs info, but there are 9 discs on the pics.

    They are used but no scratches. They are original NTSC-J discs, and run fine on a Japanese PlayStation 2. I forgot to take a picture of the RRV disc, sorry about that. I can do it tonight and repost when I get home from work. As for securing them, do you mean hold them?

    Yeah. Hold them for me.

    I want them all.

    I have some stuff to trade, that might be used to be part of the cost

    - Promotional ATARI / Neverwinter Nights Black T-Shirt
    This was given out only to people on the launch day of the game, here in Brazil. Never worn it. Still on the plastic bag

    - European Mega Drive Super Street Fighter 2
    Complete with manuals. Ultra Mint.

    Like i said, i'll try to pay you asap, but i just spent some money now. People on this board now i'm fanatic about PS/PS2 demo discs, and Gran Turismo itself.

    I won't let this chance pass

    Ok. I'll wait for daltrix to answer. If he's not interested, i'll sell it for you.

    The size is G (Grande). In english it would be, L (Large) :smt023

    How much you would be willing to pay?


    daltrix: I saw on the Dreamcast Beta topic that you have more stuff. Anything PS/PS2 related. If yes, let me know. I might get more stuff :smt040

    Depending on how much the shipping to the UK would be, i'd say somewhere between £15 to £25 (as I said depending on shipping though, as I am on a tight budget...but I really like Neverwinter Nights :) )

    wow Johnny, didnt know that $35 equals your college cost :smt022
    I'm very sorry! Next time I order something for you I will not have it sent through DHL but rather by normal mail as the customs dont get their greedy hands on it then :snipe:

    Well by college cost i mean the monthly college payment. But i have a 50% scholarship.

    I'm not couting copies, books, parking ,...

    So no need to feel guilty. :smt023 Like i said to you. I prefer to pay 35 bucks to you, than paying the same or less for someone i don't know on ebay.

    Johnny: Not really interested in the trade. I do have some other PS2/PSone demo discs though. I haven't gone through all my discs, but off-hand I know I have a Phase Paradox (PS2) demo, and about 10 Dengeki PlayStation / PS2 demo discs (each with 4-5 playable game demos).

    Ok. Make a list of what you got, with info (what games in those demo discs). maybe i can make a whole package.

    But the PS2 Launch demos (all 10) are already MINE. I'll find a way to pay for them. You don't know how happy i am to see those discs. After all those years, i finally found them (well, actually they found me :smt023 )

    The 75 dollars price includes shipping?

    Still waiting your reply daltrix. Would you please hold all those 10 discs for me?

    Please say you will. :smt023

    I just need to sell that MD game and that promotional t-shirt. I'll probably ask the people to send the money direct to you, when i sell that stuff.
