Gamecube Preview/Demo Discs

[acidbearboy]

Looking for some more information on a Japanese Nintendo Gamecube Demo Disc, quite possibly the September 2002 edition. It apparently has trailers for Biohazard Zero and Phantasy Star Online Episode I&II, among others. But more importantly, it was suggested on PSO-World that there may be a demo for PSO on the disc. Any info or images of the disc/case would be most helpful, thanks.

There is a thread about it here

the video it talks about doesnt' exist any more though.

Do you have a link to the topic? Anybody here collect GC demo discs?

This website has images for the September 2002 disc, called Monthly Nintendo over-the-counter demonstration (月刊任天堂店頭デモ　2002年9月号)

I've got a bunch of these discs in my collection, sadly I don't have September 2002, so can't help there! :/

[acidbearboy]

Which ones do you have and where did you get them from Mayhem?

[Mayhem]

I've got most of 2003 and some of 2004 iirc. I think I bought them off someone on here, but it's been years, so I can't quite recall.

[acidbearboy]

Fair enough. The few on eBay at the moment are over ?60 each.

[Mayhem]

Sheesh... and the prices of any of the COMPLETED auctions?!

I had a check of my PMs, and they go back to 2006, and I can't find who I bought them from, so it either before that date, or wasn't someone on here like I thought.

[acidbearboy]

Yeah, no completed/sold auctions in recent history, unsurprisingly! Can't seem to find much info on them online either. There are a few listed for sale on a site called Akiba-Games at 9,980 yen each (?50-ish), but not the 2002.9 version I'm after.

I have a mint copy of the Famitsu magazine with Resident Evil 4 demo and a DVD with other Capcom previews. Just checked Ebay and there's one going for 120 euro

I have the same magazine, there's my pension right there :P

[Colin]

That's an awfully small pension fund Mofo.

[MoFo2]

Well, hopefully it will be worth some more when I retire. How much can some adult diapers and porridge cost really?

Is this the one you mean?



surely its not worth that??..

I bought it and never even turned a page, let alone take the discs out!!

As they always say on the US Pawn Stars show, what people are asking and what people are paying are two different stories.
