Standard press review copy.  Should be identical to the normal game.

Very cool item!

I have something like this with a not-for-resale copy of Red Dead Redemption for 360.

well that is news to me. A release of Castlevania, that was in the hands of magazine writers and programers of the time.

It might be that the huge golem in stage 1 act 2 in this version looks very different to the final version.

How can you tell if it is a bootleg? But you may be correct. :-k

It is a bit suspicious...

Never heard of a hibaihin version for Drac X -> guy has multiples -> they look really new -> From HK -> nothing coming up under a quick yahoo jp seach under "悪魔城 非売品"...

I'd put money up that it's a bootleg.

Mind you, if it's a good deal enough for a clean copy, I'd pay for it, but $175+?!? Pfftt.... suckers.

Googling the Japanese terms is not turning up anything. My money's on it being a bootleg as well.

So Drac X finally got a bootleg? Now that it's not worth bootlegging, making it an unheard of promo is a clever way to steal money from noob/133t collectors. :P

They'd be more successful with a "not for resale" or "25th Anniversary" edition of Sapphire. :wink:

Well, it does state that it is in 90% new condition. That right there sells it for me.
