Ps2 promos

[owen2471]

Went on holiday last week and visited a charity shop. They had a shed load of ps2 promo disks. All in jewel cases and all with promo not for resale on the disks, mostly silvers. Are these rare ???

You see them all the time on ebay especially for the ps3, I think they were just handed out at promotional events and press launches etc.

They sent these out en-masse to just about every press outlet imaginable, including places that didn't cover or review video games at all, just as they did with the PlayStation before it. Definitely not rare, to the best of my knowledge.

Ok thanks for the info. I picked up around 70 of em for <snip> each.

They were also sent to gaming stores for the display consoles to promote upcoming games.

Do remember though that they are "not for resale" so legally they should not be sold to you, and could in future be an issue for you if you wanted to resell them. This doesn't however mean you can't give them away.

Cool to own, irrespective of value.

Yeah, I think people put too much value into value these days.
