Could you please take a closer picture of the Dave Mirra disc? Especially the part beneath the DC logo?
mazonemayu wrote:I could if you want, but there's really nothing special about it; I have compared it to the regular PAL version & its identical in every way
Jenkins wrote:Oh, OK, thank you. Like the Shadow Man promo disc I guess. Nothing special about the disc just a slightly different cover + a case from Amaray. Both of my Dave Mirra promos contain a white label.mazonemayu wrote:I could if you want, but there's really nothing special about it; I have compared it to the regular PAL version & its identical in every way
What is writen on the white box on the backside (instead of the bar code)?
"FOR BUNDLE PURPOSES ONLY" or "Promo Only - Not For Re-sale"?
mazonemayu wrote:for display only - not for resale
Jenkins wrote:I checked my copy. It's the same. So, nothing really indicates which disc belongs to it. Thanks anyway!mazonemayu wrote:for display only - not for resale
mazonemayu wrote:nope, also there's little info to find about these demo boxes, but since they come with a special PAL cover & booklet I assume its more logical they sould come with a regular disk than with a white label. besides, its the boxes that are important, not what's in em (that can easily be replaced)

mazonemayu wrote:think of it: what if ALL white labels originally came in those boxes & they all got thrown away
Jenkins wrote:Just to bring light in the dark and why I thought it should be a white label instead of a retail GD:
Almost every white label from Akklaim came with a special case, booklet and cover. There are three types of promo cover: "For Bundle Purposes Only", "Promo Only - Not For Resale" and "For Display Only - Not For Resale". Those "Bundle purposes" promos are packed with regular (uncut) GD. The rest comes usually with a white label even the "For Display Only" (see pictures below). It's possible that Akklaim send out some retails discs later maybe but many collector would confirm/own this combination.
Exception:
- Re-Volt and Trick Style. Both were always sold (and listed by collectors) as disc only. I really don't know why. Maybe these games were one of the first they produced?
- Dead or Alive 2 exists as "For Bundle Purposes Only" with a retail GD and "Promo Only - Not For Resale" with a white label. A very limited run was pressed with a silver text version like Space Channel 5 got.
- Shadow Man is the only game from Akklaim which was send out with the regular UK disc.
Picutures:
PS: Please move this post to a more related thread if needed.
mazonemayu wrote:nice, are these yours?? and how about the dave mirra one? in this pic it holds a white label but in my box its a regular GD. also where did you find this info, I'm always interested in reading up on shit like this
Neohound wrote:Jenkins, that was what I was wondering myself. If the collection is yours, you should post it again under your name, as it is a fantastic set, and I'm sure people would be interested to see it.mazonemayu wrote:nice, are these yours??
Jenkins wrote:These discs are mine. I would go a step further and say it's a complete set of boxed white labels, because in my six years of collecting white labels I have never seen another game in such a case. Not at ebay nor in a private collection/on the internet.
The second Dave Mirra white label I had was in a Amaray case too. I know at least three people who owns the same pack. It's possible that Acclaim sent out some retail discs later maybe? But I think it should be a white label, imo.
If you want to see a list and a sneek peak of my collection please follow this link to my thread at SEGA-DC.de: Jenkins' SEGA Paradise. As soon as I find some time to take more (detailed) pictures I'll let you know!
dark wrote:On the subject of white labels. I saw this PSO white label today on ebay and I'm having a hard time noticing if it comes with a clamshell case, a standard euro case, or if the thing that looks like it might be a case, is just a manual or piece of paper printed to look like a euro case. I do like the alternate cover though, mostly just because it is different

darn, you never know with these sort of things LOL
an interesting find nevertheless
mazonemayu wrote:on second thought, my Planet Ring WL came with a cover of a similar layout, so I suppose it could be legit
Jenkins wrote:We really should start a new thread
It's a preview cover/print from SEGA Europe. Shenmue, jet set radio, planet ring, PSO, uefa dream soccer, sonic shuffle... some of them came with a cover. Nothing special just a high quality print. These covers can be found on many press discs.

mazonemayu wrote:never seen it as a WL before either
Wombat wrote:Never seen that one as a white label before as well; but it is weird that it didn't get the clamshell treatment like the other Acclaim ones. We really need a comprehensive white label list to rule them all!
Jenkins wrote:I maintain this white label list. If anyone own/know a white label which is not on this list or have some infomore info please tell me. I should add my photos with the boxed white label maybe.
EDIT: We really should start or move this conversation into a more appropriate thread.
