Your Resident Evil Collection

[Dot50Cal]

Edit: by the way Dot, now i have RE PSX games too!!! yay!!!

Nice to see! My 5th Anniversary Case is pretty high. I think Hunk (LE COLLECTIONNEUR) has #1, I seen him focusing in on it on an old video of his.

nemesis_lover, is that the bootleg Sound Chronicles?

Oh is it chinese? Well, I don't know if it's official, but there arent alot of "new" info in it as in info that they could get from some official source. On the other hand the book has some Biohazard 4 sketches which oughta have come from some offical source.

Its a bootleg/pirate copy. Some of the images are taken directly from Biohazard France Any of the exclusive sketches are from other Capcom books that were released not too long ago.

Hey Nemesis_Lover what exactly is that for a RE 4 Version, never seen before looks interesting

Hey, I'd be interested to know this as well Looks like a dvd?

Hey Dot, is that a boxed PC RE2 Platinum I see in your collection? Didn't think the box existed, only the CDs in the case.

[biohazard_star]

Up to now, I still don't think anyone here owns that RE1/RE2 Platinum PC box combo I was talking about like a year ago. I saw it again on Ebay.ph a few months ago being sold together with FF7 PC for $30 (converted). Unfortunately, I passed up the chance to get it. Now I'm kinda regretting it. There's also a long box version of RE 3 PC being sold here, but the box is much thinner and the font color of the title cover is red. D:

You meaning this PC Box ?

Btw: Three packages from Japan reached me today the content you can see in the 2nd pic

Over the past couple of weeks, I've compiled most of my collection into one .txt document. Instead of posting a huge wall of text, I've linked the file.

Resident Evil - Biohazard collection.txt

I might get around to taking pictures of everything, posting it as a list, and putting links.

[Helegad]

Zomby, I'm crying. That's what I'm talking about.

Does this CD set come in the box?

P.S: What's the mag with the wierd flying fox on the front?

[RE-Hiro]

Awesome!!!
Hey, By the way, how much does it cost the Platinum version??

[Helegad]

They're getting quite expensive on eBay, so snap one up quick!

I got mine doubled with a copy of RE3. Strange thing is, I've never seen anyone else who owns this sort of CD/case design.

[RE-Hiro]

Wow!!! i've never seen it either!!!!

[Helegad]

Maybe Dot will recognize it? He seems to have the ultimate collection, he might have an identical copy.

Yeah, but the box just contained the CD case, lol. Those pics you posted look like pirated copies, if they are US releases. Heres the cds inside the cases. Can you say what version those ones in your pics are? I'm curious now

[Helegad]

Hmmm... I was just chatting to Zombie_X, and he says that my RE3 is a bootleg. I beg to differ, as it has a little label around the shiny rim that says "Resident Evil 3 : Nemesis". You can't see it in this pic, but I've outlined where it would be in MS Paint, the most powerful picture editor ever created!

I got it in a double pack with my RE2 Platinum, but if you look closely the RE2 covers look photocopied, and the 'manual' is a few extracts from a RE2 game guide (enemies, weapons, bosses, etc).

That's the Famitsu with the Capcom 25th Aniversary DVD


I really need a boxed RE3 US Copy

[Helegad]

Famitsu = Magazine, I suppose?

I think I might have to say that my RE2 and RE3 are bootlegs. I mean, I did have my suspicions when they first arrived to tell you the truth, but when I messaged the eBay seller about whether they were pirated or not, he didn't reply.

I always had higher suspicions for the RE2 though, because of the photocopied look.

That's really upsetting for me. I paid about $30 not including postage for those two items. Oh well, at least they work.

[biohazard_star]

Yours are definitely bootleg. Take it from someone who lives in a country where piracy is rampant.

Where do you live???

[Dot50Cal]

That laser etching is done on the presses, and looking at the disc art it seems thats how they made the disc, so yes its bootleg .

Creating that is not really much of a problem if you have the proper hardware for it.
Many of the Hong Kong bootlegs I've got has had the titles written in on them like that.


What you should be looking for is CD Cover and disc art print quality and also some sort of ID on the disc (like a specific production/identification number. Seems like bootleggers who bothers with applying those to their discs "respect" the IDs and don't dupe the ones of a retail and in stead apply their own ID/catalog number.)

[Dot50Cal]

Another big tip off is how the disc art covers the center area which is usually transparent on commercial discs.

nemesis_lover, is that the bootleg Sound Chronicles?

QUOTE]

Sad to say that it is, i had half hoped it wasn't at first but for the price i paid i guessed it wasn't. Until i get the money and find the actual item, i'm stuck with this one. To listen to the music was too much to wait any longer

And that r.e 4 isn't a dvd, its the actual game but has a cardboard case which holds the pal gamecube game in.
