    How did you verify they aren't really preview / review discs, MrHard? Did files on the disc contain dates / times that are recent? Having the same files / size isn't a really good indicator because as the discs say, they're "(p)reviews." That usually means close to, if not, the final revision.

    The handwriting is similar on the discs, especially for games that didn't have the same developer (look at F1 and Zombie Revenge). Does anyone know if these went through Sega or some common third party before going out to reviewers? If so, that would explain that.

    That test drive cycles has the same font and type on the disc as the 3 I had. If they are fakes then he got a picture from one of the original and then copied it exactly. Also why copy sports games or PAL games?

    Reviewers are just finals, buy maybe the beta ones. All this stuff is out there for free anyways.

    I would check the file creation date I bet it says 2009 in the disc info.

    gamesniped posted it a few days ago, I can assure you, plenty of people were already watching it before Pikkon posted a link.

    EDIT: Not trying to sound like a jerk, just thought I'd mention it. Connotation doesn't always express itself properly in a text only medium.

    Just a heads up...If any of you guys are seriously interested you ought to contact the seller to confirm that its all there, as from the pic on the listing it doesn't show the 'crucial' bits that may be missing!
