    Hi!

    I don't know If there's a lot of PSone Collectors here, but I really don't find any infos about 2 games I found on ebay, one 2 years ago, second some month ago, sellers didn't knew where they came from...so I try! ^^

    The game are from the Noël serie, and both presents a box with 'Not For Sale' mark.

    No differences between commercial and 'Not For Sale' without the outter (?!) box :

    Why Is there an "Not Digital" on the first game? o_O

    I would be glad to receive any information about the origin! ^^

    Thanks!

    Not Digital is just the subtitle I believe. At least it is also printed on the Noel games I own, and they are normal games :) (on that Artbook too)
    ~La Neige~ seems to be the same that I have. But I can't check i'm not at home...

    I would just assume that those slipcases are pre-order/1st print items. The Not for Sale refers to the case and not the game itself. As for why there is "not digital" on the first game, well the slipcase could be mismatched for the game, I can't really explain that one.

    Still, great find, I have never seen them before!

    (BTW Orgo I will update my collection quite soon - sorry it has taken so long, I am rather busy at the moment.)

    Not Digital is indeed a sub title of the Noel series. I own the Saturn 3rd version Specioal Edition (most beautiful version released by that time) which also has Not Digital on it. You can just about see it on this scan.

    Kami68k > That's true, but there's 3 versions of Noël ~ Not Digital (normal, special, and 'Best') and the Special one hasn't the same cover than Noël ~ La Neige :

    Games are different, It's strange! :eek:

    Warakia > I think you're right, I didn't tought that, maybe It's just a pre-order slipcase. Also I'am not sure that their blists were originals when I received them, wich can confirm your version!

    Thanks both for your answers, it's nice!!

    And Warakia, don't worry, I' am just very curious! ^^

    Yakumo > thanks! I never saw that there is a 'Not Digital' on Noël 3, I feel that I was wondering about a "normal" thing... ^^

    It's also available on PSone, I will try to find It, or at least check a pic of the box.
