Promotional Items

I bought these two items in that virtual mecca
that is E-Bay. Actually, I only purchased the
display ad with the pop-up 3d effect (not
pictured here yet, my scanner's too small ....
>_< ) and recieved one of the oversized box
mockups of the actual game as a bonus! Speaking
of bonuses, I also got the Whitill Dogtag with my
copy of PSO for PC! I almost ran off without it
as I didn't know it was in my package in the
first place except someone noticed it fall out!

Shown is the Versus Strategy Guide for PSO Ver.1
which was OK, but had numerous mistakes since it
was released early. Also, these are a pair of
Strategy guides found in Japan. Not really useful
for us stateside, but they are loaded with color
illustrations and CGI photos of various items.

Why
Can't I Have These?
|
These are several books being sold by Sonic Team,
that for the life of me, I have not yet grabbed.
The first of these, the Syostus, someone was kind
enough to tell me is a fan fiction book with
illustrations.
While the last is another of Softbank's Strategy
Guide for the update.

Translation of
Sonic Team's Book Catalog
|
Well,
there I was trying to get out of bed and failing
miserably for the last two hours, when I finally
got over to my PC to check my E-Mail. Much to my
surprise, there was a message from someone who
helped me figure out some of the books before
named Persona with a complete translation of the
book section of Sonic Team's web catalog!
Apparently, he ran it through one of those java-based
translators you can find on the net. So, here it
is as it was presented to me more or less
including the comments. Persona's
statements are italic and Ver.2 Yellow, and well, I
added a few of my own. Oh, and a few things failed to
translate, so it's still in its original Japanese
text, but may look like garbage or question marks
on your computer instead.
Oh, and the site this is translated from is
located at : http://www.sonicteam.com/pso/index_goods.html
Just click on the link that's above the CD link.
