Yeah, 200Yen.

Anyone know what it is? I mean, I know it's a game sleeve/cover, but did it come with ALL MGS2's or was it perhaps a promotion or something?

It's been some time since I saw one of those. If my memory serves me right, they were just promotional from stores, as with most chirasi and sleeves, on pre orders.

Personally I think it might be a slipcase [Using the Gackt advertisement to get the female audience?]. The spinecard on the left bends up to make it 3D and then theres a finger gap in the bottom to make getting the case out easier.

I didn't know the cover was an actual photo, because I didn't have a good quality pic I thought it was CG heh.

I've only seen the first one. I love the Japanese MG adverts.

I saw that auction mate, gutted I didn't go for it ealrier now, I like that design on the t-shirt but never buy t-shirts or clothes as a policy (no reason, just don't!), so why I didn't go for it I'll never know! We'll have to both keep an eye out for it Gixo, I'll let you know if I see any about.

Welcome micster good to have you join the forum!

There's a t-shirt as well with that print, I believe johnny-raiden is selling it on ebay, but I'm sure it's a bit pricey.
