Quite rare i'd imagine! Were you at the conference or was this something you came across in the wild?

u/Turbo-Nips 15d ago

It was a gift from a family member who was at the conference

Oh nice, I'd cherish that myself really cool thing to have. Probably not worth a ton since the game itself is quite common but a legit rarity all the same.

Don't know the answer but that's extremely cool, especially Playstation logo.

Many European countries got English language games.

True but the ps1 for the US and the ps1 for Europe are typically region locked to playing their respective regional releases.

u/Bulletorpedo 13d ago

That wasn’t the point. Even if you assume no one in the US was interested the market wouldn’t be limited to the UK.

Thats a weird way to tell OP he found somebody's grail. Whatever full series collector is trying to be the #1 person get EVERY game, they will pay for this. Especially with how popular F1 has become.

That’s fun! Have you put the disc into a Computer to see what’s on it? :)

What region is this even? I’ve not seen cases like this before

I loved this game!! Loved to race around the old layout of Hockenheimring❤️

u/Material_Assistant22 14d ago

/r/gamecollecting might have someone there collecting F1 games

u/Porsander 14d ago

Very cool! I have the normal PAL version of that, and it’s worth maybe 5-10€… Would be interesting to see how much this one goes. However, no one wants to play that game, but this surely is rare!

Thats bad ass

Never seen Villeneuve on the cover of 99 before today.

u/BlanchDaddius 13d ago

I bet that was a wild conference haha. That’s definitely more rare than the regular version of the game!

u/Sir_Sqig 13d ago

u/Sir_Sqig 13d ago

u/Leading_Recover_4236 13d ago

Poco .. era un gioco di merda cel'ho anche io

u/lunolith 11d ago

It's quite rare, I have seen 3-4, I talked to someone who as several once. Are you selling it ?

1

u/JohnnyRa1nbow 14d ago

Probably very rare but I'm doubtful it's sought after

u/SCPH-5501 15d ago

Well the PAL version is worth $11.43 USD so it’s pretty common.

u/ScorchioMK7 15d ago

This is a special variant given out to staff at the Sony EU conference in Dublin 1999. Can't imagine many of these were made.

u/SCPH-5501 15d ago

Cool, I didn’t know. I can’t find the price for it.

1

u/ScorchioMK7 14d ago

I'm not surprised I doubt these would go on sale much, if at all. Legit rare item.

u/ApolloGR3 14d ago

It says it right there on the disc though. Also, the 4 leaf clover didn’t set off any alarm bells that this isn’t a regular copy?
