Ac2 in good condition and complete easy 400EURO and more
AcB 200-250
Acr dossier de presse 40

I've had the argument before of dossier de presse not being a press kit
As dossier de Presse translates as document of pressed and only comes with a disc and a brochure / document/ booklet, and press kits always come with more then just a booklet and disc for every other game franchise so in my opinion a dossier de presse is not a press kit

So then are there french press kits? Or are they all just dossiers de presse?

Press kits can be very barebone and still be pk's just not very good pk's nor very desirable

Well the industry seems split on this matter
But its not much of a kit if its only a pamflet and a disc, but I don't feel as though it is something worth argueing over, as long as they are named properly,

What about the killzone 2 PK? That's only a booklet and 2 discs. Plus some dossier are called Press kit if they're the german version.

I think I said in general a press kit is more then just a disc and booklet
So obviously there are exceptions
And what words are printed on the German versions? The words press kit or the German equivalent of press document

Now we are really arguing semantics

i think we each have to come up with our own definition of what makes up a press kit as there's really no good one fit all definition

I consider something that says press kit or dossiere de presse or any loose translation of press kit/document is pretty much a press kit

Doesn't mean I want anything that says that mind you

Yep semantics still the only press items I want are obscure and contain no disc or booklet

Like the AC3 press kit has no game or disc or booklet
And the dishonoured one is a clock and a letter and a poster
No game
So there are 2 categories for press items

Sorry but I don't like exceptions to rules . I know some/all have the works 'press kit' on them. Other than that they are identical to a dossier de press.

I am sorry you don't like exceptions to rules but that's life
There are exceptions to every rule in English and the majority of rules in maths and science have at least one exception
So there isn't a lot I can do for you unfortunately
