Default Press Kits

Ok I have a few questions about this persons press kits. I know he sometimes finds random items from games and calls them press kits but he also has some real press kits listed as well.

I have never heard of this kit is it legit or just stuff put togther?

Thanks guys!

Doesnt seem a proper press kit, the steelbook is just from the CE:



For me its more like a promo package. In my opinion a real press kit comes with an art/assets disc and has unique packaging. Sony does this best

If u look other items of this seller, the deus ex isnt a press kit. About the RE:RC i have my doubts, because the patches are in the CE, but u do have unique package, + letter and asset disc.

I guess "press kit" can be interpreted in many different was. By the main stream standards, that Viking is not one. It may have been a "kit" handed to the "press" though.

I agree with what ingmar1988 said, a real "press kit" should have an asset disc for reviewing purposes.

While it may not be an out right press kit, it is indeed an item given to press only and as such contains items which were not released to the public. The extra disc and info pack are two such items.

Numbers will also be considerably more limited.

I agree with the others, it's an edition given very close to the release date.

i can agree on that i've got the Deus ex press kit, it's nothing like what he sells.
