I got my Resident Evil 4 demo disc thanks to my last minute purchase of the Pure Evil double pack. It was rather interesting -- I got the disc in just a paper sleeve with an ad for Viewtiful Joe 2 on it. I feel pretty lucky to actually get it, as the sticker on the top broke during shipping so when I picked it up, the disc literally fell into my hand.
I haven't checked it out yet, but with only 10,000 of these made and the fact it contains a "Resident Evil Retrospective" along with the other stuff interests me. Has anyone else got theirs yet?

i got one too, about a month ago. i still havnt gotten around to really playing it (and i dont own re4), since i also got an xbox and around 8 games about two weeks earlier.
the sticker on mine came loose as well, and the disc got caught on it, resulting in a bit of sticker residue on the data side of the disc..

You got these when you purchased the Pure Evil Resident Evil double pack for the GameCube. There was a code where you went to a Web site and if you were one of the first 10,000 to request it and requested before the end of January, you got a free demo disc.
I feel pretty lucky... I requested my disc on January 31st. I guess that means less than 10,000 of these discs were made.
I played with it a little last night. There are movies of all the different RE games on it. I watched three of them. Both RE0 and RE1 have Japanese subtitles, which I found odd. Pretty nifty little disc though!

I believe it's the same disc as the "keep-case" RE4 demo, it just has a paper packaging.

Anyone have pictures or know if this is true as I'm getting the other demo already.

Don't know if it is true, that's part of what I'm wondering...
The identifying numbers are DL-DOL-D4BE-USA and DOL-006 (USA)

I'm at work right now so I can't check my copy.. I'll look it up when I take my lunch break.
I got mine too about a month ago.
It's really cool, as it has video trailers for REmake, RE0, RE2, RE3, RE:CV and RE4. Plus a nice playable RE4 demo.

back from lunch... just checked my keep case version - exact same disc, the numbers are exactly the same.

Both RE0 and RE1 have Japanese subtitles, which I found odd.
The Japanese versions of all the RE games have the dialogue in English.

Is some of the material on here repeted from the "Wesker's Report" DVD that came with some of the PS2 Code Veronicas?

Yes, but this is a US demo disc.

Yes, but this is a US demo disc.
The video clips of the games are more than likely clips of the Japanese versions, which I think was his point.

It sounds a lot like the bonus disc with the RE4 Cube being released over here, except this one has a playable demo of Metroid Prime 2 on it (or at least with it) as well. Sketchy details on the Game site:

I'm thinking about picking one up this Friday, but I'm having trouble convincing myself that I need to spend an extra £50 and have two Cubes rather than just buy the game...

I don't know... even so, that is still very odd to me.
If you watch them, you'll see what I mean. They seem to be more than just simple subtitles, but more like statements about the games. I can't imagine it would have taken Capcom more than a day to take them out, and I haven't seen any of the RE titles released in the US with Japanese subtitles, so I find it interesting.
That having been said, for the price (free with Pure Evil double pack) I really can't complain.

Thats what I already ordered...but I'm assuming what they have is different (at least in packaging). Thats what I'm trying to figure out.

yeah, even if the disc is the same, i would like to see the packing and what it all came with. I would love to have both versions.

this is what the 'pure evil' demo looks like. the big white spot on the black side is where your address would be printed. there were no inserts.

The address was actually a sticker, which I found odd since there was that open space for it.
I'm debating taking the sticker off mine or leaving it on. Since I'm not actively collecting GameCube stuff (more like just playing it...) I'll probably just leave it on.
