I know this isn't Nintendo, but I don't know where else to ask. This game seems so rare that there has never been any sales recorded with the memory card. Any idea on value? Ive had offers, but how would you compare it to anything? Thanks in advance.

Interesting. What is it and what does the memory card do to it/for it? Looks like a standard 1GB MS Pro Duo. Is there something special?

Its a game that Hilton created to train their staff. Its like a simulator. It was made by the same company that did America's Army. To make a long story short the UMD is locked. Without the special files on the MC there is no way for the game to be accessed. There has been a few people with the game, I think 2 but even that is unconfirmed, but nobody has ever had the memory card with it. This one was acquired from Rerez. He is a YouTube personality. He found it in pieces and put it together.

You have to have the memory card with the special files on it to play this game. No stick the game does nothing.

Maybe upload the files somewhere? Or at least make backup copies so that card doesn't accidentally get nuked and everyone, everywhere lose access to that game/app?

-------------------------
Need Stadium Events + Panesian titles, 6-in-1's, Menace Beach, Moon Ranger & Secret Scout to complete my licensed/unlicensed sets.

If you've got any of the above for sale, hit me up!

That is something I dont know how to do. Also I dont even have a PSP anymore. I was thinking of selling this so that I could build a fence to keep my insane neighbour off my property.

Are you by chance in Toronto? I would be happy to dump the game for you, I have my PSP set up to do so. If you're close you can come to my place to do it.

Unless the files are protected somehow (MagicGate?) then you can probably just copy them to your computer. Heck, many PCs have a Memory Stick slot right there with the Compact Flash and SD card slots.

This is really cool! Hope you can find someone to help you out.

You said you need a new fence, so maybe a trade with with someone for parts and labor?

That's so weird...I was thinking about this game this morning, wondering when one would pop up again because it's been so long!

-------------------------
Have any GBA NFR games with back stickers for sale or trade?  See my want list below :)

Is this thing licensed?

I guess time will tell if this is the Stadium Events, or the Huge Insect of the PSP Library.

Very cool item and I'd expect just the UMD to go for a couple hundred. A fully functional one probably twice as much. If there's a box for it then double/triple that price again.

-------------------------

Got any of these for sale? Sell them to me. I also buy other NES Publisher inserts, and even GB/GBC, and SNES inserts too.

I'd ask Jaxbox, he's big into handhelds. Nintendo ones primarily but he may have some in sight!

I've had items like this in the past but not this exact item.

The first one that comes to market will certainly get a premium.
Personally if it were mine I'd ask $1000.

Cool, I read about this some years back. I never had actually seen a picture of it though.

I'm with Buyatari on this one. It feels an awful lot like it belongs with Joey, Exertainment, and M.A.C.S . If I had it I'd be happy with about $1K USD

According to the article it is indeed officially licensed by Sony:  The developing studio became a licensed PSP developer just so it could get the game certified and fabricated as a UMD.

Apparently only 500 were manufactured, so this is almost certainly the rarest PSP game. Also, I have no idea, but I would presume that they did come in at least some sort of case if they were manufactured by Sony... who knows how many of those have survived?!

Anyway, amazing find, this is really interesting!

I guess he decided it's worth US $11,452.25 U.S and $14,999.00 Canadian. It definitely is rare and cool though.

Were the SD files ever uploaded?
