so I found a review(?) disc and I'd like to know if anyone knows what it is.
This disc has a netirx folder and I was wondering what it was.
my retail disc: https://app.box.com/s/a3ibnpq6u3b...
the disc content: https://app.box.com/s/bto1y3q0196...
netirx folder content: https://app.box.com/s/oqsc77wqrgf...

Can anyone tell me if it'd be worth getting or their thoughts on it? that netirx folder having files from 2002 is very interesting I think. But I'm a newb.

edit1: I know that nocturne had, at one point, a network function as a test. However this is an ATLUS USA disc. 
Edit2: I can post on playstationage too but I figured I'd ask here first.

Do you have a picture of the actual disc?

Unfortunately, I don't think I do. I can see if I can grab something though.
It looks like a blank disc with "SMT Nocturne" and "reviewable" and "atlus USA" written on it. Thats why I'm asking.

edit: I've got a pic: https://app.box.com/s/prdx0hc8bcd...

I recognize the disc from ebay. I have some more info on Nocturne / Maniax at home that I can check later.

it still is on sale on ebay. I'm very interested in it. I know about stuff on tcrf, but that's an atlus USA disc, thus my interest. So before buying it, I wanted to verify stuff about it.

The contents inside the NETIRX folder match up exactly to my Japanese Nocturne discs (multiple 2002 releases), down to the filesize and timestamps. So it's a bit interesting that those files remain on that particular disc when as far as I know, they were not utilized in any fashion with the 2004 release.

There is also an ISO hanging around out there (has been out for YEARS) that has information VERY similar to the contents displayed there, including the volume descriptor, creation date, and file size down to the byte. Take that how you will, but it sure appears to be the exact same contents as what you shared in the pic of the disc you are interested in. Whether that particular ISO was extracted from that disc, or disc is a burn from that ISO...that is the question  

PM me if you want to discuss it further, but I would be a bit cautious.

Will do. Thank you very much  

For anyone who wants to know what this disc is: This dis appears to be more of a late beta, but still a beta nonetheless.

This disc is not a pirated disc. This is a disc that was made previous to the games release that is not pressed(I was able to track it some ways back across 2, maybe 3 sellers). It has some dialogue differences and a title screen difference, as well as some lack of functionality(event debug free-cam so far and cheat codes work differently, as well as cheat functionality), but most other things are the same, it seems...
I'm not sure if this counts as a double post....
