well i bought this thing i'm hoping its a legit pre release disc

Got my fingers crossed for you, that would be sweet man

You should delete that listing before somebody tries to backdoor you. Post the ebay auction after the game has reached your house or something.

That disc is legit. There were very few PS2 betas released to the press with cases like this but that was one of them.

Backdooring someone over an Army Man game, pre-release or not, is one of those rare few scummy acts where the fruits of the crime also serve as justice rendered.  

I saw that auction on ebay a little while ago, was hoping somebody would buy it and shed further light on it. It appears to be two months from its release date, it hopefully has some differences from the final version. Please keep us updated
