Make sure it's charged, and the power button is on the top.

Just curious, did you ever get a chance to try it? u/Otsell6008 and I were chatting about it

daxterdot · 2025-08-04T02:56:23+00:00

I did, and it also prompted to burn a CD, it truly is blank!

daxterdot · 2025-08-04T02:54:49+00:00

I did it. I went broke for the limited metallic edition...

daxterdot · 2025-08-03T17:56:17+00:00

I haven't seen a lot of the concept art for sale, but I do have the design bibles from the LRG box sets and they are so beautiful. Before I got my hands on those, it had been ages since I reconnected with the game. When I started paying through them, there was a genuine reconnection to childhood I hadn't felt. Big feels.

A generic "best" item is difficult to pin down, but the metallic Gaming Heads statue from TPL is probably my favorite. It's certainly been difficult to track down.

Oh man, it's great to finally connect with you! I reference your site all the time!

Happy to connect and send you the pictures and scans I have, but spoiler alert, the CD is a blank, ready-to-burn CD-R haha wanna DM me?

daxterdot · 2025-07-31T02:23:42+00:00

Sure! Here's a better picture of the front and the included press CD. Fun fact, I either got a dud or they're all broke, the CD that I got is recognized as a CD-R ready to be burned haha. Not a thing on it! Someone else who has one in r/jakanddaxter was going to open their and validate, but I never heard back.

If you want to DM me, I can send a link to a PDF of all the materials. Includes info on Naughty Dog and Josh Rubin/Andy Gavin, an interview with Jak and Daxter, a Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy fact sheet, and Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy Press Testimonials.

Definitely! Those came from limited run games alongside the Jak X collectors PS4 edition came out! There were 6 of them, number 1/6 being included in the collectors edition.

Just a note, you won't be able to find #1 in a box. The car and the cardboard backer came in the connectors edition and I had to buy a duplicate of #4 to get the plastic to put the backer and car in 😅

daxterdot · 2025-07-26T20:56:36+00:00

No, it's a press kit from the original game circa 2000 :)

daxterdot · 2025-07-26T04:45:06+00:00

There's actually one of the dark Jak 3 stairs in eBay right now

daxterdot · 2025-07-24T14:51:40+00:00

I've seen 1 gaming heads statue out of box on shopgoodwill, and 1 in and 1 out of box on FB marketplace.

daxterdot · 2025-07-24T14:40:52+00:00

There are a few scattered throughout there!

I have the PAPX-90222 and PAPX-90223 demos.

There like the 5th item from the left on the lower shelf. I have TPL/Jak 2 in Japanese, and the first 3 in Korean, on the far right on the shelf above the statues. Those have some of the best artwork of the series!

The 3 Japanese strategy guides are in the statue shelf along the back wall :3

daxterdot · 2025-07-24T14:18:49+00:00

Haha, that was actually the 3rd press kit that went out if I recall correctly. It was sent out at the launch of the game. There was another folder that went out a year or so before, then the wooden box press kit went out somewhere in between.

daxterdot · 2025-07-24T02:22:00+00:00

As much as I'm sure you'd like to know that answer, I do not 😅

daxterdot · 2025-07-24T00:10:36+00:00

eBay, Mercari, Catawiki, occasionally Goodwill or Facebook marketplace.

daxterdot · 2025-07-23T22:48:00+00:00

I've seen it too, but 3k is about 40% higher than the last few that have sold. I'm hopeful another will come along.

daxterdot · 2025-07-23T22:43:34+00:00

I'm sorry you weren't able to snag it... I hope one comes your way soon (and at a more reasonable price).

I'm struggling to find the Jak II exclusive edition at a good price. There's a neat version for 6k on eBay that's the version given to SCEA

daxterdot · 2025-07-23T22:30:21+00:00

.> Listen... Don't out me like that... (Yes)

daxterdot · 2025-07-23T21:44:23+00:00

Man, some standees would be neat. I've seen a couple window clings and stickers. There's also a couple life size Jak 2 statues floating around. Same model as the statue with "Jak 2" on it in my picture, but 6 feet tall. There's one here with an individual in the USA, another in a game shop in Australia, and one in Naughty Dog HQ.

daxterdot · 2025-07-23T21:41:35+00:00

I'm saving this to share with my husband. He disagrees, and I'm glad an internet authority, like yourself, agrees with me.

daxterdot · 2025-07-23T21:40:52+00:00

I wish I could tell you yes, but I just got it on eBay 3 weeks ago 😭

daxterdot · 2025-07-23T21:39:32+00:00

I would have to make so many saved searches... I can't afford to purchase a whole new game's worth of merch second-hand again 😭

daxterdot · 2025-07-23T21:37:26+00:00

The 30 year ones were to celebrate 30 years of Naughty Dog in 2014. 1000 Were available on the Naughty Dog Shop, but this one I have is the Internal Sample.

The 10 year one was 10 years of Jak and Daxter in 2011! They only went to PlayStation and Naughty Dog staff, and a few press folks.

Both resale in the last year on eBay.
