portrait of ruin
Okay! Here we have the preorder 20th anniversary goodies set for the US version of Portrait of Ruin. I hate waiting for the US release of a game, but since it was coming with stuff, I had to wait.
I'll add other scans as I get my hands on different things, too. =p

Displaying the...
01 :: "wax seal" on the box
02 :: CD sampler
03 :: CD track listing. I found it particularly cruel that songs from Rondo are included. Also interesting is the typo in the title of track three. Oops? And I swear that some of the song titles aren't exactly right, especially for Dawn, but then again, I never played the US version.
04 :: stylus and game case (holds two DS games)
There's also a double sided "poster" with the game's cover art on one side and a CV timeline on the other. I have NOT scanned this yet, my computer blew up while I was pieceing the timeline images together. =/ I'll add that in a day or two.

Mini artbook! It's nice and fat but kinda small, like the size of a DVD case. Now, if you've been on this site for more than 30 seconds, you'll realize that everything in here is the same old stuff (except the Portrait images, of course) but as this is the only artbook that's been made available in the US, let's show it some respect.
Check out the awkward translations of the comments by IGA, Kojima, and Yamane. It's been translated so literally that it seems really stilted. >.>
other images
Some other scans. First is a smallish (about 12x8) advertising poster originally displayed at Gamestop stores, and the second is the mini promo poster that came with the soundtrack (scanned at definitely NOT mini size).
