I prefer a policy of honesty, too many people lately trying to use 'NOT IN MAME' and 'NOT DUMPED' as well as 'PRE-RELEASE' and 'PROTOTYPE' to inflate prices. Not impressed by it at all, not going to pander to such behaviour either.
We went through a spell of it about 10-15 years back where people started doing the same with bootlegs etc. because they often had different PCB designs or handwritten labels, that was just as irritating. We've also seen it with cheaply produced Korean PCBs for similar reasons, it gets old.
It's rare, it exists, but it's not exactly surprising for a company that churned out revisions like they were going out of style, nor is it likely to be that special.
I'd be much more interested in the rumoured early CPS3 revisions that were only available as pre-programmed flash, never on CD, whereby as soon as you put a CD in they'd update and be lost.
