Does anybody here have the "Sample" version of the Dreamcast Japanese Shenmue 2?

I have seen "Sample" versions of both Shenmue 1 and US Shenmue,but would like to confirm if a Shenmue 2 one exists.

It looks the same as the normal versions,it just has a blue bubble with "Sample" written,like in the pic I've included below.

While Shenmue I sample version is just a regular "sticker" that you could make yourself i guess, Shenmue II sample cover is a bit different (no sticker is what i mean).

I cannot give details as i do not have any, but i do have it :

I might be wrong but after doing some search, the only picture i've found on the net was mine. Other Shenmue hardcore collectors may have it, but until they decide to post their picture, the only picture i have is mine.

I've had some luck to get mine. A shop owner sold me his brand new sealed Shenmue II Demo Disc and gave me the Shenmue II Sample Cover as a gift. So my guess is that this cover probably came with the Shenmue II Demo Disc at some point and was a cover used by japanese shops during Shenmue II release.

Might there be something interesting in the files on the sample disc?
