V-Rally: 97 Championship Edition Platinum (France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, UK)

V-Rally: 97 Championship Edition is a rally racing game developed and published by Infogrames, and one of the better known PAL racers on the original PlayStation.

This variant is the Platinum release, which reuses the base serial SLES-00250. Platinum was Sony’s label for proven best sellers, and this edition was distributed widely across Europe, with the catalogue listing Spain, the Netherlands, Italy, the UK, France, Germany, Sweden and Norway. The disc supports English, French and German, and a single disc comes in a Full Jewel PAL case with a Hologram B. The EAN barcode is 3546430002933.

The broader country list, including the Nordic markets, sets it apart from the Original pressing, and the barcode differs accordingly. Collectors who like to have the full range of Sony Platinum reprints will find this a useful addition to a V-Rally set.
