Note

Title: Sony Ys Present Not For Sale
This version was given away to 4000 lottery winners, 400 each week, of the entrants who submitted the customer ticket bundled with Sony HB-F1XD to Sony between 1987-10-21 and 1987-12-31. Lottery losers received the Ys Original Sticker sheet instead.

The content is almost same as the retail version, but the floppy disk drive vendor is checked at startup, and if it is a non-Sony drive, "SONY ONLY !!" is displayed and it does not start even if the MSX is Sony. Conversely it starts on a non-Sony MSX if the drive is Sony. Once it starts there is the extra "Sony Presents" screen before the "Falcom 1987" screen.

The text 非売品 ("Not for sale") is printed on the disk label and on the spine of the case. The disk label furthermore says HB-F1XD Only.
