(Assuming we're talking about the Legend of Mata Nui beta)

Um, of course it exists. Where else did all those screenshots, videos and audio files come from? Plus another BIONICLE fansite actually shows the physical disk.

Hardly a myth.

1) She didn't know what she was talking about.

2) You were referring to different disks.

3) She was intentionally lying because she did not think that you could find it.

She knew what it was, and she toldme all about the beta hoax.

Funny then how this "hoax" fooled every single fan of LEGO, including LEGO employees themselves.

Funnier still that one of those "fake" videos was used as a promo ad for the game on the promo Toa Mata CDs, way back in '01.

And even funnier still that LEGO used several of those "fake" screenshots in their video summaries of 2001-2003 that they posted back in 2006.

Listen to this, I never said the game it's self was fake:

Dear Michael

 

My name is Samantha and I am the BIONICLE® expert here at LEGO Consumer Services. Randi came to me for assistance with your enquiry. Seeing as you are obviously a dedicated adult fan I thought I would write back to you myself.

 

My role here is to support the representatives on the phone as well as all of the consumers they support. Basically my job is to know everything about BIONICLE. Just like many adult fans like yourself I eat, sleep, and breathe BIONICLE. As I am a dedicated adult fan as well I can absolutely understand the passion and commitment that you and your friends posses. I would love to give you all exactly what you desire but unfortunately I cannot.

 

As you know, the Mata Nui game that we planned to release in 2001 was never completed. We did make progress in designing the game but we no longer have access to that content. As the game was abandoned so many years ago we have not maintained a record of the original content. In short, there is no beta disk in existence to send you. I am sorry to disappoint you as I know this is not the news you wanted to hear.

 

You are not the first fan to ask me for this. To every fan longing to uncover the rarest relic in BIONICLE history, I say the same thing: I am sorry but the beta disk is a myth.

 

I thank you for your dedication and enthusiasm for the BIONICLE line. As a frequent visitor of BZPower myself, I know how passionate our adult fans can be.

I'm not one, however my email says that I am 29.

Well of course they'd say that. You want everyone getting a beta disk so it doesn't stay a legend?

There's way too much proof now to just say it never existed.

She never said there weren't any disks, but that they didn't have any on hand.

She also said it was a myth.

the beta exists

do a bit of googling and you might be able to find it

finding an actual disk would be significantly harder but finding what's on it shouldn't be too hard if you know where to look etc.

Greg has stated that he knows someone who has the disk.

Who do you believe? Greg or a random customer service person?

She seems pretty legit, though.

Lots of people can sound legit but that doesn't mean they are.
