Remember about 5-10 years ago when scores of classic Playstation titles were being released?
Well I didn't see much of them because I bought an N64 instead.
And I'd STILL choose Goldeneye and Zelda over anything that CD spinner had to offer! :-P

Nonetheless, I resultantly missed out on some real classics.
I dabbled a bit of the PC version of Final Fantasy 7, and while it gave me a taste of the game (even got as far as the last Sephiroph), the fact that it liked to crash every 10 minutes in the Windows XP enviroment really sort of put a dampener on it.

So I went to Ebay and got my hands on the real thing.
So I've got a few games headed my way with it, but what I REALLY wanted was Final Fantasy 7. Now, it was on Ebay but it was going for pretty high amounts... and that was second hand.
I tried all sorts of places in search of a better offer, including Amazon.
I mean if THEY didn't have it, who could possibly?


:-)

Not only did SR have it, they were doing it cheaper than anyone on Ebay, AND without P&P AND offered me a cheap memory card with it.
Okay, so they probably won't top the MGS I picked up for £2.55 (That's including the £2 of P&P! :-D) and the Tekken 3 for just £2.50.
But for those PSOne games that are still worth anything (the classics that can't kick the old one away with nicer graphics), it seems that SR are the best place to go.

Think it came out around the same time as all the other formats. Not sure though.
