Never loan your gmes to anyone other than family, a wise tip told to me by my dad. But just as all young fools do, I gave a game to a friend, when it came back after 3 months...it didnt work...I only wish I had listened to my dad, there goes another 30 quid down the swany. Seriously though, never lend games to anyone, even if you really trust them...you'll live to regret it.

I have loaned quite a few of my games to my friends and they have all come back in the same quality. I don't know what kind of mates you guys have but if I lend out my games, my mates treat them like solid gold, it’s a matter of respect.

Your mates must have no respect for you or your belongings, if they ruin your games. Also I know if one of my mates accidentally looses or breaks my game, I know they will replace it even if they have to get it off Ebay at over rated prices, they would get it for me. That even if I say cash will be fine they would get the game as well as offering me the cash. Now that’s having a true friend!

I never actually got to disc three. I got about 2 hours into the first disc before going back to FF7.

Just got FF7 through the post today from e-bay :-)
Time to replay the most awesome PS1 game ever. Yay!

I was the same. It was like playing through an intensely boring dream.

X-2, in my opinion anyway, should never have seen the light of day. Blatant cash in attempt and it was just dire, played the first chapter and never went back to it. Just plain horrible

What's X-2 like?

I'm playing through X now and, to be honest, I like it. I think it's a lot better than some people will have you believe.

Nope apart from X-2 and 3 that's the only one i haven't completed. Gave up on it halfway through disc 3 as i just couldn't take anymore, it was boring me to tears

Did you ever actually complete that? I couldn't live without FF7, but FF8? Nah, never really got into that one.

I haven't lived to regret it. I've leant about 5 games back now, granted they've only been to 3 different people, but they came back all right

Normally they have 'em for quite a bit and one of my mates lost the booklet but it's not too hard to get another one.

I've just got one I recently lent out back - fingers crossed it works ...

Leant FF8 to one of my friends in school and it took her about a year to give it back. Can't say i was that bothered about it though really. :-D
