i went and bought new copies of final fantasy anthology and IX (greatest hits versions), and they are not playing in my ps2. i also bought FFVIII which works. i noticed anthology and IX discs werent black like the original PSX games are supposed to be while VIII is. Does anybody know what the deal is? if it helps the discs are supposed to be USA copies and i bought them brand new from amazon.com so i need help asap if ima need to return them

Did the pictures of the discs on Amazon show the backs or just the case?

Every PS1 game I've put into a Slim PS2 worked fine. If you have that original model PS2, you might have problems.

those discs are meant to have a black surface to them , all PS1 games do .

there is a fair chance they are actually bootleg copies.

That's right. I forgot about that. Then again, I didn't get FF Anthology, but the IX discs had black backs.

it was basically a trademark PS1 thing, Ive never seen a PS1 game with a silver surface to it. if he could post a picture of the discs, labels, box , etc, it would help, since we can see from those if these are legit. of course someone could just take out the original discs out of a legit box and replace them with bootlegs so who knows.

Neither have I. I have seen modded discs though. I'm not sure if its the same, but I remember my Uncle told me the way to tell if a music cd is real or bootleg is to look at the center...I forgot what it is...they look different, though.

I had the NTSC version. So, you might be getting ripped off.

Some of the things that seem like they come "directly through Amazon," do not in fact come through Amazon. Amazon is in a really messy state these days. I would suggest reporting it to Amazon, because all PS1 games should have black discs.

im not stressin it. ive already sent them back. ill just go buy them from someone else, hopefully ill get a playstation game this time lol. they really did look legit though, case and manual all brand new. im still not convinced they did it on purpose cause one outa the 3 was good, i think someone screwed them over and they didnt realize it.
