In this video I show off my copy of Final Fantasy Anthology for the PS1 that has a silver disc. Most people are not aware that Sony allowed the reprinting of PS1 games as late as 2019, mostly because the only company that found it worth printing their games for that long was Square Enix. Because the manufacturing tools to create discs with the black surface were eventually taken out of use, very late PS1 printings were instead printed with a disc that was silver. This is just a demonstration of one of those games working.

    I had no idea. If they’ve been printing these as late as 2019, that sounds promising for aspiring indie game developers who might want to press their games on silver discs

  • i got silver reprints of final fantasy origins, chronicles, anthology, 9, and chrono cross off the square enix store back in 2020 as part of a black friday sale also got reprints of ff 10 and 10-2 as well as kingdom hearts 1 and 2 i added in kh3 and also shenmue 3 at the time to hit 100 usd or so to get free shipping. it was like 3.75 each ps1 game and 5.00 for each ps2 game. this was the last time i bought anything physical for older systems.

    Well I'll be damned...I bought a "new" copy off of eBay years ago and thought it was a bootleg because it did not have the case sticker on top or was falsely being sold as "new" because of that cheap shrink wrap job. Now I feel bad for returning it to the seller.

    Yay physical games. So review tech USA quit the news spin cycle. I'm happy for the man, for the first time in years I'm happy to be a subscriber because I know when he comes back his occasional videos that he will upload will be quality. And he admits he makes enough money on the streams so that's a win-win for him and us.

    What HDMI cord are you using on your PS1. They're all over the internet. Nice flex with final fantasy x.
