PSone Silver Bottom Games

[RPG_Fanatic]

Thanks to Dangerboy's web site http://game-rave.com/ Square-Enix released SILVER bottom RPG's for the PSone.
You can buy them from Squares online store http://store.na.square-enix.com/stor...oryID.16256100

Does anyone think these will be worth anything down the road?

the sale items from square's site look to be greatest hits versions.

RPG is referring to the fact that the game discs themselves are Silver Bottom - not the standard black. At some point Sony started reprinting PS2 CD Media and PS1 games in Silver, not the black or dark blue / purple PS2 shades.

So far for the PS1, only 5 Square-Enix games (All on their site) have been confirmed. I know several PS2 games that have been confirmed as well, but their names elude me.

... Dude, did you stop updating the Twitter feed? I missed these last updates.

Edit: Also hopefully this means some companies will consider reprinting PS1 games for the newer generations. I doubt it though.

Ack - I kind of forgot I had Twitter. FB gets updated regularly...

I don't use Facebook, I get enough spam as it is without them helping.

I really doubt that too. It just doesn't make sense when they can just release them on PSN, especially since there are fewer working PS1 systems every day.

It is great that they are relisting and it will create a rarity for variation collectors but those were not the titles I was expecting when I heard a reprint was done.

So many other Square PS1 titles come to mind when I think of those needing a second run. Many dealers still have copies of those titles NIB.

AFAIK, ALL PlayStation consoles can play PS1 games.

I think there could be 1 more possible silver back ps1 game in the future, or already out there. Not a square-enix game either. If Konami re-prints Metal Gear Solid from the Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection, we could see a silver disc from that set. It came out in march of 2008, and the silver discs for the ps2 started around June of 2008.

Since I do collect ps2 games and variants, I started a list of silver back games.

Game is only found on silver back: (11 total)
Army Men: Soldiers of Misfortune
CID The Dummy
Falling Stars
Ford Racing: Off Road
Garfield: Lasagna World Tour (This game is the 1st silver back) 6/27/08
Jeep Thrills
Namco Classic Fighter Collection - Tekken Tag Tournament
PDC World Championship Darts 2008
Pipe Mania
Professional Bull Riders: Out of the Chute
Women's Volleyball Championship

Games that got a silver back reprint: (10 games, so far....)
AMF Xtreme Bowling
Dance Factory
Future Tactics: The Uprising
Midnight Club: Street Racing (GH)
Mountain Bike Adrenaline
Raiden III
Rebel Raiders: Operation Nighthawk
Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure
Star Trek: Encounters
Strawberry Shortcake: The Sweet Dreams Game

Anybody find any others yet?

I just recieved a brand new copy of FF Anthology from Amazon. The CD's are Silver Bottom and are not compatible with the ps3.
