Steve Jobs is one of the few people who actually changed the world. R.I.P. Steve, and thank you for all your innovations.

The first one has always been my favorite.

Wow, that's perfect timing. I was just about to go buy one this afternoon. We have an old 60 gig, but I'm going off to college and I didn't want to leave my brother without a PS3. That's fifty more bucks I have to play around with :)

I'm not sure what the first "M" rated game I played was, but I know I played Metal Gear Solid when I was about ten years old. To this day I still don't understand how that game is rated "mature."

@DukeTogo: I get ps1 games resurfaced all the time and it never turns them silver, just nice and shiny.

@MarioLuigi: I'm fairly certain these (and the ones that the crazy guy on ebay has) are fake. I wouldn't go spending crazy amounts of money on something like this, and they play exactly the same as the regular black discs anyway.

@destruktive: Yeah, ebay.

I googled the spindel number of the FFIV disk (forth pic from the left), and it's the same as the original FFIV disk. I don't know, maybe they're fakes, but the games work perfectly and I only payed about $20 for it, so I guess it's no big deal.

Awesome video by the way, gotta love the old playstation underground stuff.

So I recently picked up a copy of Final Fantasy Chronicles (the green labeled "Greatest Hits" version), and I was pretty shocked when I opened the case and flipped the discs over. Instead of being black like all of the other Playstation 1 games I've come across in the past fifteen years, these discs are silver, just like a music cd. At first I thought these were fakes, and that I'd been ripped off, but these discs work flawlessly in both my PS1 and my PS3. The labels on the discs seem correct too. They have the proper copyright information and logos, and the label feels like they should (not paper-y or anything like that, they feel exactly like my other Playstation games). I'm going to post a bunch of pics of the discs so maybe you guys can tell me what's going on with these. So far I haven't been able to find anything online about silver-backed ps1 games, except for some douche who's selling a silver backed FF Chronicles on ebay for a thousand dollars. I guess he thinks these are rare, but I doubt it. Anyway, I'm going to get back to Chrono Trigger (I can't believe I never played this, it's pretty rad).

I've had the MGS codec sound as my ringtone for years. It's kind of perfect, because only a few people actually know what it's from, and to everybody else it just sounds like the typical cell phone chirp. The only problem is that I'm constantly checking my phone any time I play a Metal Gear game.
