Here is what I've purchased in the past three days. I had FF VII at launch and was probably the only person on Earth that returned the game. I got it as a gift and ended up having them return it to get me a Nintendo 64 game (don't even know which one.) I was only 10 years old at the time and was honestly worried that my Father would be angry when he realized the game had swearing in it. I didn't want him to get upset by it because my Dad is such a nice guy, so I made the choice to have the game returned. I think it was actually a remarkably mature thing to do at my age.
This week though I finally got the urge to purchase these games. For someone who loved the Nintendo games so much it's strange that I never felt like getting the PSX games growing up. All 10 Final Fantasy disc were really mint, and there are no cracks anywhere in the cases. I'm pretty happy with the copies I got and I didn't even have to fight to get them. I didn't even specifically try to get copies that had the manual, but all three games happened to have them anyway, which was great.
