It was one of the best selling consoles of all time, and many gamers and investors are seeking out the most valuable to add to their collection. The reason Square Enix still makes them is because demand is still high.Rare PS1 Games are becoming a highly sought after piece of art within the retro gaming community. The reason I sell a lot of them is because demand is still high. Square Enix manufactures brand new copies of 5 FF games and Chrono Cross. A company called Enix merged with SquareSoft to form Square Enix. The originals were made by SquareSoft, and they say so on the cover. When these games were released, Square Enix did not even exist. Square Enix made so many that 12 years later there are still some left? No. These FF games were released 12 years ago. Do you think Amazon purchases bootlegs too? And Square Enix allows them to get away with it? No. Notice that Amazon themselves sell PS1 FF games, a ton of them. What amazes me is that people can be so committed to an idea just because it "makes sense", regardless of evidence to the contrary. There is no way that SquareEnix currently makes PS1 titles anymore! I kind of had the feeling that you're a pirated game seller all along, instantvidegames. Of course, the other (and even more plausible scenario) is that these are not made by SquareEnix at all, but by a pirated manufacturer! That would explain the recent manufacturing dates on their cases as well. There is no way that SquareEnix currently makes PS1 titles anymore! If you've been selling 50 of these a month, as you claim, and they are infact in shrinkwrap, then they've been re-wrapped by your distributor, or someone that your distributor gets it from (or someone before that).

What jrindahl says makes sense in regards to the PS1 Final Fantasy titles (again note, it's the PS1 FF games we're talking about here, not PS2 or PS3). Do you have any idea how many of those sell? I am but a pimple on the butt of Video Game sales, and I sell at least 50 of those per month. How do I know? The cases have a date on manufacture on them. No, I don't think they are pumping those out of the factory now, I know for a fact they are they are pumping those out of the factory now, in shrink wrap. You seem to think you know a lot about a game you have never bought wholesale.

I COLLECT PS3 GAMES AND IF IT DOES NOT HAVE THE Y FOLD SEALS, I WON'T BUY THEM, IT'S NOT FACTORY AND YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO PASS THEM OFF TO A COLLECTOR AS FACTORY seal, unless it's a collector's edition, then I will check for nice and thick plastic. all ps3 games come from the factory with a Y fold seal, unless it's the collector's edition. This also applies to ALL ps1 games, MOST xbox games, except for games released with an orange "DO NOT SELL BEFORE" sticker at the top where it IS shrinkwrapped or any box set games, where it is shrink wrapped. Game 1 Shrink wrap only (Don't let anyone fool you, a shrink wrapped game has NO, NONE, NEVER, any more value than an opened game. (a game with a security strip and shrink wrap is at the same desireabilily as a security strip w/o any plastic on it.) At this point the shrink wrap's only value is protecting it from dust. Game 1 Y fold seals no security strip will go for premium Game 1 Y fold seals + Security strip will go for premium + on the disc.Įxamples of value and a true collector will know. The game disc itself won't have the holographic "rings" a genuine game disc should have, and you may also see even more altered graphics design with yet more fake logos, seals, etc.

Once you open the game pack, it will become more obvious as the manual will be short with more poorly written english and will generally comprise of basic game function and controls only. Also if the printed descriptions seem like they are written in poor broken English (as most of these bootlegged fake material originally come from the greater China area), then the game pack is possibly a fake. Pay attention to the graphics, logos, upc codes, and any seals of authenticity and make sure that they are all genuine.

But be aware that software pirates have gotten very sophisticated to try and make even the packaging look as authentic as they possibly can. Seriously though, there maybe tell tale ways of identifying a fake/pirated/bootleg game pack by closely examining the game pack itself.

So, im just wondering how to spot a fake seal on a game that was released without security strips in the seal.įor fake illegal bootlegged / pirated games, just look at what instantivideogames has in his inventory, and avoid it like the plague! I know that the newer ps2 games were factory sealed without the security strips like ps3 games. I've been buying sealed ps2 games and noticed that many of the older ps2 games released had security strips in their seal on the very top of the case.
