There's a relatively small chain store in my area, GameExpress, that has boxes of these GH Square/Enix PS1 RPGs. I think I've seen FF Origins, Anthologies and Chrono Cross. They do sell them for more than Fry's, however...

I wonder where all of this stock is coming from? They literally had boxes of this stuff.

Got Grandia II for $3 and Zone of the Enders: 2nd Runner for $5. I'm happy with that last one, I was originally dropping 10 on it, but the clerk rang it up incorrectly or it was marked down, who knows.

I had to order a replacement from Amazon and they sent me one direct from Square. The label over the shrink wrap on the case had a timestamp of production from Nov '08.

Also I'm guessing you could run some sort of disc checking program to tell the date of pressing, but I wouldn't know how.

Also, I noticed that they don't have labels. Is this common among reprints?

You could pop Disc in a Mac then right click "Get Info" on the Disk Icon Game Data Track.

On the PC just right click one of the Data files and choose properties.

Curious if those Re-pressings will show new Re-pressing or Original date though ............
