Whoa... wait... slow down. So you're saying your first PS3 scratched your Blu-Ray game beyond the coating? That is some serious fault and you should have gotten your money back (used or otherwise... raise hell). The BR coating does help prevent scratches, but of course nothing is ever fool proof. To say the coating is a lie is really pushing it considering you are the only one who found a player that damages the disk that I have heard of. Yes, I did raise significant amounts of hell, and they didn't believe me until I showed them the gouges on the disc's data side for MGS4. :mad:

If the disks are unplayable your saves will be fine and usable if you happen to buy another hard copy of the game. I understand this is not possible with the DL but you basically made the same point twice and it is a stretch that they would even get scratched up to the point of unplayability (yes I know it happens to you often--no need to reiterate)begin with.

Due to the value of the game it may be best to not use disks at all anyway, just to be safe. But I still don't expect to get it for free as its my choice if i get a DL version of the game even though I already have the hard copy. I think thats the whole point of this discussion at this point...?

I still like FF3 better. :)

At least with the download, there's no having to worry about this. And even if the hard drive in the ps3 fails, it's not a huge deal to re-download since it's tied to your account.

Or hunting down those rarer enemies that can teach you the various enemy skills so you can master (up to) all four of those materia. Since FF V, I'd been able to appreciate just how awesome it becomes when you can have a bunch of people able to cast those enemy skills/blue magics, and there was at least one FAQ on GameFAQs I'd wanted to try which had the strategy for being able to max out all four possible Enemy Skill Materia you could get in-game.

And what are you talking about in terms of grinding. I know what it means but how is this any different? The only thing I can think of is if you download saves or something but that doesnt make sense.

Or just another chance to bash your poor luck with Sony products by referring back to something that happened many years ago?

No matter, I guess that is a viable reason for the couple of people in the world who may be concerned their PS3 is gonna eat their disk.

Damn, all this talk about this game is making me wanna play it again. But too many other ones out right now I need to get to. :)

Problem is a "hard copy" of the game is now selling for $60-$100 each online...more than its new price. The game has a huge fanboy/collector following and Sony knows that.
In which case you're not buying the same thing over again, you don't own the game - so buying it for $10 from the online store may seem like a good deal to you. That's fine. I'm talking for people that own the game already.

BF69 - I knew someone would make that comparison, but this is a totally different medium. A record to a tape/CD = new medium, costs to produce/distribute/etc. Whereas this is just a download. No extra medium on Sony's part, it's $10 pure profit. They would pay for bandwidth if you do or don't download the game.

That's why I said YMMV - if you're happy shelling out $10 for a download of a game you already own, then that's cool. Have at it. Me, no thanks.
Well, no. You actually covered both bases by saying it should be $5 for those that don't own it. So not entirely true.

Can you elaborate as to why someone who owns the game would want to download it besides being too lazy to put the game in the machine?

I guess I dont see the need to even download it if I already own it. I do own a copy and would just play the disk if needed.

Another question: On the download, has Sony purchased the rights from Square or are they shared? this obviously could shoot many holes in your validation theory as well if the publisher is different in each case.

It honestly doesn't matter to me either way but I find your logic silly.I own a HUGE collection of NES games. People play to download them on the Wii. Nintendo charges people for them. I sure wish I could validate all these NES games I have and get them for free downloads. Especially the huge cash cows like the mario games!

From a business standpoint it doesnt make sense and publishers would never even release these games if the public expected this.

You sir are in a minority using this mindset I believe. :)

I know many of you are fine with paying it, but really, it's mad to me to do so. If you OWN the game already, there should be some way for you to "validate" you have a copy and get the download for free.

It's no different from the Wii downloads of old NES games - they want $10 for some of them too, which is just as asinine.

I must have bought at the right time. I bought an original disc set about 4 years back for 10 bucks off of ebay.

Heck, go into any store to buy a disc of PS2 or PS1 games and none of the good ones are usually cheaper than $10. It's still not a bad price for a great game.

please do tell. i just got out of the golden saucer prison and just got Yuki. I think all my characters are chilling around lvl 20 right now.
I am quoting from a web site as its been a while for me so here goes:

if you want to get the powerful enemy skill Beta, which the Midgar Zolom casts, follow these steps. Firstly, equip one person with the Enemy Skill materia and Fire + Elemental on his/her armor. Cloud is a good pick for this since he probably has the highest max HP right now. Also, have someone in your group have the Poison and Restore materia. Next, confront the Midgar Zolom and Bio right away. If the Midgar Zolom doesn't turn green, cast it again. Keep on attacking it and healing until it stands up to its full height. At that time, have only the person without the Enemy Skill or the Restore materia attack. Why? It's because the Zolom will eventually do a move that'll cast one person out of the battle, usually the person that hit it last. Now, attack it with all your might, but have the person with the Enemy Skill materia with an HP of over 500 at least. The Zolom will then cast Beta. Heal up and revive ASAP, then kill it off. At that time, the Beta materia should be yours. Phew!

ps - the midgar zolom is the worm looking creature in front of the cave near midgar city]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-PS3-FF-VII-available-for-download-22506843 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 11:52:45 EDT Re: PS3 - FF VII available for download http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-PS3-FF-VII-available-for-download-22505551 said by franzcatch:

I am about 4 hrs in...not bad..kinda simple, and some of that story line cheese, but I like the way the game is done. You can tell there was a lot of out of the box thinking here.
The game only gets better, especially the whole side quest with Yuffie in Wutai

Not to spoil it for you but if you have not passed up the Midgar Zolom yet there is a way to make your game a lot easier.

I'm still curious if this is a straight up emulation of the original or are there enhancements. Just wondering if its better than using epsxe emulator.
I don't think I've gotten there yet...I just escaped reactor 5 and got the girl back to her house w/ her mother and slipped out the door.

I still have my original PS1 copy.

I was hoping for an announcement of a remake rather than a re-release. Even with as good of a game as FFVII was(is), I don't know if I can take the old graphics... LOL :)
Have you tried it on ePSXe 1.7.0 with all the graphics options on high (1024x768 or higher resolution, high res textures, AA...)?

It almost looks like an entirely different game - in a good way]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-PS3-FF-VII-available-for-download-22499408 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 01:08:47 EDT Re: PS3 - FF VII available for download http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-PS3-FF-VII-available-for-download-22497709 said by franzcatch:

When I downloaded it, I believe it was 1.82 GB total. Will have to double check in a bit to be certain of exact size. I know it was over 1.2 GB though.

And for $10 it's definitely worth it, even with the old graphics. Heck, my girlfriend and I played through Secret of Mana not too long ago on the Wii, and those graphics were even worse; especially since they were stretched out on a 40" TV :p.

It would be awesome to have a re-make though. But hey, for $10 you can't find a much better game :).

Just downloaded it this morning.

Hopefully this isn't old news for anyone :p.

I hadn't heard anything about a release for it and only found it cause my brother mentioned it was on there. And for $9.99 it's a great deal.
