Variants
Version 2 – “With Final Fantasy VII Data”
The demo has a completely identical variant except for some data buried in one of the sub-folders. Essentially one has movie files for Final Fantasy VII and the other does not. There is no way to tell which disc is which from the outside, you *must* put it into a computer and do file checks. That said, there are several ways to do the file check based on your availability.
The easiest way is to toss them into a PC and compare file sizes. There will be a 50-ish Meg difference between the two.
If you throw the discs into a computer or media player that reads track names, you can use the track names. One disc will have the Track Names labeled, the other disc will not.
If you don’t have a media player, the files for the FF7 movie are buried (or not…) in the Main –> Menu — > Movies Path.
Toys R Us included the “With FF7” variant in a crazy mailer program.
They sent you the large outer envelope, inside was the sealed demo, the red mailer, and then the gray pamphlet that opened into the poster. Once you had access to the contents, Sony offered folks the chance to snag one of the PlayStation Underground issues for free.
This meant they sent you a free demo even if you never bought the PlayStation, and another demo if you did buy the system. On top of this, the gray pamphlet advertises the “Power Price” series of releases intended to lowball the more expensive Nintendo 64 cartridge games. Toys R Us’ exclusive black and white digital controller colors can also be spotted on the red mailer.
