This may seem odd and out of place here on SP but it's the only place I havent asked yet.

Does anybody here own Final Fantasy 8 on PC?

While I am not really an FF fanatic, I am an FF8 fanatic.  I bought FF8 for PC about 4 years ago.  But last year we were roped and they took the computers along with FF8 cd number 2.  and I couldnt finish the game.  And since I've been trying to find another copy but Microplay never heard of FF8 for PC and EB dosent have it.  Ebay does but its too expensive with taxes and duty.  And all I would need would be the second CD anyways cause I have the rest.

You have broadband?  I can make a rip of CD2 for you, if you have a way to get it from me.

Er, I mean, uh... PIRACY IS BAD IT HURTS THE VIDEO GAME MARKET ETC ETC.

try more than once.. i see it alot as well.. site may be new and unstable..

methinks this talk is better suited to PM's, but its hard to ask someone, if you don't know whom to send it to :sad:
