Store managers in our area were just asked to sign a field destroy form saying that we would be the one to destroy everything. Magazines were specifically mentioned.

Anyone looking at used PSone games be careful of the ones in the clear DVD-sized cases. They came from the distribution center without regard to condition or completeness. I had to pull quite a few that only had one of 3 or 4 discs. Others were cracked around the center hub. Out of the 50 I received, I had to pull 16 for one reason or another. They were sent back by stores as defective rentals (but most "defective" rentals are returned by customers who don't like the game). Just ask to look at them before you buy!
