The Best range was used for the PlayStation until 2000 when the PSone and PSone Books range were released. These games were top selling popular titles that were made available again in a low-priced version under this new label. These games did not come in jewel cases like other PlayStation games, but instead came in a slim type box like CD Maxi Singles. The games therefore did not feature a manual and usually only explained the basic controls on the inside of the front cover. The software contained on the discs was usually the original retail game, however bug fixes were applied for a few titles. PSone Books titles were still being released until late 2006.
