If there are no shops in your area selling new Playstation games, Agetian (apparently in the US it's not uncommon for games shops to sell them - new, shrink wrapped and cheap!), try ebay or Amazon. Certainly, in the UK you can get copies on ebay for £10 or so plus a couple of quid postage - that's £12, or about $24 US - and I would imagine prices would be cheaper in the States.

On one occasion I had a copy of Final Fantasy IX with one faulty CD (bought it second hand in a local hole-in-the-wall...) and managed to find someone on ebay selling new individual CDs for that game!

Edit: for some reason, Final Fantasies VII, VIII and IX do seem to be very sensitive to CD damage. I've had trouble with a Final Fantasy IX CD, as above, and a similar problem with a Final Fantasy VIII CD. Both looked in reasonable condition, with only one or two light scratches that I wouldn't have expected to cause problems - come to think of it, I think they're the only Playstation CDs I've had problems with.
