Black Label vs. Player's Choice Gamecube games?

[someone3760]

I was wondering which one is worth more, black label or player's choice gamecube games. I have Paper Mario TTYD and Metroid Prime black labeled and Luigi's mansion and Pikmin player's choice and was wondering what is the difference between the two. Thanks!

Player's Choice are the greatest hits reprints, and generally are worth slightly less. I've personally not seen a difference in GCN prices between the two types, but YMMV.

On the PS2 there are a few games where the Greatest Hits offered new levels and features. I'm not sure if any of the Gamecube Players Choice does this, but they are the newest revision. The Players Choice logo in itself has little collectable difference to me, funny how some collectors prefer the non choice version. If anything a PS2GH or GCPC may have a lower production run. On the other hand, I found older copies certain Gamecube games such as Star Wars having full color manuals, where the newer version of the same game went to black and white pages.

In general, Black Labels are worth about a dollar more.

Most prefer Black Labels because of the glaring yellow they use for greatest hits. Yeesh.

I won't touch a Player's Choice GameCube game, that fugly yellow is hideous. At least Nintendo didn't repeat their mistake with the Wii.

If i dont have it in my collection, ill take a players choice, with that said there is 3 different versions of some gamecube games: Players Choice, Black Label, and Black Label with Best Seller gold label.

I know Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door does, because i have the Players Choice one and the Best Seller Black Label one, still looking for a plain Black Label one.

I'd never buy a player's choice version unless it was super cheap and I needed the disc. The yellow labels actively bother me. I can't stand it at all. Same for the red label PS2/3 games, green label PS1 games, platinum Xbox games, and orange label Dreamcast games. It's so disgusting. The only one I can tolerate is the ribbon Nintendo used to print on labels... it wasn't too intrusive. I imagine the market at large doesn't care all that much.

Same games might be different. I know for instance that there are a few versions of Melee, the later ones having some interesting glitches removed. Player's choice label probably indicates at least that you don't have the original. Other games might have similar issues. I doubt this would affect the price though.

I suppose the good news is, these were almost never different versions of the games. It was just the latest version with a different slip. The discs are the same.

With that being said ... I don't have any greatest hits GCN games. Sadly, I do have a couple Best Seller ones. They're on a couple titles I bought new a year or so after they came out and the places I bought them from have no tolerance for you plea of "I'd prefer one without that logo".

The Metroid Prime Player's Choice is supposed to have changes, although I think they're just bug/exploit fixes. Pac-Man World 2 Player's Choice came with Pac-Man Vs.

Yellow label games are the same as black label games, and it isn't worth thinking about the difference in packaging. I know the labels look different, but what's the big deal?
