I prefer black label, but I'm content with my Player's Choice versions of Viewtiful Joe, and Kirby's Air Ride. It's a nice reminder that those variants existed. The Best Seller ribbon doesn't bother me whatsoever. Reminds me of the SNES days.
My original version of Windwaker was black label, but I eventually sold it like a dumbass, and later re-bought a K-Mart Exclusive variant. I know Metroid Prime has one of these too. Not sure what else.

If it's a game I need at the right price, I'll pick up a Player's Choice/Greatest Hits/Sega All Stars games, but I have to admit the different colors bother me a bit. Not sure why, I just have always hated the cases for these games.

It's not that I can't enjoy the game - if all I wanted to do was enjoy it, I'd just seek out disk only. But the greatest hits logos all look fugly as hell, so I don't want them on my shelves.Valkyrie-Favor wrote:-I don't care whether my games are first run, "Greatest Hits," reprint, or something else. It doesn't matter! It's always the same game. I'd only seek out a specific version if it had new content. If you can't enjoy a game due to an ugly green strip on the case - a case you're not looking at while playing - that's not good. And I have to say, the color they use on PS2 Greatest Hits is pretty sharp.

Let's not go that far. Opinions aside, there are legit greatest hits exclusives.o.pwuaioc wrote:And in the other thread:Valkyrie-Favor wrote:Yellow label games are the same as black label games, and it isn't worth thinking about the difference in packaging.

I've never heard of a black label US PS2 disc for the updated Silent Hill 2.

Fair. I do have a couple. My copy of Fable is the Lost Chapters, my Twisted Metal Black is the online capable red label. The games that are worth getting their GH version of though are few and far in between.

Anyway. As for rarity... Pokemon XD Best Seller isn't seen often.

I end up buying games way after their initial release so I have lots of this Greatest Hits stuff. Doesn't bother me. The colors are different? I'm colorblind.

The PAL games aren't any better. They use silver boxes with a yellow logo on them.

Re: Black Label vs. Player's Choice Gamecube games?
I can't stand Greatest hits releases simply because they don't conform to the color scheme of the majority of the releases and they stand out like a sore thumb as a result. I'm a bit OCD like that. I want everything to look neat.
