I think he meant alphabetically, and it somehow got mangled via auto-correct or some such thing.

No, I really mean autobiographically - arranging your collection according to what time in your life you bought/played the games in it.

I prefer original cases. Out of hundreds of games I own, only own two "greatest hits" versions of games. Red Dead Redemption and Uncharted 2. Both were gifts.

How would that help though? If you bought launch games for a certain system they'd all be 'black label' but GH stuff would be all sprinkled throughout the time of the system and of course any postmortem games can be either or as well. You'd still end up with a mix of them unless you were selective when purchasing.

I think the greatest hits labels look cheap, but I don't display my games and choose to keep them hidden away in binders, so I guess I have a preference that doesn't really matter.

Virtua Fighter 4 EVO

There may be more, but this is all I can think of now.
Silent Hill 2
Heavy Rain also.

Awesome! I did not know that! I have the original release, but I will have to hunt down a GH copy of that game.
Really? That's the version I own and didn't even realize it had extra content.

...what's different about it exactly? :lol:
