This one goes out to the collectors out there; do you care if a game is the Player’s Choice version or not?

 

I personally don’t care, though I’m not that serious about collecting.  Many “Players Choice” variants are extremely common for games such as F-Zero (which can still be found sealed relatively commonly) and Tetris & Dr. Mario.

 

I’m also glad that PC variants exist, as they generally drive the price of a game down (somewhat).

I didn’t really care at all until I started trying to trade games over the internet. Sooo many people upright refused to trade a game that was player’s choice, even if it was in perfect condition. I just couldn’t understand it.

Maybe I can see not wanting PSone greatest hits because that green was so ugly, but for other systems I personally don’t mind.

PS one Greatest Hits green is definitely the ugliest of all “best seller” labels.  Even that doesn’t bother me though; I recently got Parasite Eve in its ugly green variant.

 

You are right though; some collectors take “Players Choice” vs. “black label” VERY seriously.  Sadly, these people often seem more interested in collecting games than playing them!

Hmm, well not particularly. I suppose if I had the choice Id take the original but a slight label/cover change (unless its horrific)  won’t put me off. Some PS ones I recall are pretty dire though. I can remember the Acclaim Range ones and the White label ones being quite ugly.
