Do you hate Greatest hits/Players choice games?

I have been trying to break my prejudice of red labels. Its so hard but I dont think i mind them on PS3 so much. I have gotten a few from people I know and in fact i may prefer that sexy red case. For some reason I think they look cool. Red back ps2 games on the other hand with that maroon color makes me want to vomit, yellow gamecube games are like satan's big toe gunk, and don't get me started on Nintendo selects. at least Players choice, platnuim hits or greatest hits have cover art. Nintendo selects are a joke. half the art is just screaming how its a cheap lame copy. I feel its a compulsion, something ingrained in me and its so hard and difficult for me to avoid them. But I think I have to come to terms with the fact that its the same game, different case. With ps3 the original releases have a red label anyway. so it doesn't look so off putting together. Plus with the new blue labels, its really just so man colors to keep track of.

Do you guys hate Red labels too? To the point where you will refuse them? I wish they wouldn't bother to make them. They can do a price drop without changing the whole case, I assume its more costly to make a whole new color? im not sure tho

Granted I will always buy a black label if one is offered for the same value, but I don't think I will refuse to buy a game from gamestop if the only copy they have is red and its cheap.  I don't think I can care anymore. time to diversify. I wont specifically go after reds because I do like originals more, but I am trying so hard to not hate them.  Wish me luck guys  :D

I hate them with a passion, in fact I have gone out of my way to only get non-greatest hits copies of games. I have a total of one in my collection and that is only because it never received a non-greatest hits release, at least in North America (Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution on the PS2 if you're wondering). My least favorite are PS1 greatest hits. That green looks terrible.

I don't care personally. In fact, (this may sound odd) it's kind of cool to have diversity on the shelf, whether it's different shaped/colored game cartridges or whether it's different game spines (Platinum/Greatest Hits/Players Choice/Selects). I understand some collector's liking having the initial release of a game (more valuable, older version etc.) but if you only collect games for the external value and not of the content in the actual game I think you are missing out, especially if you consider yourself a gamer. If a game is cheaper as a value title, I'll grab it.

I can't stand Greatest hits titles. I always try to avoid them unless it is a game I absolutely want or its some sort of special edition (like The Lost World for PS1). Unfortunately, I have a lot of them for PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 1 and would like to go after the black label versions of those. I especially hate the PlayStation 1 Greatest Hits Label as the color choice of Green and Red looks ugly on the cover and not to mention it hurts your eyes just looking at them.

I used to care, not really anymore. They say variety is the spice of life. As long as it's not an image of a small picture of the original cover. In most cases, I've become handy enough with Photoshop and printing that if I want an original cover for something bad enough, I can make one.
