Do you hate Greatest hits/Players choice games?

I don't hate them, but I usually go out of my way to buy the original instead because the majority of them look hideous. For instance, green (for the PS) is my favorite color. But, seeing that little slit of green on the game's spine and that upside down, green parabola on the front cover just annoys me. The same thing applies to the red coloring on the PS2/PS3 games.

There will always be exceptions, of course. My copy of Kirby Air Ride is the GH version, but it doesn't bother me because I barely notice it. Also, back in 2001 when they re-released Final Fantasy Tactics, the GH label didn't bother me at all because I was going to be able to finally play the damn game at a reduced price. I have the original version now, but back in the day I didn't care.

I do prefer first edition rather than GH/Platinum/Selects but I do not hate them, I do not care getting those if it is the only type I have seen through game hunting, for example here at mi country for some reason PS1 black label are much more difficult and expensive to get than Greatest Hits ones, I would not mind getting a GH Symphony of the Night ($40 US Dlls) than a black SoTN ($120 US Dlls), since I collect to play the games rather than just leaving them on a shelf looking good but collecting dust.

Ehhhhhhhhhhh. Cartridge games, I've never cared if it's PC or not. Disc systems, it kind of bothers me, so I try not to buy GH/PC unless it's a good deal. Like I had been wanting Twin Snakes and Mega Man Legends, but I passed on so many CIB copies because they were GH/PC.

But like I have a copy of Paper Mario GCN that is PC, but I'm not going to go out of my way to replace it with a black label copy unless it's from a thrift store or a yard sale or something.

Hate is a strong word, but I try to avoid them. I like to think that it is a display thing on the shelf. I don't like seeing the bright colors compared to the colors. However, I will admit that if I really look at myself, there is a bit of a hipster attitude in me regarding these labels. "I bought the game before it everyone else did." Final Fantasy 7? Yeah I was into that on day one!

jupiter:
I do not care at all.

This is probably because I'm a newer collector, but the stigma doesn't matter to me. I just want to play the games :D

Besides, if(?) the majority of collectors prefer black label, then the gh versions may be more rare in the long run. On top of that, some gh versions have bug fixes/patches/dlc (especially ps3 forward).

Although I do keep my black label/gh stuff separate on the shelf, it's only due to uniform color (now that's racist...)
