They look horrible. Absolutely horrible. I like to make my games display look as neat and orderly as possible, and when you've got a wall of plain white/black text PS2 boxes then suddenly in the middle of it sticks out this horrible-looking black and grey thing it's infuriating. It really sticks out. I've replaced nearly all my Platinum PS2 games, I've only got one left to replace and I keep that one as far away from the others as possible. Same with my PS1 games, I have to keep all my Platinums at the bottom of my PS1 shelves. I shouldn't have to do that. Making these gaudy-ass cases serves absolutely no purpose. Then with Xbox, Xbox 360 and PS3 they replace the nice artwork on the spine with that horrible green thing with white text or silver and yellow or whatever it is they do... WHY?! Then I order a game off Ebay and they show the picture as the standard game and what you get in the post is a Platinum or Classics... or I specifically pick out a black label box in Game and when I take it to the counter they give me a Platinum one so they can put the black label one back on the shelf... goddamn it I could go on all day. Yeah, I do. I hate them with every fiber of my being. >:( --- End quote --- I think that's a difference between UK and US. Our spine art varies from game to game pretty radically, but we always have that PS logo at the top of the spine. I don't mind it because at least SOME THING is the same across the board. --- End quote --- That's not the point your not seeing the picture. The us greatest hit cases look kinda decent even from the sides, the european ones are just grey and black really ugly and totally different while the US one looks decent. european platinum http://img.2dehands.be/f/normal/203762322-kingdom-hearts-platinum-playstation-2.jpg grey black version http://www.okazvente.fr/2265-thickbox_default/kingdom-hearts-platinum-ps2.jpg USA greatest hits http://thumbs2.picclick.com/d/l400/pict/391521082209_/Kingdom-Hearts-Greatest-Hits-Sony-PlayStation-2-2003.jpg The european platinums are really ugly large borders and ugly sides, the only difference for the USA version is the red border otherwise pretty decent looking. --- End quote --- HAI!!! It doesn't matter what the point was. I was just commenting on the difference. Share a picture of the platinum spine. I, personally, don't care about what the GH/PC does to the cover art, I care about the spine art. |

Ps logo lines etc all in the same spot for the spines. http://thumbs2.picclick.com/d/l400/pict/311681626657_/KINGDOM-HEARTS-platinum-ps2.jpg https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ9Y9atoeu6cIeqN3FX263kDPLa97pRKysgHVGQbV4Nph5duoG51Q |

But they don't add content or anything. --- End quote --- The GH version of Silent Hill 2 on PS2 adds the extra content from the Xbox release. There may be others like this, but this is the only one I'm aware of at this point in time. |

If bad uniformity bothers people so much, do the big box collector's editions bother you guys, too? |
