| Do You Buy Something Just Because It's Rare Or Fun Factor? |

Just because you don't like the color of a cover, or the fact that something is a second printing, doesn't make it inferior... Its the same exact game. By all means you can collect how ever you want, I just don't think there is any reason to knock these variants. |

For the record I don't not pick up greatest hits and whatnot I just upgrade it when I find a non greatest hits copy. Also there are people who specifically seek out variants subsets. And second prints usually don't go for as much money but they are not worthless. Often times greatest hits are less common than the non greatest hits titles and some even go for more money like the player's choice Mario World for example. |

Many people appreciate the lower costs and the same or in very rare cases less glicthed gameplay. Simple fact is compared to the original release the cover art has an ugly boarder instead of the full cover art or more neutral coloured black border fitting the box a bit nicer Nobody is knocking these variants but if people had a choice they'd rather have a first edition full cover art or black lable variant wich also looks a bit better on the shelves. Some people go as far as not including an platinum greatest hit release in their collection period wich seems logical since otherwise you would need to spend money twice before getting a black label one or buy a greatest hits as a placeholder before selling it off for a black lable or full cover art first edition. The only reason why people prefer a black label full cover first edition version is because the box just looks slightly and sometimes a whole lot better. Besides the people wanting them games only for gameplay are usually the ones appreciating platinum releases since they are cheaper to get it's mostly collectors hence the importance of a better looking box that would rather not have a platinum greatest hits release. Personally I will say that greatest hits or platinum variant are pretty bad looking in comparison but gameplay wise they are the same |

And more often then not Greatest Hits releases will fix glitches or even add new content. Silent Hill 2 is more expensive/sought after as a GH release than black label, for example. |
