Do you not like getting the greatest hits version of games or does it not bother you?
Do you like the Greatest Hits version of games?
I actually kind of prefer the platinum hits on the newer 360 releases.

With the silver packaging and the small green bar running across the top. Something about the silver cases is appealing. I have quite a few of them, kind of want to collect them as long as i can trade in or sell my original versions for as much or more, which has been the case so far.
I have a number of Xbox Classics games and it really annoys me that the box art is so overshadowed by a big ugly grey outline.
"Exactly. It almost makes me want to wait until they release an all in one disk. I bought Fallout 3 when it came out and haven't gotten any of the DLC. Now that the all in one is out, i really want to go back and try out the stuff I missed.I like them when they include all the DLC or new content on the disc, I guess those are more game of the year additions. I think Paradise GOTY had some of the newer content on disc. Box art doesnt bother me to much though I never look at the cases when they are on the shelf.
"
For me Im still rocking the original 20gig 360 (though not an original 360 its my 5th :P) and all that DLC takes a shit ton of memory so I like it when its on disc and no install. IThe lack of memory on my 360 is actually a factor for me now buying games if there isnt really a difference between PS3 and 360 versions and I think I might want DLC I usually buy for PS3 now since I have 160 gigs to use up.
I prefer the original box but I dont really care either way. Really I just want a consistent looking shelf but both Ps3 and Xbox 360 games now have new designs that make them different so that is no longer a reality. So if I get a box with a different case it doesn't matter as a long as I get the game, but if I have the choice I would take the normal.
They are usually cheaper and/or have more content so fuck yeah I like them. I don't care about the boxes.
If I'm interested in a game, but not interested in it enough to pay more than Greatest Hits price I'll pick it up while they're marked down and the stores are getting rid of the inventory. PS games are great because for the most part they just put a red Greatest Hits sticker over all the black in the packaging.
I display most of my games so the change in color really sticks out to me.
