[@W34T13Y]

Fun fact: in New Zealand, if a console is reaching the middle or end of its life, stores will usually face the bulk of its games with the spine facing out to maximise shelf space. Only killer app games or a single 'stack' of a big name game will be displayed front-facing. Therefore, for the Player's Choice games, an altered spine would *indeed* be a selling point, as games stores were not a Thing here until the last few years, and shelf space in video shops and warehouse-style shops is always at a premium. This was especially useful for the DS, where our PAL region casings meant you could only stack two or three games front-facing compared to four or five spine-facing.

[@YasEmisDaBus]

Didn't we get games in the American case in ANZ?

[@W34T13Y]

@@YasEmisDaBus It might have varied by country or time, but my experience in regional NZ we were classed as either PAL or Asia. Anything in American style casings was usually imported ahead of its regional release date (often years later), and mostly showed up as pre-owned games of dubious reliability or outright bootlegs or cracks of popular games.

Tselel Exactly. I prefer the players choice's Gamecube games, they're nice and contrast with the other in a cool way

[@nisus8]

Agreed -- the GameCube "Player's Choice" games are actually the less-egregious out of any of these, and I rather quite like that gold, "PLAYER'S CHOICE" ribbon across the very top of the case. As well, the overall label real-estate taken up by the golden spine-logo is far, *far* less barfulous than, say, the absolutely horrid-looking grey/silver Xbox 360 Platinum repackagings, for example.

[@GabrielMoreiraHylian]

Exactly! I actually prefer the players choice's Gamecube games, they're nice (apart from some horror games). Now the Wii's white sucks balls, the same for PlayStation's greatest hits. This guy has got some serious OCD

[@nothanksfools]

Same here

Why did you make a 12 minute video about game spines? Wait... Why did I watch a 12 minute video about game spines

[@Koisheep]

Because it's THE PLAYER'S CHOICE! *Scott's theme*

[@tehshingen]

I too spent 12 minutes waiting for a real point to all of this, and it was like waiting for Godot.

Because logic.

[@Just10Percent]

I'm glad someone shares my need for consistency in game boxes.

[@ErickHatesBMC]

time for my weekly rewatch of this video

[@user-wk9cd9ey2z]

I've been following for a while but had not seen this, and I agree so damn much. I recently went to my parents' house where I have most of my (old) stuff, and I was excited about bringing back my Lego Star Wars Gamecube copy to my house to play it on my Wii and when I got there I realized it's player's choice and didn't have to think twice to leave it right where it is, gotta find myself a good copy. Right now I have a small collection, reaaally small collection compared to yours, but I'm really glad no game in my collection is a player's choice or anything like that

[@harrybrown1513]

dude ....thats just sad. Not playing a game because of how the box looks

[@user-wk9cd9ey2z]

@@harrybrown1513 that's not the case lol I love the game, played it lots of times. I never said I wouldn't play it because of the box. I just want the regular box for collection purposes. I have a backup of the game to play via USB on my homebrew'd Wii

[@FrostyMac]

What I do is I separate the different variations first, and then organize them in alphabetical order separately, that way it’s alphabetical, but all the Players Choices are together, all the Grey-White gradient Platinum Hits are together and separate from the full-spine Platinum Hits which are also all together.

[@emilioarce4621]

yes. Finally someone intelligent

[@goodjobeli]

yeah I was wondering why he didn't so that

[@daltonweathersby1320]

300 IQ move

[@southpaw117]

I even do that with the PS3 regular versions, separating the old design from the new. I was contemplating doing that with the original Xbox games, sorting the Live Enabled games from the non, but I feel that would be too much of a stretch.

[@ctmc]

My parents bought Player's Choice games for me when I was younger because they figured "well if other people like it, it must be a good game and it's much cheaper too." That's how I got to play Wind Waker, Paper Mario TTYD, Pikmin, Kirby Air Ride, and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle which I thought were all excellent games.

[@michaelduprey5814]

This is the first video I saw from Scott and what a video

[@DavyDaveDavid]

Ever since I first saw this video I've made it my mission that whenever I buy something to rebuild my retro games collection, I ensure that it's the greatest hits, platinum hits, players choice/nintendo select edition of a game (if available) just out of spite. That and to make mine look different than other collections.

[@southpaw117]

Thinking about it, a collection solely of these rereleases would actually look pretty awesome considering the uniformity, and it would be cheaper to grow! I wouldn't look down on such a collection at all.

[@DavyDaveDavid]

@@southpaw117 yeah, well, not all the games I like are greatest hits and I'm not buying anything I got no interest in.

[@Zanyninja1]

Fun fact you can actually go on the computer and change the spine back to normal and keep the player’s choice header up front That way it can’t spread into the spine

[@Venom3254]

I'm I the only one that doesn't care as long as I get the game that I've always wanted for a cheap price.

[@Dampergerm]

SymbioteNx379 no I did that with Smash Bros. Melee and Super Mario Sunshine

[@agentkoaler5688]

SymbioteNx379 does the color of Video game box even matter? No.

[@cliffturbo2146]

SymbioteNx379 I got Yooka-Laylee for 17 dollars. Decent price.

[@ThatsPety]

Well it's because he's a hardcore collector. That's the perspective he's coming from here

[@peanutfish94]

That was me growing up, I didn't care for how the box looked with all of that extra jank on it, all I cared was: A) Can I get this game at a cheaper price? B) That it works

[@mosaabs1456]

Now i can sleep knowing I spent 12 minutes of my life watching a guy complaining about color

[@snorchill3170]

1:35 He owns 3D Dot Game Heroes the game that has his outro song neat

[@Lucstar07]

Here in Australia the Switch case logos are in the centre of the spine, and the font isn't all in uppercase letters. Because of that the Super Bomberman R logo isn't that horrible when put next to other games, because it's in the same position though it still has the weird font.

[@DizzyDenver]

[@Dethneko]

As far as the Game Cube goes, black and yellow goes together pretty well, IMO, so as long as you have a decent spread it shouldn't look too bad. Get too many clustered together and each cluster too far apart it might start to look a bit garish, and, yeah, if you only have a handful then it's an atrotious eye sore.

[@TheRevanchist9000]

I have a friend who hated his cover art having those on them so bad that he literally went to gamestop to trade in his copy of Ni No Kuni for another copy of Ni No Kuni without the greatest hits case. The cashier was utterly baffled.

[@GodOfWarConnoisseur]

I think the entire concept of greatest hits, platinum hits, player's choice, etc. Cases are so awesome. I don't share your opinions but that's okay because the video is awesome and I like seeing them all.

[@sleepyleperchaun]

As someone that was an older teenager that had some money, but not a lot of money, during this Era of gaming, the Yellow/burgundy tag did definitely make you look. It often let you know a big game was cheap. Not always, as some terrible games got on the "must have" lists, but overall, it made you notice.
