Title: PLAYERS CHOICE VS. PLATINUM HITS
Post by: THE ONE on June 14, 2003, 05:04:22 AM
First off i haven't posted in quite a while so here goes (hopefuly) a new topic. i've read in about 2 or 3 different articles that nintendo isn't doing such a good move by making theirs players choice $10 more than sony and m$ greatest hits and platinums hit games. but if you think about it nintendos games are better ex: ssm: melee, pikmin, ect..... you don't see m$ selling halo (probably their best game) for $20, or sony selling gta: vice cityfor $20,where nintendo sells most of thier best games for $30. so big deal about 10 bucks.if m$ also thinks that nintendo is doing wrong then f*** them. when they start selling their bad ass games(halo) for 20 bucks , like nintendo sells their badass games for$30 then you know nintedno is doing something bad.
and talk about exclusivity gamesaren't exclusive if their coming out for pc are they? ex: halo !!
sorry for not writing for so long.

In Australia the players choice titles are reduced in price but they dont have players choice written on them anywhere. Does it say Players Choice on the box of GC games there? Are the games in special players choice packaging or something? just wondering...

Yeah they are only now having the stores put stickers on the games to ID them as Player's Choice. So it should be soon they come out with boxes with different art.

Actually the box art is 99% the same.
The only difference is the top (there's a inch or so border with "Player's Choice". The border is yellow.
In the UK at least (maybe all of europe) there's a special logon instead of the stripe (they replaced the Nintendo Gamcube logo on top of the gameboxes with a custom one that states Nintendo gamecube Player's Choice in goldish text. It also replaces the orginal disc with one that has sparkes or something.

Here in Canada, all reduced price games (PS2, XBOX and GCN) are the same.

From what I've seen, they change nothing for the Australian Player's Choice range (Wow... THREE games -_-) I quite like Sony's packaging of their Platinum games, they look funky, although they screw the disc up BAD by removing all artwork and just having it metallic looking...
As for Xbox's Greatest Hits... Ugh. Big stinky lime green borders look disgusting.

I agree, the metallic looking doesn't look nice. My friend has the GT3 platinum.

the whole players choice is just a gimmick anyway, which started with the old sega megadrive gold collection (sonic1/ecco the dolphin ect.).
The thing is that sonys collection has 3rd party games in it, while nintendo sticks with 1st and 2nd party the Sony colection has 20+ odd games, compared with 5-6 in american and 3 in PAL Sony clearly wins thu games like melee, luigis mansion are clearly worth more then the cheap price
