I care a little if it's on PS3. I'm not a fan of the red box.

I care a little. Just from an image point of view, the words Greatest Hits take away from the cover art but it's not a big deal.

I'm more interested if the disc and to a lesser degree the manual are in good shape.

Not really. I never had a Greatest Hits case until I rebought GTAIV. I had bought a used copy a couple years ago and always regretted it so I bought it for like $10 new. It has the red case which is kinda weird but it doesn't really bug me.

Yes, simply for the fact that it comes in a red box. I have no problem with the GH branding on the game or cover, but those red cases are hideous. If they came in a clear case like everything else I wouldn't care one bit.

Yes, I do. I think it's ridiculous, unattractive,and never liked the idea. All that needs to be done isput a "Greatest Hits" sticker on the packaging (beneath the plastic wrap if need be).

I don't really care, but I do like it when I buy a GH version of a game and it has all the DLC already in it.

Yes I don't like the red cases and will avoid them if at all possible.

At least they could have made them a see through red like the old HD-DVD cases.

You could put my games in a solid hot pink case if you wanted to, I could care less.

Actually, I might like a hot pink case...

Yes, I care. It's ugly as hell. It's almost like Sony wants people to stop buying the games. I have I think 4 greatest hits games in my collection, I hope that number won't increase.

I feel the exact same way. I only have 2 games in my collection that have that dumb red case.

In Europe they are called Platinum Editions, and boy do they are ugly.The Greatest Hits are much more cooler than the european counterparts.

This is my biggest problem with them, you just get a couple cases that stick out from the rest. I guess I'm just OCD about it but it bothers me a little.

Yah I'm a bit of a baby about that, I really don't like the red cases I think they look bad, not a fan of colored cases in general though, even the green xbox ones I'm not the biggest fan of. HOnestly just prefer the standard clear ps3 case

I couldn't care less, just look at the original xbox, their greatest hits boxes were silver and there was no problem there. As long as the game's there that's all I care about, plus sometimes greatest hits versions have some bonus content, so it works out for the better.

Nope, i just got 8 GH titles in the last few weeks. Strangely it bothers me if it's a platinum edition (european GH). The silver cases just look so hideous.

As someone who out of hundreds and hundreds of games doesn't own a single greatest hit, players choice, or platinum hit version of any game, yes i care, I'm OCD about my collection, having a few red or discolored cases on my shelves full of normal cases would drive me crazy, plus i just hate how cheap they look. If i like a game i'll buy it day one, i probably buy a new game every two weeks, and used ones at least once a week (older ones that are impossible to find new or "collector" games) and end up with maybe only 3 or 4 games a year that i didn't care for..

Don't care. If I can get it for a lot less money just because the box is a different color, that's perfectly fine with me.

For the Playstation 3 yes I do mind. I just hate the Red jewel case that Greatest hits games come in. I shouldn't care. Since it is only a case. I hate that I hate the Red greatest hits jewel cases.

I try not the buy games for PS3 that are greatest hits. But for the other 7th generation consoles I don't mind the greatest hits versions. But PS3 has to worst looking Greatest hits cases.

I should not care.

Nope I don't mind at all. I purposely wait for some games to go down in price. I only have 1 red box though and its inFamous.

Yes, it bothers me. I find the red cases ugly, and it bothers me that they stick out from the rest of my games. I'm still having trouble adjusting with the old and new PS3 game covers.

I live in Europe and have 1 Greatest Hits, 6 Platinum games, so I don't really care but I would prefer to have the original.
