I bought about 6 games from a guy at work for $15 and 2 of them are Player's Choice. I was wondering is there any difference between the original disk/manual and the PC disk and manual?
I was just thinking about changing the inserts with original.

I know that sometimes with Players Choice, Nintendo would actually change game content.
For example, with Metroid Prime, in the original there was a jumping bug that allowed you to reach areas you were supposed to be able to and obtain items out of sequence, this was fixed in the PC version. This always pissed me off as I have the PC version
Same with the PlayStation Platinum releases. A few Platinum releases I know of have the code altered slightly for the Platinum rerelease. V Rally is one such game, which has extra content, and i'm sure the cheat codes for Rayman are different in the subsequent releases...
There's actually three build versions of MP. The latest of the three was used for the PC release, also for the combined MP/MP2 demo pack. And further still, the PAL version is different on top by adding a Samus voiceover and plot corrected Chozo lore (there are some holes in the original text).

The PAL equivilent to "Greatest Hits" (PlayStation and PS2) are classed as "Platinum". Instead of the green or red packaging (For PlayStation or PS2 respectively), we have silver and black coloured packaging. What you know as Xbox "Platinum Hits" is known as "Xbox Classics" over here in the UK. Nintendo "Player's Choice" games are the same, and usually (In the case of GameCube games) come in silver coloured packaging, similar to PlayStation / PS2 games.
In the days of the monochrome GameBoy, we also had Player's Choice titles, which came in red coloured packaging. As far as I know, only a handful of SNES titles were rereleased as Player's Choice over here, as with the GameBoy. I don't know of any GBC or GBA games that were rereleased as PC. N64 games that were rereleased as Player's Choice also came in silver coloured packaging, opposed to black.
The manuals are the same but sometimes the disc will be a different version.
Sounds like you PAL guys got the better packaging, we have to stare at ugly red/green/yellow labels. The few GBA games that were released as PC have the same yellow stripe as on GC games.
