Help! Should i buy platinum or black label FF7?

[tiger86]

heya, i'm planning on buying ff7, i already have it but its not in the best condition and i need to buy a new one, i want to get the rarest kind, would that be black label or platinum? I won't be playing it and am hoping whichever i get will go up in value over the years, please help! almost forgot, i can't afford the sealed ones though :-(

I hear the black label plays a lot better than the platinum version.

Square produced many copies of both. You can can get either, but the original is in higher demand because so many think its really "ultra rare".
If I were you, I would just get the cheaper one or the version you think looks better.

If you're looking for 'teh phat pricez', I suggest you go with a black-label copy with the misprint of the word "masterpiece" on the back of the case. It's the one that fetches the highest auction price.

Though, really, it's such a small and silly misprint that I wouldn't pay much extra for it, if at all.

Did they make a platinum version of FF7?

I think he means "Greatest Hits" and is getting it mixed up with the Microsoft "Platinum Hits." Or, at least, that was my assumption.

yeah i have the platinum version but unfortunately i've lost it and my ones also not in the best condtion so i'm gonna bu a new one, tempted to buy the black label one because it seems rarer but i wouldn't mind platinum cos you get the demo in it.
