Anybody seen the new PS3 Greatest Hits cases? ATROCIOUS!

[Fuzzball24]

Someone posted these on the IGN boards. I think they look horrible (they're not my pictures, lol).











What's your opinion on them, hmm? I'm not one to complain about Greatest Hits cases and all, but these look pretty bad...

I don't mind the red cases at all. Usually when I stack my games, I put all the greatest hits all to one side and it looks fine. clear (PS3) and red (GH) isn't so bad of a mix of color to me. I think a solid blue color would have made more sense though IMO.

I think the slim Blu-Ray cases would've been nice to use. :P

I don't mind that so much. To me, the Platinum Hits 360 cases are the worst. The GH DS cases are up there too.

It's an HD-DVD! HEYY wait a minute!! Sly Sony! Stealin' from corpses!

[MarioMania]

I hate the Red GH or the Yellow PC dosn't look good to me....

Do they have cheap Disk's to make the GH

[mnkysuit]

Eh, they could have been much better. I'm a little puzzled as to why they picked red though?

[TheDomesticInstitution]

Awesome, Ninja Gaiden Sigma is coming down in price!

[SegaAges]

They prolly picked red to help get rid of some HD-DVD cases, hahaha

[misfits859]

I don't mind the red...I kinda dig it.

I think this is the best greatest hits packaging I've seen. They changed the color of the case so it is very easy to tell apart and it doesn't take away much of the front with the "Greatest Hits" Label. This is even better than what Gamecube had!

My question is: The PS3 has Greatest Hits already?

[Kitsune Sniper]

That's not a bad design. It's not covering up a chunk of the cover art, like the PS2's Greatest Hits line did. And at least it's not that horrible puke green they used on the PS1.

I wish the case wasn't completely red, though, maybe make the top part red, kinda like Blu-Ray cases are (well, those are blue, but you know what I mean)?

[Princess-Isabela]

they look pretty good.
and people - hd dvd have purple cases, these are red ^_~

[walrusmonger]

Hd dvd isn't purple, it's transparent red. These are more solid, I really like these cases. If you don't like the cases, just buy the games sometime within a year of their release date, problem solved.

Yup, which means in about 3 years we'll finally start to see the Wii "Player's Choice" games available.

[Chuplayer]

They're not too bad.

[diskoboy]

I like 'em.

I like em alot more than the 360's, fluorescent, snot green, cases, and the Wii's sterile looking white cases, that look like they belong in a cleanroom.

[Frankie_Says_Relax]

Okay, here's my quandary with "greatest hits" titles.

People who hate them hate them ... and they usually hate all of the designs that they've rolled out with since the PS1 era.

... but once a game drops to greatest hits price point, you can usually find the used non-GH version at Gamestop used or on eBay (new most times) for LESS than the GH price...

SO ... just get that version, save a few bucks and don't sweat the cover/case variations.

Of course, in the case of a game like Virtua Fighter 4 or Midnight Club 3 on PS2 you won't get the extra modes/characters ...

[roushimsx]

I kind of like them. The red case sticks out, but my beef has always been more with how they slaughter the cover art with various GH/PC/PH rereleases. Platinum Hits are by far the worst, but I've never been too terribly crazy about the large red chunks on the GH or the clashing yellow thingies on the PCs. That nice, slim, attractive red banner on the top looks pretty good and the red case is actually kind of neat.

But really, fuck all that noise. Ninja Gaiden Sigma on the cheap! Resistance on the cheap! Time to load up! Woo!
