      New Zealand and Australia mostly get the same changes that Europe does, like instead of Greatest Hits for the PS1 we get Platinum, which is silver instead of an obnoxiously bright green. I actually like this change.

  • @W34T13Y
    @W34T13Y 3 года назад +124

    Fun fact: in New Zealand, if a console is reaching the middle or end of its life, stores will usually face the bulk of its games with the spine facing out to maximise shelf space. Only killer app games or a single 'stack' of a big name game will be displayed front-facing. Therefore, for the Player's Choice games, an altered spine would *indeed* be a selling point, as games stores were not a Thing here until the last few years, and shelf space in video shops and warehouse-style shops is always at a premium.
    This was especially useful for the DS, where our PAL region casings meant you could only stack two or three games front-facing compared to four or five spine-facing.

Anything in American style casings was usually imported ahead of its regional release date (often years later), and mostly showed up as pre-owned games of dubious reliability or outright bootlegs or cracks of popular games.

Or even change the size of the books, so that there are sudden height changes on the shelf! I have literally stopped buying some series because they've suddenly changed the cover art - and now, I utterly REFUSE to buy physical copies of any books until the ENTIRE series is out and I can get them all at once in the same style.

    • @nisus8
      @nisus8 6 лет назад +17

      Agreed -- the GameCube "Player's Choice" games are actually the less-egregious out of any of these, and I rather quite like that gold, "PLAYER'S CHOICE" ribbon across the very top of the case. As well, the overall label real-estate taken up by the golden spine-logo is far, *far* less barfulous than, say, the absolutely horrid-looking grey/silver Xbox 360 Platinum repackagings, for example.

Thanks for the 2 (wow) years of entertainment, Scott, and here's to many more! ...and also thanks for bringing my OCD self to the attention of tacky looking "bestseller" re-releases of games that subsequently caused me to invalidate all of the games I owned in my collection under those labels because they looked different from the others.

    Scott is so underrated. I know lots of people say this, but the RUclips algorithm is seriously screwed up. Why isn’t this in every gamers recommendations?

      I think most gamers would actually like to have a shelves full of games that look good, not with a crazy title that make everything looks bad

    As someone that was an older teenager that had some money, but not a lot of money, during this Era of gaming, the Yellow/burgundy tag did definitely make you look. It often let you know a big game was cheap. Not always, as some terrible games got on the "must have" lists, but overall, it made you notice.

    I think the entire concept of greatest hits, platinum hits, player's choice, etc. Cases are so awesome. I don't share your opinions but that's okay because the video is awesome and I like seeing them all.

      ThePatShow ! , sure but I think it should be the players choice not the company trying to sell more copies of the game because they're desperate.
