I do like the prices of the games, but I prefer the green DVD cases. Then again, I doesn't really matter what the color of the case is, but I just thought I would mention it.

Green (Neon) DVD cases = Kewl
Platinum (Silver) DVD Cases = Not as Kewl...lol!

As a collector I personally prefer da original cases myself, as you do too.
I pretty much own all da games on da Platinum List dat I wanted back in da dayz.
Though if there is a title I wanted dat I never bought and it was in a Platinum DVD case I would pass on it just cause it would make my collection look odd with it's color differentual.

This is just me though.:)

lol, I am weird about those things too Ninja, I'd probably just switch the silver case and buy a couple green cases to put in place of them.

Peep dis out Shrewy. When the now defunct company "Bleem" were able to create booster disc's for Dreamcast to play certain PSOne titles they finally did MGS. So I was trying my hardest to find an original copy with da "black" case and had no success.
So I eventually just settled for da "Greatest Hits" GREEN jewel case.
Well I ran into my cousin and he has dis friend to owns da original case and did not want da game anymore.
So I tell him I just want his case and he was like "I want 20 beans for it". I said you must be smokin crack foo!!
So dude is a 2K fan right. So we make a bet, if I beat him in NBA2K2 (dis was back in 2001) I would get it for $2.00 and if he wins I would pay him what he wants.
Well I win and (Magic crushed his Bucks, he quit in da 3rd quarter :D ) I got his case. I threw his jewel case away and used da black MGS insert cover and put it in my new case for da "greatest hits version".
Dats how crazy I am! :)


note: I never owned a PSone, but I did my MGS for bleemcast, and Final Fantasy 7 & 8 in hopes they would make a booster disc for Sega Dreamcast as well.
Unforunatley Sony sued dem out of business. :(

I can't stand the green cases, I have bought some black DVD cases, and swapped with the green ones. So I have about 7 empty green cases. I personally like the Platinum cases, oh yeah the price too.

I am a collector too and I prefer the cases to be all green. The Platinum ones are okay, but not as good, somehow. But they are just cases.

Green = Xbox's flagship color.
Platinum = Platinum hits flagship color

There is a reason why they make things colored the way they do. I like the colors and wouldn't really care if they were any other color, as long as it made sense to make it a certain color.

They're just cases to me. Call me wierd, but, I just like playing the discs that come inside them.

I care about the cases to the same level as I care about the size of my XBox.

You mean DVD holder? Or were you referring to a holder that only holds the disc without the cases? Because the XBox cases are the size of DVD cases ;)

its not the case thats a different color. its the cover. you can just slip it out, and its the same exact case you always get. i think

You guys are lucky to have the prices you do. I'm sure some of those Platinum Hits games are still at $69.99 CDN. So the case wouldn't matter to me if I was lucky enough to get the games as cheap as they are in the States.

OK but I'll need a sponsor and a job. To drive down for a few games is expensive. I'm about 3 hours away from Grand Forks N.D. Complianing is much cheaper.;)
