THESE CASES ARE SO UGLY!!! They are just plain red and look really weird. They are not clear red either. It is a solid red. The game is Ninja Gaiden Sigma. I decided to buy it because it was Greatest hits now and I got the new red cases. Really sticks out in my collection. If i had a camera I would take pics but I dont so go to you GameStop and look at them. Thats where I got mine.

You'd think Sony would try and make the Greatest Hits cases look better, and thus more enticing to potential buyers instead of making them into further eyesores.

Oh well.

Maybe this is their way of punishing people for not buying the game earlier. :P

Sadly that'll change. :(

Sounds similar to what they did with PS2 games when they got recently turned into Greatest Hits.

They'd just put a label in the wrapping for the copies that were already printed.

I bought the UK equivelant to a 'Greatest Hits' game. They're called 'Platinum' and come in a horrible opaque grey colour. The original cases are so much better.

Actually no... like I said, I didnt look at the game till I got home. I threw it in the backseat of the car and when I got home I saw it was red. It wasnt red on the shelf where all the other games are. Only Resistance and Motorstorm are but they only had the sticker.

Well a sticker would be more efficient to use rather than wasting all those cases they already produced.. maybe we will see these phased out.

Bleh, I don't really care if it's red. The majority of the case is the printed artwork and you've got 1cm of case showing on each end. My god it's the end of the world! lol

I still think they are better than the green boxes for xbox titles. For Sony to say hey here's some games that are pretty cool and drop the price instead of just letting retailers drop the price is pretty cool to me, so what if the box is red. $30 for some pretty solid titles is almost a steal.

While I can understand the against opinion on the red case, I also bought Ninja Gaiden Sigma and think the red case looks just fine. It could be way worse, we could have the Konami bestseller case like Castlevania DoS and that is gross. All it is is the same cover shrunk and on a white sketchboard border. If it came down to red or Konami's Best red is amazing.

That's what I've been thinking. For the life of me I cannot figure out why they didn't go with blue instead of red. That'd just go along with the PS3 theme even more than the current cases do.

I am not complaining? I am just saying that the cases are red and that they are ugly as SH!T. I just hate them because it just looks weird in my collection. You dont see me rushing back to the store to return. I am keeping it, I just wanted to tell people that they are very ugly.

To be quie honest, I love the case. it does stand out but the design isn't so bad. At least nothing is really obstructing the actual cover design this time around.

The one thing I would prefer though would be to have the case clear red instead of solid.

Oh well.

AnFangs_Endes

From what I've seen, here in Canada, the GH cases are still white/clear and they just add the red band at the top of the cover image. The cases themselves aren't red. At least no that i've noticed.

What Sony should have done is just tie it in with their BR and makes the cases Blue. I don't know why they went red considering red was the GH colour for PS2. PS1 was green. Why not come up with a new colour for PS3. Blue seems like a logical choice to me.

I was in Best Buy yesterday and it looked like NGS was the only game with a red case. They had Resistance in the GH packaging, but the case was clear. So maybe it's only some of the games. Regardless, you can probably find clear cases somewhere... and if not, just buy a clearance game and then sell it in the red case or something. You can find 07 sports games for like $5 if you care that much.
