Rereleases - PlayStation 2 the Best

What sets these rereleases differently from the original outside of its uglier cover due to the addition of "borders"? I'm thinking about getting Zero, but I noticed there's a 3,990 yen difference between the two with the original at 7,140 and the "PlayStation 2 the Best" at 3,150.

Does the rerelease only hold the DVD with no manuals or something? Assuming the two are the same (minus the crappier cover as stated), would you buy the rerelease or go for a second-hand copy of the original? Discuss.

I apologize for making a Q&A kind of thread, I hope I've made it open enough so that some discussion can actually be had after my question has been answered.

How ya doing, buddy?

Hahaha. Well, to be quite honest, I only recently purchased a PlayStation 2 (for the sole purpose of playing Xenosaga Episode III after having to play Episodes I and II on my cousin's PS2), so I have had little exposure to the PS2's section in stores.

Then again, that is probably quite a difference in money so look around for the original at that low price.

Yeah, my brother couldn't find it while he was in Hong Kong. This is why I'm thinking about ordering it through Amazon.

I'm not sure if in PC games (perhaps of titles long, long ago), repackaged bundles could have manuals left out, but that is a different case as there usually is a manual on the CD anyway.

Yeah, I've had experiences with the ol' "manual in CD" for PC games.

Quote:

I can't imagine for console games that they would leave the manual out.

I hope not...

Quote:

I'm sure the manual cover opts for those ugly borders too.

But then if they did this, maybe I'd rather not have the manual.

How ya doing, buddy?

It just looks better amidst my collection of games.

Green border, so what? Great game, loads of fun to play, and I don't even know where the case is right now. Disc is in a binder with the rest of my PSX games.

I guess this doesn't apply for you since you keep your games in a binder.

No, I don't own a PlayStation either, just an N64. Back when I gamed more, I was primarily a PC gamer.

How ya doing, buddy?
