I will second the non-issue of the GCN logo being on the bottom of the spine.  I think it works quite well actually.

Now the Saturn logo is another story. Stupid thing takes up 3/5 of the damned spine.

Thank you, wiggy. At least someone agrees with me! ;D

Pumanchero, you read my reply wrong. I'm all for those types of distinguishing labels. I actually have quite a few Player's Choice and Greatest Hits games and I would upload them if them if I could. Though I do agree, that they should have used red for each platform; it would of looked better in my opinion, instead of lime green for PS1, and red for PS2, PSP, PS3, but there's nothing any of us can do about that now. What's done is done.

Stupid? You got problems, man. Gamecube games are unique for doing what they did, because it distinguishes them from their competitors. Like how Nintendo Selects (Wii), Greatest Hits (PS1, PS2, PSP, and PS3), and Player's Choice (GBA, and Gamecube) distinguish them from the rest of their games that don't have those labels.
I'll give you that point: the way GH game covers look for Sony's platforms is terrible. Green stripes? Red Stripes? that's a no-no in my book.
You have to admit it is not as bad as Xbox. not only the spine banner is a different color, but it is also longer than all of the other games, and the case is a silver instead of green. I saw a case in Game stop that did not have the game's logo on the spine.

Yeah, the Xbox platinum hits are effin' annoying.

The only one that bothers me more are the stupid PS1 G/H titles. Only had two. I say had because those two no longer have green spines ;)

I don't really care how the layout is, unless it's REALLY screwed up, but care more on the artwork. And with that, the Assassin's Creed III art is awesome!

  • I have no label. Maybe I'm not a gamer at all?

I'm glad that they didn't go the stupid GameCube route and pull a fast one by putting the system on the bottom of the spine.  That makes it look so dumb compared to like EVERY OTHER GAME.

PAL GameCube games have the label at the top,  which makes it even more annoying when you only have a handful of NTSC games in your PAL collection.  Must get around to fixing that.

I like the way these WiiU cases look, especially if the cases are going to be pale blue.
