In the case of Part of Set/NFR games they are included on the variant list as well as the "Multi-Game Sets list". Variants refer to any version of the game besides the normal Black Label release (see above). On the Greatest Hits page I will work on listing any "Sticker" Greatest Hits Games that have been found, but if they have no official GH release we do not count them towards the total number of GH games released. The thought is that some retailers may have placed those GH stickers on games that were not set to get an official GH release, mainly to be able to mark those games at GH prices and sell them cheaper. Then there are some games where there only seem to be a few sticker GH versions found, no official release. As a result there are certain game that have both official and sticker GH versions. From my understanding (Supernintener can probably help me clear this up), at some point when a game was set to be released as a GH title, Sony sent out Greatest Hits stickers to place at the top on the backstock of black label titles to help them sell that inventory before they received their shipment of the GH version of those titles. Greatest Hits games can be found in 2 versions, Official released GH games and "Sticker" GH games. To keep things simple, however, we consider any game without a callout on the front as the "black label" version, and any version that has an added callout on the front for something included with the game as the "black label variant". Therefore the "plain" art without the callout on front is actually the variant to the original "movie ticket" version When that movie left theaters they reprinted the art without that "movie ticket" callout on front and removed the ticket. What I consider "Black Label" may not be the true "first release" - For instance, any game that came with a movie ticket (having a callout on the front art for that ticket) may in fact be the first release, as they probably came out right before or while that movie was still in theaters. Things to Keep in Mind - (This is a work in progress!) dot Hack games and the Disney Games later. I have been collecting photos of everything on this list, but that doesn't mean something I've found isn't fake.Īlso, we can argue about the placement in the list of the. PLEASE, if you see anything you think is incorrect, let me know so I can look into it. I will try to keep it updated and edit it to reflect the change and the date changes were made. I've been working with a few people over the years.MurdockEx, Supernintender, and a few other people (chime in below if you're here!) to try to compile this list, and I'm still finding variants, so this list is fluid. I've been working on this list for a few years now, flushing out variants and oddities along with the standard "black label" and Greatest Hits sets. Noticed a lack of PS2 info here (and on the internet in general) and thought this might be a good place to collaborate with other PS2 collectors to finally compile a definite PS2 list.
