The video has a lot of views and all the comments are basically people saying, "oh wow I had no idea." The information isn't necessarily important and certainly not harmful, but as an avid PS2 collector, I don't like seeing misinformation be spread.

I decided to look through my own collection and see if there was any validity to John's declaration (which he stated as fact), and these are the games that I checked, since I own both Black Label and Greatest Hits versions of them.

*Ace Combat 4

*Bully

*Crash Nitro Kart

*Crazy Taxi

*Devil May Cry

*Devil May Cry 2

*Devil May Cry 3

*Final Fantasy X

*Final Fantasy X-2

*Final Fantasy XII

*Gran Turismo 3

*Grand Theft Auto III

*Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

*Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

*Metal Gear Solid 2

*Namco Museum (GH is the matching version; not 50th Anniversary)

*Need for Speed: Carbon

*Resident Evil: Code Veronica - X

*Resident Evil: Outbreak

*Resident Evil 4

*Shadow of the Colossus

*Shadow the Hedgehog

*Silent Hill 2

*Smuggler's Run

*Star Wars: Battlefront

*Star Wars: Battlefront II

*Test Drive

*Thrillville

Out of all of these, the only one that had a color manual in the Black Label version and a colorless label in the Greatest Hits version was Final Fantasy X. So, given that the example that John used in his video was Kingdom Hearts, maybe it's a Squaresoft thing? But even if it is, that isn't necessarily something they always or even mostly do, as this was neither the case for FFX-2 nor FFXII.

Some games have colorless manuals in both BL and GH versions, like all three of the DMC games (exterior of the manual is color) and NFS: Carbon (exterior of the manual is colorless), while most other games have color manuals in both versions.

Again, this information is dumb and unimportant, but I just get annoyed when someone creates false facts and then everyone believes it and gives them a lot of clout for it. Especially considering how near and dear the PS2 library is to me; it's the only console that I collect for.

I'll put the link to the video in a comment, since this sub doesn't allow YT links.
