    Default Silent Hill variant

    What is known about the Silent Hill PSOne variants? I have looked on ebay for the shiny version, but I can not find any that are specifically listed as such. Also, a quick Google search shows nothing. Even the Silent Hill wiki does not acknowledge the variants.



    Let's hear about it DP.

    Or...you could just ask the person who took the photo.

    Silent Hill's shiny manual version was more than likely the first shipment - the regular version the second printing. Star Ocean has the same catch - first print run CDs had shiny to them, 2nd printing were normal.

    SH's GH also has a variant that has a SLUS of SLUS-xxxxx GHA, rather than just GH.

    What exactly do you mean by "shiny" version? Does the variation have a reflective, foil-like cover or just an extra glossy finish to it? I'll keep an eye out for it when I make the rounds this week.

    It's not quite glossy, and not quite foil - like, if you took a grey crayon and a silver crayon and compared them on paper. the 'shiny' has a sheen to it.

    I'd heard of Silent Hill but not Star Ocean, and I didn't see a page for that up already on Game-Rave. Off topic a bit, but do you have any pictures of the Star Ocean one you mentioned?

    Ah nuts - was going to link to the hidden long ago variant page, but i took it down. Thankfully saved it. Here's star ocean:

    Very cool, thanks for the info. Now to check which version I've got!

    Is there any difference on the inserts or just the discs?

    Just the discs I think 0- I would have scanned the cases if there was anything.

    I'm not sure what you mean by this. Could you clarify this some more?

    1. Greatest Hit Releases at first had the same SLUS / SCUS designation (example: SLUS-12345)
    2. Somewhere along the line, they started adding GH to them (so it become SLUS-12345 GH)
    3. Metal Gear and Silent hill both have variants where it is SLUS-12345 GHA. I think these were Blockbuster reprints.
