Why doesn't Smash Bros Melee go to Players Choice, always saying "Best Seller" and so does Double Dash... Some games like Star Fox have both the Players Choice and Best Seller labels on them... What does that mean?
Difference b/w Players Choice and Best Seller...

It seems that the players choice is for all crappy games (not worth more than $20) and all good ones are Best Sellers, meaning they never get to be $20... Always $30...

I always felt games were marked in those categories for two main reasons:
1) They actually were very popular, and to increase sales late inthe game's life, they would just drop the price and label them as such
2) The game always sucked, and to help boost sales, they include a sh1tty game with all the other "greatest hits" hoping to convince people that they really are good.
Also, most of the really great games don't hit that designation until way late in life, and for good reason from the Industry stand-point. If they continue to sell really well late in life, why drop the price? I'm mostly thinking of PS2 "greatest hits," and how long it takes games like GTA, X-Men Legends, and I don't know..."Bass Fisherman" to hit the category. San Andreas is 2+ years old, still not there. Legends did it in less than a year, maybe...and games like Bass Fisher are sent straight to "Greatest Hits."

I've always assumed that Players Choice were all games $19.99 (or vice versa).
Best Seller is a new thing and all games there are $29.99
I'm assuming that they are excellent games which they can still make money off, hence Smash Bros is there...I'm pretty sure some of the games in this category sold 2-3 million copies world wide at least.
I've never heard of the "Best Seller" category for N64 or previous games...only Gamecube, so it's new.

SSBM was one of the first three Player's Choice titles for the Gamecube.what the hell I go to the store now and it's $30 as a best seller... So is tennis and kart and soccar. Players choice is $19.99.
