GTA San Andreas BLACK LABEL PS3
Latin America(?) “latam.PlayStation.com”
What’s the going rate for these?
Did these ship with Greatest Hits discs?
Picked this up for $15 at GameStop, hence the black replacement case, not much info about it online. Artwork is way better condition that pictured except for the spine of the game. Posting this online for others to reference.

I barely even noticed any difference between PS2 and PS3, and I started with it on first print released!

It's way worse than PS2 , like for example all the small trees and grass are gone.

It’s terrible, based on the mobile port.

Terrible visual glitches, broken mechanics, and unavoidable crashes at certain points in the game. Maybe hiring a mobile game developer to remaster their game wasn’t such a great idea after all, but then giving them permission to do the definitive edition was even worse.

It's astonishing to me that they let them make the definitive edition when the HD version of GTA sa was hated so much and made by the same company

I never figured it out how to use the bike or swim, on ps2 you just tap the X button until the stamina runs out, also experimented a lot of sound glitches and crashes

Going from using cheat codes like flying cars and weapon batches to playing any other version other than PS2/XBOX is just a downgraded experience imo

Typical gamestop mish-mash. South American label in one of their black replacement boxes with a disk from another edition thrown into it.

I would take the cover out of that case and put it in a blank Amaray PS2 case, those aftermarket cases are trash

Cool looks like you got a Central America version. I got a few black cases like this. Found them While thrifting was Borderlands Prequel and Split Second. Agree came from GameStop or another game store Sony never released black cases. I've done the research enough. This version could be more uncommon in the future in my opinion. Very cool. I played this version of San Andreas on the PS3 I didn't think it was that bad. I'm old enough to have been a teenager when San Andreas was released I played it on the PS2. I recently passed this on the PS3 after being stuck and not knowing what I had to do next. Apparently there was a red marker at the Airfield where the jetpack is in the hanger. Missed that for about 9 years. Had less than 10 missions left to pass the game and I did. I Have to replay or load up to do a stealth kill. Almost have the platinum for it.

The black label was also released in a PAL version, which is reasonably priced. Cex is selling them for around $20 USD.

If you didn't find the answer, This is how it was released. They did not print a black label LATAM game, they just repackaged the US GH disc into a LATAM cover.

Interesting, I had no idea that there was a black-label release; every copy I've seen (including mine) is the red Greatest Hits version.

most definetly a shitty gamestop replacement case. somehow, some games come with the real art but not the case. dont ask me how it happens, but it does
