Description
     Each year, only the most successful titles on PlayStation are inducted into the Greatest Hits lineup.

     NOW, only at Best Buy do you get to try some of the best Greatest Hits around. Great Games, Great Price!

Review
     Basically a Best Buy alternative to the Sony Jam Packs, this CD originally sold for between $4 to $7 at various Best Buys stores, allowing customers to check out the 5 best GH games of that year.

     Despite being Volume 1, there were no follow ups.

Greatest Hits
     All five games on the CD were obviously released as Greatest Hits, however, the actual demo CD has no non-GH equivalent. Thus, this and 1xtreme have the dubious honor of being the only two games released only as a Greatest Hits!

Trivia
  • While at first glance a great concept, it's suddenly realized that all 5 demos were previously available, multiple times over in several of Sony's other outlets, including the Official PlayStation Magazine, PlayStation Underground, and the Jam Pack series.


  • The Demos are as follows:
    • Playable
      • Spyro: Year of the Dragon
      • Crash Bash
      • The Legend of Dragoon
      • Crash Bash
    • Movie
      • Final Fantasy Tactics

  • Despite being available for sale, the concept was such a failure (PS2 was well into its life span by that time) that the CDs were dumped by the truck load for $0.01 each.
