Which version do you have?

For the lowest cost, buy the Standard Donkey Kong at $83. The Player's Choice version at $71 offers no significant collectible advantage over the Standard, as both appear to be base versions. Therefore, if your goal is simply to own the item, the Player's Choice is the cheapest option. If you are looking for premium features, neither version offers a clear upgrade worth paying more for.
