Which would you buy?

In April of 2008 Hasbro made 1,000 copies of Risk: Black Ops and sent them to various game outlets.  It was a reinvented Risk with easier rules that allowed games to take less than 2 hours, much shorter than the previous versions.  In addition to the revised rules, it looked like this:

It came in a slick black box and had a style that showed it was very different from the prior Risk.  Many were excited, until Hasbro mentioned that the new Risk wouldn't look like this.  It would look a lot like the old Risk.  And then the proceeded to follow through with Risk: Reinvented, which looks like this:

Bright, colorful, arrows?  Definitely not slick.  I honestly had the expectation that within the 8 months before Christmas they would see the error in their ways and release the Black Ops edition.  Today I sent an angry e-mail to them since they still have not seen the error in their ways.  I know that angry e-mails to customer service of big companies don't actually go anywhere, but it's therapeutic to fire one off sometimes.  I've sent many angry e-mails and this won't be the last, that's for sure!
