Well they do look quite nice and all.

Hope alot of people dont store their games in slot racked DVD cases because their may be a little problem there.

i think the design looks fine, im liking the compact size too

They look good imo, my DVD/Game case has adjustable shelves so they will fit in anyway

yes it matters to the production cost.. they are prolly shaving around 2p per cash off there.... thats a lot of money saved

Multiply that by somewhere in the region of 50,000 individual games or even 100,000+ for the more popular ones and your talking five figured sums of cash...

Now multiply that by a few dozen games and your talking big money.

In business every single penny counts, trust me, i'm becoming a bit of a pro with this one.

i hope that was just an example det

... a large scale production game selling 50000 or 100000 games would be axxed with no questions asked. And then buried.

on a side note... every penny counts to them, the less plastic they use, the cheaper it is to produce, the easier it is to store the disks and the more games you can buy. for your shelf. I always thought that PS1 cases were too fat, PS2 cases were too tall (wasting space for memory cards... like anyone will have 1 memory card per game.... intelligent!)

PSP are still very wasteful, but i can see why.

PS3 looks like they are wising up...

well i dont see what the big deal is. it is just a case afterall jeez

stejefferies · 07-11-2006, 15:45

For the consumer, yes. its just a case

For the companies producing them, it represents a huge saving of cash.

For the purpose of the thread, and the people interested it shows minaturisation, and how many more games they can store on thier shelves

soo... it's thicker, but shorter?

Or am I not looking at it right?
