360 game disc cases

purp · 21-12-2005, 12:40 PM

So in general, xbox games were 50 bucks a pop, and 360 games are about 60 bucks a pop.

The funny thing I noticed is that the game disc cases for the 360 are flimsier and lighter than the xbox cases.

Did they realy need to make cheaper cases?

At the end of the day it comes down to profit,cheaper cases,higher RRP.

Absolutely, I agree. I just wonder what the savings are. It's the detail decisions that cause me endless wonder.

they just feel and look the same as xbox cases to me still that stupid green colour (i know its xbox offical colour but ind rather have just a black case)

I think all games should come in the special edition cases, they have substance and look good lined up on a shelf.

substance what ya mean its a cheap tacky green and there not exactly special edition part of what your paying for is the case

The special editions may cost them a few more dollars, and a few dollars on thousands and thousands of game copies adds up. Plus, I myself would never be interested in a special edition game over the regular one, unless it cost me the same amount.

True, I was just wishing, no real expectation. I wasnt saying special edition games, just that all games should come in those cases. And we are talking a few percentages of a penny more.

I like the new 360 cases, they are see-thru and still have the xbox green color scheme, just adds a little next-gen touch to them.

the case for PDZ special edition is very nice and stronger than the plastic case

i just dont see it thats all i mean like plus im still a little pissed that even in next-gen were still using dvd cases i know tons of you know will try and say "well what do you want em to use holographic cases" this is not the case i just mean that with the dramcast and ps1 it was those small cd cases and with the ps2 and xbox we had dvd cases and i was just hopeing we see some kinda diffrent but i guess not.

its kinda hard to explain what i mean but its like all weve done is got amazing consoles but the same overal pakage

mxadam · 21-12-2005, 06:22 PM

all i can say is usa people stop whining , you get them for $60 each , we have to pay $100+

Think yourselfs lucky

Ok what is the difference.....if you did not want tp pay the price then don't buy it. The thing is MICROSOFT knows every true gamer will want the system and the games. Also since it is on the HD system then that is hte reason for the price hike. It is very cheap to copy disk and the cases but the company making the games has to pay for all those software and hardware engineers for testing and such and then shipping cost....the list goes on and on.....

360rulz · 21-12-2005, 06:35 PM

yea the average xbox game cost like 5 million USD to make.

i totally know what you mean, and it would be cool to have the cases like the nintendo ds cases but u know a lil bigger so the disc can fit in

like the music cd cases only the plastic and setup is the same as current gen...

so confusing i guess kinda like a small dvd case lol

EDIT: i know how to explain it better....i guess think of a ds case on the outside and a dvd case in the inside and the size is the same as cd cases
