Well I have all of my boxes in my study, probably at least 40 of them. There goes any shelf space...

I prefer the new boxes to the old ones. Saves alot of space.

I don't see how anyone can actually mistake a XBox game box for a PC game one, it even says "PC CD-Rom" and XBox respectivaly on them. I suppose the cover is different in other countries.

Smaller boxes save paper. No use to waste all that paper on the bigger boxes. Sorta like those old 3-foot long CD sleeves. Totally wasteful.

Yes, well obviously it was well marked, I was just expecting a larger box so it threw me, and, as stated, I am dim at times

An update, I hadn't actually opened the box when I made this post, but now I have, and was impressed with the spiffy plastic case with the manual and CD flippy bits! Woo (easily impressed by shiny new things [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img] )

Although I dunno how that goes with the saving the environment logic - seems like it would take a lot more manufacturing and materials to make this heavy-duty plastic box than just the larger box with the cardboard CD protector

Oh, and I bought the Sims 2. Going to install it now [img]smile.gif[/img]

Gotta think after-the-fact, too... those heavy plastic cases will take up less landfill space than the mostly empty cardboard boxes [img]smile.gif[/img]

I do miss paper manuals, I have to say... electronic is okay, but if I'm in the middle of a game, I don't really want to shuttle off to Acrobat for a question, do I?

I know what you mean, Bungleau! I can't count the amount of crashes to desktop I would have had with my games had I not had that paper manual...
