What was the US thinking?

Damn that case/CD cover and everything is sexy too by the way.

I believe the Xbox "duke" controller is testament to the larger is better thinking.

Bigger is better, more visible on the shelf to make you buy it, and harder to steal by stuffing in your pocket.

Always called the original Xbox controller the "hamburger controller" myself.

Goddammit Andrew Hussie.

You lead us up to this epic battle between two main characters, then do this "shoosh" and "pap" routine? And then you update with one of these silly panels every twenty minutes?

Thanks for all the 3:30 AM trolling, sir.

Just normal jewel cases it seems:

Mega-CD-SONIC-HEDGEHOG-CD

Just looking at that gives me epilepsy...

Indeed, early PSX box cases were kind of ugly too

Actually I have no idea what Sega CD cases were like in Japan? Wonder if they were just normal jewel cases like the Satrn was there...

Just normal jewel cases it seems:

That's possibly the worst art design I've ever seen on a game case.

I know that hits close to home, dsheinem. But it is true. I have some longbox games, but I kind of hate them. If a game was re-issued in standard jewel case, I prefer it. Although there's an exception -- I really like the longboxes that were either a tougher black plastic with artwork placed on them as a sticker, or the cardboard longboxes.
