PS2 Game Box Revision

Post by **peace4myheart** » Thu May 01, 2008 12:28 pm

Have any of you noticed that the game case for these new PS2 games has been revised. They took away the memory card holder. I think this is just a way to save money. Anyway, I prefer the old box or the new one as it stands out from just another DVD case.

i was pissed, but it really doesn't matter, it's not like you have 45 mem cards. also i noticed this when i bought fatal fury and AOF.

Just the other day I was trying to find some replacement cases with the memory card for authenticity but after reading this now I don't care anymore and will get regular cases!!!

But the new case has a big "PS2" logo inside the case, so if you are looking for authenticity, then a regular DVD case ain't gonna cut it buddy.

Actually, this is the second time it's been revised. When the system first came out, the cases didn't have a memory card holder. Then they added it. Now they've taken it away again. So if you look at it that way, Sony has gone back to the "true" case design

yeah, as cinder said, I remember when I bought the game Bouncer I was like wait what the fuck is up with the case, no mem card holder? and after looking around found out they were all like that.

Well helpful for some games. The original Timesplitters takes a full 8MB memory card, so I have one devoted to that game, which I keep in the timesplitters case. I also only play a few games, so I know my other two are most likely in the boxes for Soul Calibur II and GTA III. I guess in a way that probably shows I wouldn't need the holder for my newer games, but if a game had a lot of user created content etc, it would be convenient to have it all on one card in one place.

Whenever I carry a game from one place to another, I almost always keep a memory card around, so the storage space was actually pretty handy.

Also, does anybody else remember those PS1 cases being really long at one point, because I once saw a case for the 'D' port several years ago.

What I noticed and will always be thankful for (with tears in my eyes) is the kinda recent dissapearance of that annoying "sticker" on top of the cases that came with brand new PS2 games...

Trying to remove that "sticker" gracefully was almost impossible for me. Xbox 360 game cases are much more easy to open.

But I admit that It helped distinguish new games from used games... but still, I don't miss it.
