"DVD style cases: Good or Bad?"

My personal opinion: BAD
Before, PC software was distinctive, bright boxes with the interior space normally made use of by a majority of companies, now our fave format is in the peril of looking just like the thousands of second-rate Playstation and Dreamcast games - uniform and boring.
And my copy of RED ALERT 2 looks silly stacked amongst my other big boxes, including the other C&C titles.

Hi guys, got an e-mail from the vigo group yesterday stating that they are getting contracts sorted with there solicitors for the fourth coming season for renting has anyone else heard from them since the new manager (Villa or Vila) e-mailed us all ,is anyone going with them this year love to know,im actually advertising on e-bay which Derek Morgan put me on to(thanks Derek)so i will see what happens i have one inquiry already and only have it in one day,good luck every one ...napper

Derek,
Haven't had any further communications from Vigo apart from the test one, which lead to this forum, so I don't know anything of the offer for rental next season that you mention.

Marty,
I've seen and spoken to a 'skinny' guy at the Vigo office a few times when we were there. I thought his name was Willy; could this be the same guy as Villy?

I know what you mean about Ji.

Hello Derek...i am waiting for word back from them to just see the out lay,i told him also about the lack of entertainment in the complex for families as the last manager was a bit behind the times in that field, i will get back to everyone if they e-mail me again with some news,...it is actually the little ignorant one her name is Ji who is doing the e-mailing and contacting....All the best...Marty

Hi Marty

Anybody else had this email, and does anyone know villy ?
I am about to reply just out of curiosity as once bitten.

I found that when I first got anything that came in a DVD style box it was the wrong size to fit in with anything else. However although I do have a lot of big PC game boxes they are also different shapes and sizes. For instance I can see in front of me MS Flight Sim 98 and it is taller wider and narrower than Flying Corps Gold. But all DVD boxes are the same. The problem people have is that they try to put their DVD boxes in with CDs, a DVD box is the same height and width as a VHS video box. DVD boxes are the future whether we like it or not as the Gamecube I believe has its games in DVD size and style boxes. And the X-box takes DVDs as its format and they will come in DVD boxes. So all our DVDs Gamecube, X-box, PC, and PS2 games will live happily together alongside each other in standardised boxes. If any of you have trouble in getting DVD racks, get a video rack as they fit on it. As they save space DVD boxes are better for shops as it effectively increases their PC game space. Also I hate it when my PC or N64 boxes get bashed as they do because they are cardboard. DVD boxes are plastic and last longer therefore protecting your game more. I think DVD boxes are different at least from the old cardboard boxes if not better and we will get used to them in tome and come to recognise them without thinking about them.

BIG BOXS RULE OK!

The question is once you get your new game in its big cardboard box, waddaya do with it ? if your like most people you put the game in a CD rack and if its one of those games where the instruction book is too big to fit in the jewel case then in no time you realise you cant find it, as for the cardboard box usuallypoeple just lob em in a cupboard. However if it comes in a cool durable plastic case then not only is it easier to store but the instructions sits happilie in it as well!
