Oil takes millions of years to form so it is running out and when it dose things like plastic and petrol will be things of the past.
However we shouldn't worry too much because anything can happen (and it will) that will change the way we live.

Paper comes from a renewable source, oil doesn't. (or it does, but takes millions of years to form).

Meh, oil isn't running out, it's oil supplies that are running out, plenty of places we haven't even begun to extract it from yet.
Anyway, Nintendo has been using cardboard cases since the beginning and right up to the Gamecube. Think how many trees they have slaughtered ? Even if they used recycled paper then they still forced someone else to use real trees 'cause there is not an infinite amount of recycled paper to use... :P

If you want to save oil then keep the cardboard cases.
Or invent some sort of cold fusion engine.
