Is it just me or does all the games now have blue cases?
At first they were grey with a few exceptions (MGS2 was clear) then FFX came in blue.
I thought it quite tastefull but carried on nonetheless.
Then Timesplitters2, GTA:VC, and Ratchet & Clank all ahve blue cases.

So, has everyone else got blue cases? Or is it just the games I've got?

Do tell,
FFF

Same sort of colour, I knew there was a difference. I have my orginal launch copy of Tekken Tag, Ridge Racer 5 and Timesplitters all of which I got on the 24th November 2000. Should of sold them and my PS2 for £1500 and made a profit.

I've still got my original launch copy of TimeSplitters. It looks black, but it's actually a very, very dark navy blue.

It does seem odd but as long as the game is good i don't care what colour it is apart from colours that are ugly like bright, pink or sicky brown.

Actually the old cases e.g when PS2 first came out, the game cases were a dark grey. If you compare those cases with the Getaway you will see the difference.

Yeah, that was odd - first game I've had for ages in a black case.

Still, anything's better than the green things they use for Xbox. They just look cheap and nasty.

(Note to Xbox fans - this isn't a dig. I hate green on anything other than grass and trees, and I genuinely think the green cases look vile!)

No they just bung any case on the display. The real game you buy will have which ever case was shipped with it. I've seen Woolies place loads of PS2 games on there self with the XBox cases, if you buy the game you would get the proper case, as they retrieve it from the store room with the plastic covering over it etc.

If you own loads of different colour cases then just swap them over.
