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

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!)

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.

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.

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

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 know you have just said this but the games have always been in a blue case. Never grey. Never black (Except The Getaway). Just a very dark blue, now a bright blue. :D

My copy of GT3 is in a red case, which matches the cover nicely.
