Anyone notice the new packaging for xbox 360 disks? I cant stand these things! They are cheap as hell. I think they're claiming they're more 'green' but lets be honest, theyre just trying to save a couple bucks on packaging. I havent got one yet but a buddy of mine had one on a new game he got. Basically the entire middle is missing and thers a few cheap stips holding the middle in place.

THese SUCK. They are friggin flimsy as hell. If im blowing 60 bucks on a game i think they can spend the extra 2 cents on a sturdy friggin package. I forsee some serious problems with games being damaged in shipping, and games getting dust and grime on the disk because theres a hole in the packaging. Not to mention i can see it putting a ring on the cover art over time. As a collector i am not happy about this garbage at all. Does anyone know if this is the flat out new standard? I did a search and saw a lot of people pissed about it as well. Suposedly PS3 is planning on maybe going this route too! Hell, i wonder who i could contact at Microsoft to compain about this, or sony to request they do NOT follow this terrible example

I was just wondering if anyone else was as pissed about this new cheapo packaging as I was. Honestly, i can kinda see them doing it with some cheap DVD's but on a 60 dollar game this is just absurd.

Another reason why I like PS3 better.

It's a chunk of plastic.... <_<

@ NaRu. Theyre in talks with sony right now to do the same thing to PS3 >_< If sony doesn't do it then i think im shifting most of my purchasing over to them instead of 360

no its not a chunk of plastic. If it was a chunk of plastic id be happy. Its a cut up skinny piece of perforated plastic taht wont hold up for crap down the line. I guess if you dont collect games, and just buy used junk at Gamestop all the time you wont care. Its bs and just terrible for any kind of collector. Plus were shelling out 60 bucks for these things. Youd think they could spring for the extra 2 cents worth of plastic. I was browsing the forum while reading up on it and decided to just vent and bring it to anyones attention who didn't know yet
