The emphasis was on "here in the U.K ;) I'm kidding

In Germany the points cards and the XBL gold membership pre-paid cards come in actual orange DVD cases (points cards) or neon green DVD cases (XBL gold membership pre-paid cards). These are actual standard DVD cases but they have some clamps to hold a card the size of a credit card.

They look like this

I don't know about the U.K but I guess this packaging is the same across Europe. Grumble you may correct me if I'm wrong ;)

The tricky part which would require some individual initiative would be to get a hodl of these cases without buying the points cards. You could email MS asking for cases (hey you never know ;) ) or ask maybe some gamestores in your area. I have a gamestore here that sells the codes via email if you wish. You get a pitcure of the card with the code. So I guess the shop has quite some cases lying around. Maybe there's a shop like this in your area.

Yup, you guess right Kaiser, the MS Points cases seem to be the same across Europe. Did'nt want to commit to that as i was posting from my mobile sitting in traffic earlier and could'nt check. So the Hu-Card minus the clear plastic storage sleeve will fit nicely in that slot in the middle and it has storage for instructions. I only buy MS points from GAME or Gamestation in my local town since discovering this, but i have stockpiled 6300 now so im not buying anymore for now.

Doukas:
If those MS points cases could be obtained in black I bet they'd work great. Personally I think the orange and green are kind of fugly.

But to secure my HuCards I simply slide the card under the insert clip on my DVD cases. It's snug enough that the HuCard doesn't slide around under normal use (placing and grabbing off of a shelf).

Mick Dundee:
HEY, EVERYONE with loose TG16 Hu-Cards!!!

I was in FYE the other day... they have Gift Card cases that look like DVD cases, but much smaller.

The case opens up and has a spot that secures a gift card much like the Microsoft cards from Europe.

And just like a real DVD case, you can slide out the artwork insert.

Most of them say happy birthday or congratulations and such.

They were about $1.50 each

I don't have any TG16 stuff. :-\ So I didn't bother picking any up.

I just thought you guys should know

**I will buy a couple at FYE later today and upload some pics of them**

Mick Dundee:
I don't have a TG16 game to test out this new case, but I did take pics for anyone who might be interested (also purchased Kieth Courage off Half.com to fiddle with these)

I did a quick measurement of the sleeve of the mini case. ROUGHLY 4.70" X 7.03"
With a spine roughly .375"

Sorry to all In Europe for the Inches measurements.......I am American

Vt102:
These are very interesting Mick!.. thanks for bringing them up.. I like the idea of using these smaller cases for hu-cards.

I've owned a Turbo-Duo for many years and still have not purchased a single Hu-card game, but lately I've been considering purchasing some.

P.S. You said you found these at FYE? cuz the card inside is from Gamestop
