Unfortunately, they are already getting some push back from collectors. Since they are exact replica cases. Some of the collectors want them to be visually distinct from the originals.

Pretty ridiculous in my opinion.  No different from the replacement CD jewel cases you can buy for PS1 or Dreamcast.  No one complains about that.

Agreed.

I could see some concern if they were selling replacement cases for the popular games that included new inserts, manuals, etc. However, selling just the plastic case so people don't have a shelf of Saturn cases that are falling apart, does not seem like an issue to me.

Sometimes I think certain collectors just want a reason to feel superior to others. The thought of others having a nice looking Saturn collection like them, causes a real crisis for these guys.

This is the dumbest complaint ever. 

I welcome these with open arms and will be getting some when released to replace some of my broken cases.

ratigators.com has a pretty thorough collection of US Sega CD and Saturn long box art. The scans suffer from a bit of moire, but they're still very usable.

That's exactly what LRG said. And the big differentiator is that their inserts won't have the Compact Disc logo in it, since it's owned by phillips
