Makes me very disappointed that we got such a lame looking box. I'm actually pretty tempted to import it just for it.

Its a very interesting idea but i don't like slip case over my dvd cases. They get easily damaged and stick out in my collection. Like i said before though i do like the idea and artwork is very nice,

@ Shen

i agree very much about the sleeves, i keep mine in a box in the closet, cool to look at once in a while, but they never go on the shelf. although you have to admit it is one of the more clever uses of a sleeve i quite a while

Thats a pretty interesting case. Would of been cool if we got a Limited Editition case like that. I think all NA got was a concept art book.

I can't imagine it would be too difficult to make one like that... if someone could find some card stock... then it would just be 2 covers to print and a tiny bit of work with an exacto knife.

it's kinda cool but I'm not sure I'm sold on it. And like Shenske i don't like sleeves in my collection.

The only reason I don't like sleeves is because they often get lost before they are sold back to gamestop or whatever. I'm missing ones for Perfect Dark Zero and Fable 2 myself, but I don't know if it'd even be worth printing them. Well at least for Fable. Clear plastic isn't exactly something you print :P
