I just paid $49.99 for World in Conflict and the game is in a paper Sleeve. No DVD case, no traditional CD jewel case. JUST A PAPER piece of S$#%. Plus they had to place the verification code on the paper sleeve instead of the manual or anything that has a remote chance of not being lost.

Maybe thats why xbox 360 game are $10 more.

So they can save money? I'd do that too, because when they start playing the game, they wouldn't care where it came from.

Man, even my Sam & Max Season 1 came in a nice DVD keep case with the manual properly wedged inside. Meanwhile, my Oblivion came in a paper sleeve like you mentioned - alongside a boring, featureless map and a manual. I still keep it. I want to someday mail it back to Bethesda with words "My copy of Oblivion came in this. Next time, please respect me" written on it. I guess some publishers are just more cheap than others.

I agree, I absolutely loath paper cases.

They're so bloody easy to lose as well, I've lost a couple of disks that were in paper holders, and I've never ended up finding them again; although that might be slightly my fault as well :P.

Any game publisher who isnt using the standard plastic dvd case, is way behind the times. Hopefully Vivendi will notice that the new packaging is becoming more of a recognizable figure in PC gaming.
