LOL If you need a visual of Lost Odyssey's package..here it is

If I had a 360, I'd probably get the game IF I imported it..MS is handing out too much bs to North America...It's because they see NA is the 360's number one supporter, so they don't worry about doing fancy stuff...blah..anyways...

It's so bad it's funny. That is one of those things nobody should have to suffer, regardless of console preference.GIJames248

Seriously, I dont dislike the 360 for its games, cuz its got its good share of games, BUT its Microsofts bullocks that make me hate it.

I can understand the sleeve for that one CD, somewhat, but how the hell can they get away with stuffing three discs into the SAME slot? That's just really shoddy.

We've known for how long now that LO would be 4 discs? And they can't even prepare proper packaging. If they really couldn't do what Japan did, then why not put three discs in three seperate sleeves, with the last one in its normal spot?

Yea, its not good, great great game though.

That being said, pc packaging is way worse

My HL2 came with 5 cds and they all fit O_O....

How so? Baldur's Gate came out in 1999 and took up 5 CDs, and the packaging had seperate slots for each CD.

Yeah they did the same thing with Blue Dragon, shove 3 discs into 1 slot and they always come out. they get scratched too, but oh well.

Wow, this is how MS treats their most popular market.Tiefster

I agree. I was very disapointed with the effort put into this so called packaging.xsubtownerx

so now we argue about packaging? what is SW coming to.

keep in mind, microsoft probably thinks the game will sell like crap in the US so why bother. This game is not a shooter or halo so alot of people will not even bother. Its sad that this sort of thing would happen. But its still lazy to a degree. matt5679

except for the fact that they're marketing the hell out of it.

It the #2 seller at gamestop.com

BUt really, why care about the packaging? Its decent and gets the job done. If it annoys you so badly, buy the japanese box of Ebay for like $1 and swap it.

This past holiday season Madden 08 sold well over a million copies, Assasins creed sold 2 million copies, Rock Band sold over 1 million copies.. How many of those games are shooters? How'd those games sell on the PS3?

Exactly!

Back on topic... That's extremly ******* lazy IMHO... I would take that **** back to the store if that's what I saw when I opened it up.

Stop being dumb. Poor packaging is the type of thing that leads to scratched discs. It isn't trivial.

my disks are fine...are there news reports of badly scratched disks being shipped out?

stop being a whiner, blue dragon shipped this same way but noone cared then.....

That's horrible. Shame on you, M$. You breaking them hearts. Games have never been on multiple discs before. jackvegas21

First bad cases, bad hardware, and ALL because either A) they didnt want to put in the time, or B) didnt want to put in the extra few cents...

ok and when i see massive reports of defective LO because of the packaging, you win. Otherwise Blue Dragon shipped in the same exact way and nobody cried then.

Halo 3 had a lame foam disc holder, didn't hold it in place and that was in the special editions.....

Did Japan get cooler packaging. yes.

does it really matter? no.

will SW fanboys ever get over it...no.

Wow. :|

I honestly can't think of anything to say about this. That's the crappiest, most half assed packaging job I've ever seen for a game. Dear God MS.

:shock: Ok, can this be considered one of the only Advantages Blu-Ray has for games. No Several Disc games. Jsut imagine how many discs MGS 4 or FF XIII would be if they came to 360. lol

Some cow is gonna bring up Blu-Ray and how this whole game "could fit on one layer". SkullboyX

Indeed.

In before "Blu-Ray is needed!".

Flattery? no, just stating a Observation? if MGS 4 was going to be on a single DVD 9, it would have alot of Compression. so would FF XIII.

EVOLV3

MGS4 doesn't even have that many cutscenes in comparison to a normal RPG.

The only reason people say it has so many is because its an action game. Seriously though, its not as bad as people say.
