Weak European Dreamcast Game Packaging

I'm fully aware it's too late to post something like this but I would say venting it out would be best. I've re-examined my Dreamcast and all the games I have and one of the things I've noticed with that the packaging for the games chip easily at the hinges.

I'm in Europe, so I get those really bunky blue packaging for games, solely because, at the time, publishers had to market those games to other counties who spoke different langauges. I'm aware that Japan and the US get those in a form of a simple CD case. I'm talking about those annoying blue packages.

I'm aware that these packages are niche compared to what happened back in those days. I'm talking about the Playstation 2 library that just happened to have over 2,000 titles. (I don't want to imagine having 2,000 DVD cases of Playstation 2 titles on my shelf).

I'm stressing about this because as people would sell those games to the market, they would have to sell them in sometimes the condition the manufacters release them and it's really tough taking care of those packaging. I can't put 'Like New' on those can I?

I would say this is another reason for a call to make a Dreamcast 2 as I want to see Sega do something about that annoying packaging they designed and it's almost the reason I wouldn't want a Dreamcast here in Europe.
