samuelk 10-06-2004, 12:46 PM Was there a logical reason why Tribes: Vengeance shipped with the CDs in individual paper sleeves instead of a CD case?
I hate CD sleeves.
It also sucks that the CD key is on a label stuck to one of the sleeves. Since the sleeves are plain uncoated paper, it'll be hard to remove the CD key label (in order to put the CDs in a case along with the key) without tearing the sleeve.
Polaris 10-06-2004, 12:48 PM it's cheaper. and it sucks :(
TheGrudge 10-06-2004, 12:49 PM Yeah... I like stacking my game cases... especialy those ones that hold 3-4 discs like the one that came with Doom 3.
samuelk 10-06-2004, 12:49 PM it's cheaper. and it sucks :(
I know it's cheaper...I was hoping someone would provide some other less miserly reason for it so I could say, "Oh, ok...that makes sense."
byteasc 10-06-2004, 12:51 PM Retarded since Euros will get cases... and probably DVD's since almost every company ships them
Kerosene31 10-06-2004, 12:52 PM Do we need the cd in to play or no? If no, then I don't really care, but otherwise that sucks.
Got Haggis? 10-06-2004, 12:53 PM i remember UT did the same thing with the sleeves....and yes, it does suck
slogg 10-06-2004, 12:56 PM im not a big fan of sleeves, this is lame
greydog 10-06-2004, 12:57 PM that sucks and is a lousy sign for things to come..
i really see no other possible explanation other than cutting corner/costs..
eMOxygen 10-06-2004, 12:58 PM PAPER SLEEVES? eff that i'm not buying the game.
Zabigypopel 10-06-2004, 12:59 PM Do we need the cd in to play or no? If no, then I don't really care, but otherwise that sucks.
dear lord i hope not
removable media is just a pain in the ass... installing from them is bad enough, but having to put it in each time :\
FantasticDamage 10-06-2004, 01:02 PM Blame it on those scumbags at Vivendi.
FlakDaddy >VIII< 10-06-2004, 01:05 PM how about you just buy empty cases? or recycle old unused cases?
If that's the worst probelm with the game, I can live with it.
I also hope that the CD is not required to play, too much of a risk of scratching it.
Breadman86 10-06-2004, 01:13 PM reminds me of a crappy low budget no-name game... which tribes is to a lot of people.
Fiberoptic 10-06-2004, 01:18 PM reminds me of a crappy low budget no-name game....
indeed

:cry:
scissors and tape?
mc-fine 10-06-2004, 01:24 PM American publishers continue to fear DVD thats why...
byteasc 10-06-2004, 01:27 PM Its slowly getting better, but I guess 4 cds isn't considered enough to make DVD viable.. versus say 6+ CDs... I'd be curious on price per CD ver price per DVD
Theta 10-06-2004, 01:30 PM If it's cheaper to use sleeves, then we shouldn't have to pay the standard $50 :D
FantasticDamage 10-06-2004, 01:30 PM Its slowly getting better, but I guess 4 cds isn't considered enough to make DVD viable.. versus say 6+ CDs... I'd be curious on price per CD ver price per DVD
The price difference on the media is negligible. The price effectiveness in going from a fully functional cd-pressing facility to a dvd-pressing facility is the problem.
