I try to avoid the DVD cases as they up too much space. I usually keep my games in the cd cases, and the DCD cases are twice as big.
I also like a big manual. Heroes of Might of Magic 2, Balders Gate 2, Arcanum, Tie Fighter, Fallout, they all had great manuals that I often referred back to. The Ultima series always managed to fill a box nicely, with lovely maps, manuals, and a lot of other stuff. But I also read that Train Simulator, which came in a big box, had no printed manual, just a 200 page faq file.
On the other hand, games like Max Payne don't need huge manuals. The other DVD case I have is Black and White, whose manual was appalling.
I would not mind two variants, like the Balders Gate 2 special edition, in which the DVD case version would be cheaper, but we can obtain a version with all the trimmings if we want.
As I almost always buy the American version, the DVD case problem has not really effected me. But the idea of reducing the price sounds good. |

Note that they said DVD case, not DVD. I suppose they're still bundling the game on a CD?
I'm pretty afraid that this pricing strategy will just mean more money in the hands of the store owner, at least here in Iceland. |

I seen Codename here on sale at full price, so maybe its only an American strategy. In America Serious SAm was sold very cheaply, here it was full price. |

Yes I got Serious Sam for $20 here in the states. A very good game if you're an FPS fan. So there goes that whole quality vs. price issue.
BTW Serious Sam came out in a cd case.
cheers,
