What I need is velcro covered packaging to prevent CD avalanches when
I'm digging something out.

Yeah yeah, and it is also very obvious to discuss HL2 in groups related to

By the way, if you want to play netcop you should _at least_ learn to
quote correctly.

Matrix games has an online doc center at Kinkos where you can order
several different versions of the manuals (either for pickup or
delivery) for some of their newer games. Versions from 8 1/2 by 11
black and white punched for a 3 ring binder to a coil bound version
that stays flat when open with a color plastic cover ranging in price
from $2.50 to about $7.50.

The freedom to choose how much, or how little, manual you are going
to buy is a good thing for consumers. A developer can skip the extra
expence of a printed manual, allowing the individual consumer to
decide if he's going to pay for one or not. Most of my games I'm
lucky if I read the manual all the way through once, it was a
refreshing change to see that I didn't have to buy yet one more thing
I was never going to use. On the other hand, for a game with a large
manual, the consumer also has the option to get a high quality version
if they want one without the game company having to worry about
printing and shipping larger than usual packaging just to accomidate
the extra paper.

I'm just devastated. My life no longer has any meaning now that
some random Usenet stranger has killfiled me. My only regret is that
he'll never be aware how completely he has destroyed my life.

Or something.

I fondly remember my 530 page coil bound Falcon 4.0 manual that
comes in just 3 ounces shy of two pounds, about 825 grams for our
European friends.

Those bastards !

I'm having trouble with my HL2 - I recently tried to reinstall it, as
I now have a better cp/gfx card, but get an error message when
extracing a file. I can actually copy the DVD to the hard drive, but
get the same error when installing.

Nothing to do with the original post, but it just popped into my
head...

I know what you mean, but between the FreeFalcon 3 or Super Pack 4
enchancements for Falcon 4.0, it's not quite dead yet. With so much
added, including high-res textures, they might as well be calling it
Falcon 5.0. :)

Did you try to install everything or just HL2?

If you have a steam account and on broadband
You can just get the steam client and login with your current account
Steam keeps track of which games you can access etc
Gamefiles can be downloaded from the steam server

You really can't resist a dig a Valve I would from now on, I would only buy
through steam if it was possible, but its not, so I'll just have to find
someone to start a campaign to get all developers to use steam or steam
style systems albeit edited to make it slightly better. I also bought a game
only released last week in the second hand shelf, oohh i must be evil, have
fun on your sad little crusade you complete twat.

sorry to read you over the years have lost your interest in collecting
pc games... probably later you will regain that joy

like i wrote, the EU packaging is probably best for the future and new
challenges awaiting pc games, but i was talking about those dvd type
cases, and not selling games in jewel cases cause that i don't like

i didn't even talked about it cause i think its not an option currently
in pc games, but i'm against pc games being sold only in a jewel case
cause its too small format and hasn't the right conditions

for me the only two packagings which have quality to be used in pc games
are the US cardboard box packaging and the EU dvd plastic case packaging
jewel case is a mediocre packaging totally not suitable for pc games

one of the big things of the dvd movie explosion was the collector and

collecting dvd movies is an extremely popular hobby, so try asking any
dvd collector what does he think about packaging and he will tell you:
"essential!" try asking dvd collectors if they have more than one copy
of the same movie and they will tell you: "off course cause they have

isn't it cause of pc games coming with 5, 6 or more disks?
is there a jewel case that can carry that much cds? no there
isn't so that's why they come in paper sleeves which i agree
is poor packaging

when pc games need 5 or 6 or more cds i think its time to move
on to the dvd format

like i told david its a plus having the possibility regardless
if they use it or not

that fold-out cover is a brilliant idea! another plus for the
us packaging!

i like the theft-proof plastic cases, and you know why?
this way you are sure the pc game you are buying has the less
possible finger prints and other dirty remains in the cover
due to many handling
i'm all for those theft-proof plastic cases! so only you the
pc gamer which will buy the pc game will have direct contact
with it

> But I prefer individual paper sleeves over having 2 or more
> CD's stacked on the same spindle in a DVD case. It's sometimes

excellent point, and yes i agree with you, the stacked design
is not the best for storing more than one disk in a dvd case
but fortunately i know the dvd case has for example in the 2
disk storage at least five different designs so you don't
always end up with the stacked solution
the dvd case for 2 disks that i know of are:
.. stacked solution you talk about
.. one disk in the right side and another disk on the left side
.. two disks in the right side one on the upper side and one on
the lower side
.. one disk on the right side and an extra "partition" in the
middle were you can put the second disk
.. one disk on the right side and the other disk on a separate
paper or plastic sleeve (this one is the design i least like
of them all)

> DVD packaging is also better for shipping through the
> mail. Boxes often get squashed in the mail. They show up

another great issue you point about
definitely you are a pc gamer like myself very aware of packaging
i'm sure we are in the majority and only a very small minority is
not sensible to all these issues

obviously criminal scum thief pirates are not sensitive to any
kind of packaging... they are only sensitive to steal from others
