Lost Odyssey - Or why we get the scratched discs
CronosBlade | 12:20 PM on 02.13.2008 18 comments




So I am picking up my copy today, but it seems that there have been quite a few threads popping up over the internutz because of the way the game is packaged. For the uninformed, the game is 4 discs long. And this is what you will see when you open the case. 3 discs on the right side spindle, one in a paper sleeve:



Seriously? What, did they recycle the Blue Dragon cases that people never bought? This is some seriously ghetto shit. ESPECIALLY when you see what the asian/european release looks like:



I mean, really. If my discs end up scratched, this is the reason why. Why couldn't we get the same nice packaging that protects the discs rather than this?



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Amen. It's bullshit when the packaging design doesn't account for this. I still find it hard to believe that noone tossed the collector's edition of Halo 3 in the front seat of their car and drove it home, finding out how weak the spindles were, before making 3 million of them.

Because you touch yourself...that's why, Jesus and Asia hate that.

Damn, I knew they were going to use the Blue Dragon box, and here I was hoping they wouldn't be so cheap.

I agree though..that packaging is cheap and we deserve better.

This has diminished my excitement to get off of work today, but just barely.

I'm going to hold off a bit and see how many people complain about scratched discs. Maybe they'll release new cases, but then again that would be too easy.

BigPopaGamer's Destructoid Blog
Pretty crappy packaging man. I would be real pissed if it was scratched.

I was going to buy this, but I guess i can wait huh?
DaedHead8's Destructoid Blog
With rpgs I usually wait until I can get them on the cheap so hopefully by then they have released better packaging.

Sorry asshats @ microsoft.

Look what they're doing to multiple 360 buying community members. SAD!
Kryptinite's Destructoid Blog
looks like i'll be waiting on this one.
Necros's Destructoid Blog
Wow, that really sucks. How could they put one of the actual game discs in a paper sleeve like it's some bonus demo disc?
HarassmentPanda's Destructoid Blog
That is inexcusably cheap.

 about me


Just a guy who loves to talk video games a lot. I try to be funny and fail a lot, but I swear I'm worth having around.



I'm an older gamer (read:30) and I like to look back on all the good (and bad) that I played through in the before time.

I don't game as much thanks to my 2yr old daughter, but I do keep up on the latest things. As far as she's concerned, well she likes to hit the buttons a lot, which means she could win a few rounds of DOA.
