Lost Odyssey packaging


Microsoft...


Tsk, tsk, tsk. I thought your NA Blue Dragon packaging was bad enough, stacking 3 DVDs on top of one another (as opposed to the custom case for the Asian versions, containing a flipcase holding all 3 discs), but your Lost Odyssey packaging takes the cake. It really shows how much you care about us RPG fans compared to the OMGHALOZ!!!1111!!!MOMGIMMECHOCOLATEMILK!!! crowd....

Not only did you stack the discs again, but to add insult to injury you stuck the forth one in a PAPER SLEEVE. Are you SERIOUS?! I just opened my game to confirm the rumor posted to Kotaku that this was indeed the case for all NA packaging of Lost Odyssey(PAL and Asia get a custom case with 2 flipcases inside that neatly holds all 4 discs and prevents scratching).


Yes, I understand that JRPG fans may not be the core audience of the 360, but we tend to be a very finicky lot when it comes to good packaging, and the plastic sleeve is a blatant collector's foul.


Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. Hopefully the game itself isn't this sloppy... The review will be up this weekend (barring, of course, any issues arising from possibility of scratched discs due to the stacking)...
