Black DS game cases?  Doesn't look as good as the normal white one me thinks




Around the Network

This isn't being eco-friendly. It's just so stupid game companies can save money on plastic because they are cheap fucktards because everyone torrents their half finished games.



Gotta agree with Snesboy here. That's not ecofriendly at all. Just saving some money on plastic. I Don't want to know how much the new machines were and how much environmental pollution they produced. On top of that it's ugly as hell and impratical.

A better way would to scratch plastic at all and use some other materials. You can make plastic-like material from maize starch which has the same properties as normal plastic, but is way cheaper to produce and are degradable within a few years.

My god, I sound like a treehugger.

playing right now: Xenoblade Chronicles

Hype-o-meter, from least to most hyped:  the Last Story, Twisted Metal, Mass Effect 3, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Playstation ViTA

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.

Man Nintendo that isn't going to help your image at all. GreenPeace and all the other organisations aren't going to care. You know what they should do? Use all biodegratable material. So if you throw out the package it will just disintigrate over weeks till its a pile of dirt. That would make all the hippies happy and to be honest I myself wouldn't give a crap, so may as well do it.

Plus I recall seeing the recycle logo on my origional DS. Back then I think Nintendo used like 5% recycled material or something. Green peace and all the other organizations were upset and ranked Nintendo very high on their abuser of the enviroment list.

If Nintendo plans to get some publicity out of this they are doing a bad job. They should market it, maybe donate 2% Of sales of recycled software to WWF. Then place commercials on TV about how Nintendo is cutting back on plastics and using recycled material. Maybe get some video's of Reggie petting a baby Seal or a Polar Bear playing a DS.

Launch a new ad campain called "Wii Care" It would be a smashing success it would probubly boost hardware and software sales alittle too!

I've never heard of White DS cases before. Does the U.K. only get them in White? weird. North America only gets them in Black.

Actually, they are transparent in Europe and also thicker (US game cases are about 2/3 of Europe's cases).

really? they are even bigger? o.o; why? The DS Card already looks so teeny in the U.S. case! lol! I do have one clear case, it's the same size as my other's. I bought Super Princess Peach for $14 on ebay last year, and it was a pirated copy, and so I made him give me $10 back, reported him to Nintendo and he is no longer a member of ebay and has hopefully been sued or something...

lol
