[@toypop96]

I recall an FAQ on the Xbox site around the time of the One’s release, where they said the disc was on the left side to make it easier for right handers to remove the disc while holding the case in your left hand. Somebody else had a theory that putting the disc on the left evenly distributes the weight and protects it from potentially moving off of its spindle during shipping or being dropped. To be fair, if that is the reason they went with, I’ll give them credit as I’ve genuinely had only two or three of my PS4/PS5 games that arrived in the mail with the disc actually on the spindle; every other one I’ve received has had them loose. I can honestly say I’ve never had that with Xbox One games in nearly 10 years of buying them.

[@RetroMediaRoom]

As someone who worked at a GameStop for 3 years, trying to organize the Xbox One and Series X games was such a headache, not to mention explaining to customers which ones will work on either/or. But props to you for being much more kind to the Xbox cases than I am XD

[@SoupyLenny]

I think they put the discs on the left because of how people store their games. Although most people store their games vertically like books, there are also plenty of people who stack them horizontally like a stack of papers. Normally, when people from the latter group store their games, the sensitive side of the disc is resting on the case due to gravity, which has a slight risk of scratching the disc. With the Xbox cases, however, since the disc is on the left side, the disc is suspended in the middle of the case when stored, and wont get scratched by the inside of the case. Idk if I explained that well, but the tl;dr; is that it makes it slightly less likely for the disc to get scratched

[@rodrigodavet7512]

While that does make some sense, they also decided to do this when they finally transitioned to Blu-rays, which are already able to endure more punishment than dvd's, so this sort of protection (if that's really the reason for the change) was kinda moot.

[@taytenlorn7971]

I think with the PS5 and Xbox Series X it's hard for developers both third and first party to not develop for the previous gen. There isn't really a reason not to develop just for the new gen if they can work perfectly fine on previous gen hardware and this video actually is a good example how the cases don't know what they even are anymore labeling them as all under one brand instead of one console. Just interesting seeing the future of gaming heading into this direction

[@Dresfvae]

Have you seen last gen games being released recently? The one that comes to mind is the PS4 version of RE4 a game that was designed for current gen first

[@nicho-uyx1287]

I saw it a ton for PlayStation and still do. Of course at launch, no one had a ps5 anyway so I always saw things being released for the ps4 and 5 and basically always thought that was the reason why. This also left ps5 owners asking themselves if there was any point in having a 5 in the first place but I was a little different since I never had a 4 and came from the original xbox one. Its fun at this point since the ps4 library seems so massive I've been collecting for it and the 5 and just playing them all on the 5. Delving into the 4 library and collecting for it has been amazing since I never had one.

So a small addition to this that you didn't mention; that green banner on the side of the current Xbox cases isn't standardized. My copies of Skywalker Saga and Marvel Midnight Suns don't have it. I don't really like that green banner so this is a welcome change imo, but it means that those games stick out a lot when stuck up next to other Xbox One/Series X games.

[@primecrusader-q7k]

I was surprised it wasn't mentioned. Looking through my collection, Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5, and TMNT Cowabunga collection do not have the green bit, while COD Modern Warfare 2, Destroy All Humans 2, Hogwarts Legacy, and Sonic Frontiers do have it. AI The Somnium Files: Nirvana Initiative is the newer style case but only says "Xbox One" on the cover and on the spine.

[@JimsGameRoom]

[@m.m.2897]

The Xbox cases are absolutely awful. Besides the whole “disc on the left” thing, they do an awful job actually communicating what they’re for currently. I used to work at a game store, and I can’t tell you how often I got someone coming up with a game, assuming it was for their Xbox console, and learning it’s not. Every time I had someone come up with an Xbox game, I had to make sure that “Hey, you know this is the Xbox Series X version, right?” or “This is for the Xbox One.” and seeing so many confused and disappointed faces. Organizing them was awful, too, since they are all jumbled up with the only identifying factor being the little text in the top left. And it felt like they changed the design of the cases every 6 months. The names of the consoles are confusing enough for people, it just makes owning an Xbox a nightmare.

[@xProErax]

Also another fun design that can go along the pile of dumb revisions for Xbox cases is one that I specifically find for newer Spyro releases on Xbox. We went from Xbox One, to Xbox, to a printed version of the Xbox logo like the PS4 games on the box art. And the funny part about it is that it then says Xbox One again instead of just saying Xbox as well as still having the required download banner even after reprinting a brand new version of the game for the third time. It truly is a downward spiral for Xbox game cases especially now knowing that we are going to basically lose physical media on the console.

PlayStation disc cases are a million times better. Especially PS4 cases. They are all relatively the same and they have all been the same size since the PS3. I have PS3 disc cases and PS4 disc cases and the only difference other than the art is the colors. PS3 cases are clear unless they are GOTY edition/PlayStation Hits then they are an opaque red, and all PS4/PS5 cases are a clear blue. They are exactly the same layout wise and the discs have always been on the back cover. Its a lot better to collect PS games because they can all be sorted easily.

Making games backward compatible that have current versions is NOT a waste of time. Some older versions are better, some newer versions are different (Assassin’s Creed III remastered or Halo 3 on MCC not having original user interface as well as not being a sole improvement), or the simple fact that the player owns the old version and should be able to play it on the newer console.

I would also like to point out that for Call of Duty Black Ops Cold, Activision took a somewhat sly approach to the Xbox packaging. For starters the cases for the Xbox One and Series X versions are only slightly different as the Xbox One banner reads "Xbox One/Xbox Series X" while the Series X reads "Xbox Series X/Xbox One" at the top. While you can hypothetically buy either copies and it will work regardless of which Xbox system you have, Activision decided not give free upgrades for those who own the Xbox One disc version and instead what happens if you put the Xbox One disc inside the Series X is that the system will just run the Xbox One version instead. Whereas if you have the Series X copy you get both the Xbox One and Xbox Series X license on the disc. It's a subtle yet confusing way of going about it but it seems to have been done just to avoid giving a free upgrade which doesn't make sense since the Series X version comes with both versions anyways.

I kinda like the previous Xbox one cases with the white ink printed on the plastic, I think the words were raised too? Made it feel a little more premium compared to other consoles cases.

The main draw for having both XBOX360 versions and XBOX ONE versions of the same game is how you can replay a game twice over and earn achievements across both platforms to boost your achievement score. I did just that with pretty much all of my XBOX360 and XBOX ONE games and with this mindset it is extremely fun for me since I am a achievement hunter junkie and I would gladly do it all over again.

Don't forget that the disc version and the download version of Portal 1 have different achievements. There was a game called game room that was a collection of arcade games but you had to pay for them individually and that had different achievements versus the Xbox live arcade versions of the same game. There was a collection of mortal Kombat games that had one two and three on there and it had different achievements from ultimate mortal Kombat 3. There's probably more but I don't know.

The most infuriating case change was Dreamcast going from white to black

The Genesis era absolutely destroys this. Nearly every year they changed the size and location of the Genesis logo on the spine. To boot, one year they decided to squeeze the UPC on the spine too! Sega developed games are in a black grid style while third party developers where whatever colour they wanted to do. In about '94 they changed to a red spine for every game, then changed from clamshell cases to cardboard. It's the most nonsensical and confusing thing to see.
