I think people would buy old and new style cases from you...

Comments?

There is no doubt that loose new style cases would sell well, but this is currently not an option.

Could it be a possible option in the future - alot of interest is generated on this forum for cases?

Telegames UK (www.telegames.co.uk) has loose cases for sale, but they charge like 29 pounds per case.

I have never dealt with this company before, so I would advise you to do some research before placing an order.

I am aure that you have the funds to actually make some new cases. You would have people from all over trying to buy some. The snap lock cases can be had for about $40 a pop on ebay. If you sell them for $20 then people from all over would want them. How many times have you gotten a game with a crap case? I wish I had the ability to make some new cases. I could replace all the bad ones that I got over the years. SNK sold them and the inserts. It would be great if you could sell the new style boxes with modified inserts for old games. That way, no one would really have to worry about that flimsy plastic breaking on their Top Hunter or Samurai 2 cartridge's case. If I had the money, I would do it. NGF sells the modified inserts so why can't you? Give it a shot. :)

Do you mean fund-wise? or something to do with copyright/legalese?

Anyone have any ideas on what kind of minimum run of boxes a molding company would need? Or minimum payment/fee?

The only cases that are copyrighted are the ones that say SNK on them. All we have to do is make cases that don't say SNK on them. If we can't make cases then why is Big Bear making them? They can be used for both MVS and AES. I use them for my AES and they are better made than the ones SNK did. :)

Just ask playmore.. they hold the copyrights....

I guess... if they are not the same design witout SNK on them... then they work. BUT.. then you lose your little "collectors" value because they do not say SNK :)

I think we should start spaming them (Playmore) about this issue. SNK sold these boxes so Playmore should also. Give me their address so I can start sending about a few hundred emails to them. I am crazy enough to do it! I won't stop till there isn't a breath left in my drunken body!!! <img src="graemlins/multi.gif" border="0" alt="[Multi Color Bouncey]" />

Then they will die a thousand deaths!! Remember, they need us a Hell of a lot more than we need them. I think we should let them know that they had better do what we want for once.

they could easily take these games somewhere else...... we need them. (IE Mainstream systems)

They don't "have" to do anything. They are doing this because it is somewhat profitable to them.

Yeah, where could they take them? To what place and to what people would pay $300 a game? That is why this is such a small community. Anyway, I sent them an email about this matter. I think you should do the same as well. Here is their email address: info@playmore.co.jp

they could take them to PS2, Xbox, GAmecube.... and yes... they would sell at $40-50 a game. They could sell many copies more than the 300 reserved by Shawn.

And Playmore probably could make more money at it without all the chips/carts/printing/expensive cases.

Its a scary thought... but they could. The majority of the cart is development costs. Shawn marks up some good money of course.. but that is to keep a cool place like this alive.... and to feed himself :D

Now.... just to get people to develope for the N64 ....

I still think that they should sell them at $200-$250 tops. This $325 is getting a little out of hand. I suggest that we all send them an email. I will start another thread about this in the "news/rumors" section. I think that we need to start demanding these things. NGF makes the inserts and sells them for $10-$25 apiece. Big Bear sells Shock Boxes at $7 apiece. We have all wanted this but haven't gotten the balls to demand it from Playmore. Well let me tell you, I have plenty of balls and am going to keep emailing them till I get what I want and what everyone wants. This is going to happen if they like it or not. <img src="graemlins/spock.gif" border="0" alt="[Spock]" />

dude;..... it isn't about balls.... numbnutz... its about respect.

They are big on "respect"
The won't give you the time of day. All they will do is take your email address and put the Filter on their email.... and your email will automatically got the the recycle bin....


I am not trying to go against you here... there is just certain ways to deal... and force isn't option here.

They should be respecting us. They are so lucky that we would even consider paying their high prices. If you want to start a petition then fine, let's start one up. It should be sent to every Neo site on the web. I don't know how to start one so you do it. Then we will all sign and Playmore will grant our request. :)
