Is it true that it is coming in a cardboard box. I mean, there is nothing really wrong with that but I just love having a case for my Neo games. I should stop being so shallow, right?

Ouch, a cardboard box? I really hope not, guess we all have been spoilt by those beautiful snap-lock cases...

two days before me birthday...yay!

well anyway...

cardboard boxes are better. there is no insert to get ruined <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

also, i hate snaplock cases, they systematically destroy neo games. the snk logo on the inside scratches carts/manuals and the stupid holes around the outside, no to mention the plastic isnt sealed on the bottm, ruin inserts as well.

long live clam shell cases! theyre nice and soft and have the full size insert, not to mention if you take the tray out they store mvs games as well

Cardboard box? Who starts these rumors?

And holy shit, someone out there doesn't like snaplock cases?

Ye-ha! KoF2k1!

Since the rumours first spreaded about a possible home release I'm sooo excited... Just like a lil' boy, waiting for his x-mas presents, lol! <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Well, my x-mas will be around the first quarter of 2k2 I'd guess!

About cardboard boxes or snaplock cases... Uhm, I don't care. I want the game, even if I'd have to buy the ROM chips in a plastic bag.

Anyway, I always preferred the old-style cart cases, they are much more elegant. The snaplocks of the new-style cases tend to wear out quickly.

Damn right, I love the vinyl cases. Nothing against the plastic snap locks, I just love the soft touch and and smell of the case. The only down side to them is people mistake them for porno boxes <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

I sure as hell hope it doesn't come in a cardboard box! Come on! We're spending well over $200 on a game. I don't know about you guys, but I want to get my money's worth. I want a sturdy case that'll protect the investment. Not something that'll easily get damaged in water and can be easily damaged altogether. Cardboard boxes are cheap packaging for a video game. I didn't like it when Nintendo did. I didn't care for it when Sega did that crap on some Genesis games and I sure as hell don't want that for the Neo Geo! <IMG SRC="smilies/mad.gif" border="0">

Funny how shit gets spread... In this thread:
http://www.neo-geo.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=10&t=003136

I jokingly say that it will be packed in a cardboard box, or a SNES style slip. I had no intention on anyone actually believing it. Although, I do have a source that says it will be packed with Neo Geo chewing gum. Or is that the "Hyper Multi-Laser Neo Geo 24" system... I can never remember which.

OK, how many people thought I wasnt joking about the cardbaord box? I mean come on...

I guess its hard to pick up sarcasm through text. Though I tried to do it through the SNES style slip comment. I have failed...

Cardboard if were lucky... I have a source that says it will be a brown paper bag with KOF 2001 written in crayon on the outside. But I have been assured the color stripe will be correct genre color.

I heard some one say that it was going to be just the rom chips in a plastic baggie.
