What's with these small boxed PC games nowadays?!?!
Personally i liked the bigger boxes, just my preference that's all the smaller ones remind me of holdinga nintendo game lol...
if you ask me it's a bad move cuz look it's a smaller size now and what happens, i think it'll increase shoplifting in the stores

You got something you need compensate for with bigger boxes?
I like them, smaller boxes means more shelf space available, more games on the shelves, more competition, maybe room for better games, lower cost (atleast for the publisher).

I like then too. I hated all the fillers they put in the box with the big boxes. It saves money on the packaging, and companies pay money for shelf space, so it saves there too.

I like them too, however I seriously doubt that the companies will pass on any of the "savings" to the consumers.

I like them. they are easier to hold and put in my closet and now that all the game boxes are the same size they'll all fit on one shelf

who the hell would be stupid enough to go steal the box in the store when you can just download full copies online?

Both methods are stealing so there is no difference

It's about damn time they made smaller boxes! Those big ones were just wastes of space. Hopefully they'll eventually figure out they don't even need boxes and start selling them in CD cases.
