Steevo Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 These versions are beginning to creep in more here. I had Rio and a couple of comps lined up but saw them and thought twice. They are sealed so I cant see the difference, but they do look smaller than standard. Is this format happening in the US/UK as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadu93 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Every album from Rush In Rio through Snakes and Arrows Live has been in this format. To be honest, even though it wears down easier, I prefer digi-paks to jewel cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushringleader Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I hate them. Jewel is so much better. I insist that my disc 1 of S&A Live was scratched from that packaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They put enough security tape to tie down the Budweiser Clydesdales on the damn jewel cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Digipaks are better packaging. I prefer them over the plexiglas jewel cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Can't say i mind either. Digi packs are better from an artwork and package point of view...and make a nice change. Jewel cases are more robust and offer more protection...but..boring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Owl Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I prefer Digi-pack over Jewl casing as well. Espically when dealing with double or multi CD albums. I hate Double CD's when dealing with a jewl case, I eventually wind up breaking the thing that folds out to get to the second disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate the security tape! and you certainly can't get that crap off while driving down the highway at 60mph... i'm always in a hurry to hear it, cant wait till I get home and never remember to do it in the parking lot.. other than that I prefer the jewel case as the other one's don't stand up on the shelf.. I hate the packaging on the new Metallica.. it's going to get ruined in no time.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-D-RocK- Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 The only jewel cases I see on the shelves these days are from local artists that nobody ever listens to. Most major labels are putting out some pretty fancy digi-pak packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keakag Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I prefer the Jewel case. it protects the cd better. I irritates the hell out of me when I see multiple Cds out of their cases stacked on top of themselves. I think I'm the only one that keeps CDs in their individual cases anymore. It's a hold over from the whole LP thing. I catch myself holding CDs from the edges sometimes! Habits are hard to break.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
