New boxes on the shelves...
Author
What''s the measurements of those new boxes games and expansion packs are now being sold in, those smallish ones? Is there any documentation on this new standard sized box?

One question...... what country are you in? Different countries sell games in different boxes so we need to know.

I''m guessing...Ontario, Canada?
Why not just go to the local Walmart, and grab a measuring tape from the Hardware isle, and measure the box?

I can''t remember where I got this information from, but the small boxes and the DVD cases have been used in Europe for a few years to conserve shelf and shipping space. It is starting to become more widely used.
its a good idea too, i used to recycle those old boxes rather than keep big piles of them, but the DVD style cases are nice and small!

Ontario is a country? For that matter, Canada is a country?
I wasnt trying to say Ontario was a country. I was trying to be a bit clever. Obscure asked where coldacid was from, but each user''s location is shown in that little blue bar above their posted message. The little blue bar clearly said "From: Ontario, Canada".
(*sigh* having to explain a joke takes all of the humor out of it
)And why are you picking on my good neighbors across the river? Canadians have feeling too.
In NA, I believe the box size was a spec adopted recently by the IDSA or whatever the hell the acronym is.
Oh, and by the way ''anonymousE poster'', yes Canada is a country.

Yeah, I noticed the new small boxes as well. I like them better, rather than having something the size of a fridge box sitting on my shelf at home.
