I'll throw my hat into the ring, but I'd like it back if I don't win.
I'm sure something low-tech could be fashioned, say, one of the many paper sleeves lying around from driver CD's, or, in classier fashion, a plastic jewel case. Either way, point taken, it's not a very good idea, as most people will want the original packaging (chapter list, ever-critical pictures, and overall tidy look). The ones that don't care are probably hitting up a torrent tracker, anyway. I guess offering this dual-packaging now, as opposed to when the format launched in Summer 2006, would be comparable to the PS3 offering backwards-compatibility *now*, when it matters less, versus at launch, when a dearth of PS3 games made BC highly desirable. Okay, that was an unnecessary analogy, but what really needs to happen is just for retail prices to drop. I've gotten almost all my movies on B1G1 specials, but the average consumer doesn't look out for those, and instead compares $5.99 bargain bin DVD's to $40 MSRP Blu-ray.
I know this would get my parents on board. Also, for people such as myself, who'll never watch the DVD version while I have BD, it would be nice to ebay the DVD copies (assuming the premium is smaller than the separate purchase of said DVD).
Sandbox.
Fire Justin McElroy! Okay, I didn't mean it, I just really want me some Fallout.
A copy of "War and Peace." It may be boring, but at least I won't be staring at a wall.
Insect rights! Presently there are no rules preventing the unlawful testing of Fire Ant DNA.
The Power Fist so far. I'm skipping the other posts so as not to spoil any surprise hardware.
That's quite an eclectic bundle of toys, I'd be happy to put them up.
Original Xbox. Had a lot of good times with that ol' bruiser.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am looking for a 12- or 13-inch ultraportable that can also play modern games at a reasonable level, for less than $1,000. I know the brainiacs out there can help me out. Love the site, thanks!"
