    Back when I collected early PS2 games I noticed quite a few had a blueish tint to it.

    Man, I feel really bad because I bought some used PS2 games in what I thought were generic DVD cases, and switched the cases to the "standard" PS2 cases, and probably threw out the original cases.

    It has more to do with QA and failure rates. Those little lumps of plastic were kind of a bitch to get out of the press.

    There may be some black cases out there. When the 4th quarter gets hot and heavy, sony will sometimes offload the cases to a different manufacturer, in which case the coloring may not match. I've seen some ship that may as well have been straight blue.

    Games i own with the new style ps2 case are, (all bought brand new)
    Soul Nomad & the World Eaters 09/25/07
    Mountain Bike Adrenaline 10/09/07
    The King of Fighters XI 11/13/07
    NeoGeo Battle Coliseum 12/17/07
    Call of Duty: Legacy 11/14/07 (this is a double case game, both games have it)

    Other games that are claimed to have it, (I don't own these, so can't confirm)
    Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock 10/28/07
    Transformers: The Game 06/26/07
    Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights 09/17/07
    Devil May Cry - 5th Anniversary Collection (there are 2 versions of this box set, i think only the white box version would have the new cases.) (Unsure when white box version came out)


    Some fairly new games that do have the memory card case, (i own these)
    Hitman Trilogy 06/30/07
    Biker Mice from Mars 06/05/07
    GrimGrimoire 06/26/07
    Odin Sphere 05/22/07
    Swashbucklers: Blue vs. Grey 11/20/07


    Swashbucklers seems like the odd man out so far, i wish i had some more "new" release games, but i tend to wait till prices go down for the new games, before i buy them.

    Picked up copies of .hack GU vol.3 and it had the new case. Had to return it since it was scratched, and got one in the Mem Card holder-style case.

    3 more games that have the new case.

    Cocoto Fishing Master (this seems like a un-heard of game to me)
    PopCap Hits Volume 1
    Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: The Beginning of Destiny


    Anybody know anything about Cocoto Fishing Master? I just recently found this game about a week ago on ebay, and had no idea it came out or when.

    I also just found Biathlon 2008, a ps2 release in February, i had never seen any news about these 2 games. Very low key if if you ask me.

    I hate to say it, but my copies of GrimGrimoire and Odin Sphere do have the memory card holder. It may be that yours were bought recently??? Mine were bought on release day.

    Considering Cocoto Magic Circus(not out yet) for the wii, and Cocoto Kart Racer for the DS and Cocoto Fishing Master for the ps2, are the only ntsc versions for this particular character, then yeah i know nothing about this game. It seems to be alot bigger in Europe for the Cocoto games, and is getting a few USA released games.

    I just checked a stack of cases and my Ridge Racer V and Theme Park: Roller Coaster do not have memory card slots. I have some more early releases that I can look at but I'm still in the process of unpacking.

    My Metal Gear Solid Essentials come in the new type of case. MGS1's double disc case is also a new type (PS logo in place of memory card holder).

    I've got a sealed Choro Q, but I won't open it to see what the case looks like.
