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.
Rarest games in collection: (R8) Chavez II for SNES / (R7) Star Gunner (Telesys) for Atari 2600
Game Collection -- Game Commercials -- Favorite Game: Secret of Mana
Wii code: 2572 7867 9177 9866 Smash: 0259-0110-4026
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

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)

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.

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.
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.
New ps2 case style
Jumper: Griffin's Story
Here are some more new style ps2 cases.
Crash Bandicoot Action Pack (all 3 have it)
El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera
Metal Slug Anthology (bought used recently, not sure if case is original it came with)
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.
