Japanese CDs, and
games that come on CDs have a piece of
card wrapped around the
spine of the
case to carry the
barcode, and
RRP (if there is one), so this stuff doesn't have to be printed in the
inlays. OK, so far, but why's this
important? For some reason,
collectors of
import games place an enourmous
value on this little piece of card, and don't consider a game
complete unless it's included. Most other people just view them in the same light as those '
Includes the hit singles...'
stickers, and throw them out with the
shrinkwrap. Anyways, just incase you might ever consider selling your game onto one of these people, the easiest thing to do is lift the CD
tray out of the box and
stow the card under there. That way, you can prettend
you don't care about
that kind of stuff, and no one will be
any the wiser. :)
Aparently, spine cards are called obi cards in Japan. Just incase you see that mentioned on a Japanese auction or whatever.
