Can an American explain to me what's with the grooves on PS1 NTSC cases?
Can an American explain to me what's with the grooves on PS1 NTSC cases?
Is this because everything in america has to be bigger?

It's a holdover from the original PS1 long boxes:
-
I have never seen those before and I owned plenty of PS1 games. Is that how the American ones looked?
-
Yeah, at launch in 1995 they were all like that.
-
Really?? I got a PS1 when they were pretty new and all of my games are in standard jewel cases.

The first 100 or so PS1 games in 1995 and 1996 were in the long boxes, then they shifted to the CD cases.

Wow, it's not like I was doing the shopping myself in 1995 but I'm still surprised I've never seen one of these!

That's fascinating. Why where those like it? To not slide around so easily?

I think it was just a design differentiator. Saturn and Sega CD cases looked like oversized CD cases.
