I can accept 40MB per e-mail. If you want, I'll host it on my server. I get 2.5TB (yes, terrabytes) of bandwidth a month.

Lucky.

Great job Shecky! I'm gonna have to make me one of those

Did you notice these people selling an artwork + empty dvd case on Ebay?
Sure they're usually around 3 or 5 bucks but still, that's kinda lame.  

[Shecky]

Only lame if they didn't do the legwork to create the insert right?  Otherwise, someone creates something nice, they should be able to sell it those who don't want to bother collecting the resources to make their own.  Especially if they also make it freely available for those that do.  If jewel cases weren't a pain to ship I might have done the same thing (seeing as how I have a few spare clear-tray jewel cases).

Edit:  Another kink (and another reason why I will not try to sell any) is that the created insert contains copyrighted images/property.

I went the E-Bay route (because I'm too lazy to go through the hassle of going to Target, buying the Wii Preview DVD, printing a Wii Sports cover, cutting the cover and placing it inside the case.)

I bought 2 for $4.99 each, plus $8.98 shipping.

Before everyone proceeds to tell me how I got molested by these shipping charges, I already know.

ya, cause thats a lot easier than just getting a white dvd case and printing out a cover that

total cost - $0.05 tops

your cost - $14.00

dude, thats like almost 2 virtual console games, or almost 3 NES games

.....SMART CHOICE?

It only costs 5 cents if your time is worth nothing.

Oh my!  I must have this, please!

[KDR_11k]

Mine came in a DVD case, too.

[Nick DiMola]

I wonder why NoA cheaped us Americans out?

[KDR_11k]

Because you pay less?

[Link Speed]

We got actual DVD cases here in the UK too, if anyone wants I can post a scan of it, when I saw a video of someone with a Wii and saw a cardboard case, I thought we'd get them like that too, but I found out Europe gets DVD cased ones on another video, also NoE forums are crap.

Wow, all you people going to so much effort makes me feel lazy.  All I did was stuff the instruction manual into an old cd case.  Works perfectly and works fine, even if it isn't the correct dvd size.
