I wonder if they'd be interested in producing this as a DVD case? When I first saw the pictures I was thinking "Great a new thinner DVD case!" Thought it was kinda odd it was made by Mushkin.

RAM WARS! I like Corsair because of my luck with them and they're lifetime (whatever that means) warranty (not that I've had to use it).

{Slaps Hand} Sorry

Like they said, it's provided at no extra expense to the customer... now that's service! If only other companies would make similar investments in consumer interest, instead of pinching every penny they can from us and using cheap material to house and ship expensive products.

If other companies followed this example, I know I'd feel more valued as a customer.

lol, Mushkin.... stickin it to da man! :D:rockout:

It looks like a DVD case because it's recycleable.

After you have removed the ram it doubles as a DVD case, no waste packaging :)

I like it. I always have memory just laying about somewhere around here. A couple of those cases would be nice to have.

I'm quite sure the wife wont think of looking there :p

"Mushkin is the first in the world to introduce an alternative packaging form, away from the conventional blister pack."

Well call my cynical, but I'll pass on passing this important piece of news on. It's good to introduce better packaging, but to call it innovative and to write a news story about it is just plain silly. Please, no more own-trumpet-blowing you bad tech companies, I'm going deaf from all the noise!

I currently use my Kingston packages for all kinds of modules. Besides that I have one of those carboard boxes with plastic in them to hold modules. (those 10 packs) Dane elec already used normal CD boxes for memory as well. So I do have to agree with the skepticism about being the first on the planet that doesn't use the same packaging.
However, they seem like nice boxes, can keep them in DVD racks for example, just like the CD boxes from Dane Elec could be placed in CD racks. Quite nice to store stuff that way, doesn't get lost as fast.

Whilst the news story is worthwhile can't the above be removed considering its complete and utter B/S

Ditto. I also give a good bit of it away to family members, or friends in need.
