Green Game Packaging - Paper or Plastic? [Aug 30, 2008, 12:09 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Wal-Mart promotes green gaming has word that the retail giant has met with
representatives of Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo to discuss making console
gaming more environmentally friendly. Topics included giving system lower power
standby modes, and the possibility of reversing the recent evolution to plastic
game packaging by returning to paper and cardboard packaging, with Wal-Mart
saying that would reduce the industry's carbon footprint by the equivalent of
taking 4000 cars off the road.
it is trivial. given the power requirements of video cards it would make a much bigger difference if they just promoted budget and older games more than stuff like crysis.
Not that I want them to do that as such.
Of course the real carbon saving happens if everyone buys games direct on-line instead of having boxes pointlessly shipped around the world to stores...
