Not enough with the box, I agree. I got spoiled by that huge 'ol compendium-manual combo that came with Starsiege.
At the very least, they should have had a listing of ships with a snapshot and description, and a REAL CD case. Not enough space on the box for really good art/screens, either. Heck, I almost missed it on the shelf and started to walk out the door all upset until the guy behind the counter pointed out the tiny line of boxes on the top rack. The contents and size of the box is pretty important.
Of course, that's more than made up for by a huge, huge game, but the packaging should suit what it's holding.
Reaper: $200,000,000.
Rockets: $100,000
The look on that pilot's face when you launch a full pod of screamers up his tailpipe: priceless
