The packaging was somewhat cool but much too bulky for me. There was something very cheesy about it to me.

I especially like the Zinkplaat one, where you scratch off to reveal the art. You could essentially leave it in any state you want, revealing only part of it. But the fully revealed art is nice of course.

I am a huge fan of cover art and packaging design myself, and have not to this point purchased anything strictly for that (with music I didn't know or didn't like), but probably would if I had such excess income.

Yeah me too! That's such a neat idea. I don't think I'd buy it strictly for the packaging either. But if I liked the artist, damn that would be perfect.

This one from Miles Davis is cool.

The Genius of Miles Davis.

The Metal Opera by Avantasia has a cover the size of a dvd cover and has a booklet inside of the cover. Not that unusual i think, but not exactly like normal cd covers.
Of course i didn't buy it for the cover, but i think it's cool anyways
