    Hello all,

    Today I received my copy of the game 'Fuel' for Xbox 360, picked up on eBay cheap. I've just put it with the rest of my games and realised that the title on the side of it reads upwards not downwards.

    So instead of being like this:
    F
    U
    E
    L

    it reads

    L
    E
    U
    F

    Is there any guidelines on the boxes of games set by Microsoft? I remember the dreamcast had some guidelines. In all other DVD's, Games etc I own their titles reads downwards.

    (Yes I realise it's a tad anal to care about these things, but I'm contemplating printing off another cover so the game doesn't stand out from my collection)

    Cooleo.

    Are you really worrying about the look on the shelf?

    Well, talk about the mess that can be seen in PC games... =/

    lol I remember noticing that in music CDs first, so that's impossible to fix I think... =P

    Its due to the Logo on it.. Its just trying to correspond with the actual Logo on the cover, find a custom cover, I've seen a few which have it the "wrong" (F U E L) way around.

    I just got a craft knife, cut a rectangle around the 'Fuel' Logo on the spine and flipped it round, got a bit of tape and stuck it back. Looks fine now!

    bearkilla, If you look at it the writing goes upwards though, all other games, the writing goes downwards.

    It's normal.
    Whoever designed the sleeve assumed you were going to be storing your games upright. It's so the logo on the front matches the spine.
