Most of the DVDs I have purchased over the last few months are in clear plastic cases, rather than black plastic. Personally, I prefer the black plastic cases. The clear ones seem cheap, almost as though they are counterfeit.

Is this unique to Korea, or have DVDs in North America also switched to this?

(And, as a side note: I bought For A Few Dollars More today. Reading the back, the Korean synopsis of the film calls it "one of Sergio Leone's macaroni westerns." I've always been familiar with the term spaghetti western; is macaroni western also unique to Korea?)

Maybe a macaroni western is a cheesy version of a spaghetti western?

"macaroni western" is one fo the funnier bits of Konglish I've heard lately.

syclick is right.Macaroni westerns refer to 2 dimensional type characters of good and bad.Often, the movies are quite dull and oriented for clean family enjoyment.
I doubt Korean's would be aware of what "Macaroni" westerns meant though, let alone "Spaghetti" westerns, exept for film aficionados.
