From a distance, it seems like putting a CD or a cassette inside a massive box, of which more than half of it was effectively useless, would be a really questionable choice. When was the last time your blood ran cold with a horrific tale of a nearly invincible, murderous polar bear? Hold on to your seats as we traverse the icy terrors of the 2000 AD universe with Shako.

The other reason was that the portability of the devices—which consumers, of course, loved—was a lot less desirable in a retail environment.
