When it comes to packaging, I generally give the Genesis the edge. While the SNES had glossy boxes, you can't beat the durability and convenience of a clam shell case.
But what's the deal with the manuals?
The SNES, for the most part, had glossy, fully-colored manuals that were fun to read.
On the Genesis you were lucky if the cover was in color. The booklet itself was always in black and white, printed on some kind of recycled paper. Viewing the screenshots in black and white was not enticing at all.
Thoughts?

Re: Manuals: Genesis vs SNES
I think a lot of Genesis games did have glossy manuals. Maybe it depended on the company.
