We have them here in Boston.  The MD's are in (basically) a cassette shaped
box (much larger than need be, but able to fit in the cassette racks of
stores).  The blank MD's are in a tiny hard plastic case just big enough for
them (these cases are pretty cool - you slide the MD into them and they
kind-of snap into a notch).

DCC's come in a cassette shaped box, but the tape slides out of the small end.
