Do You Care About Came Cases/Boxes/Manuals?

Post by **racketboy** » Tue Jan 30, 2007 6:49 pm

I don't collect them as an investment or anything, but I just enjoy being able to look at the cases and such on the shelf. I can live without the manual, but I like to have a complete copy.

Kind of a black and white poll...mabey some more choices?

I myself like to have the cases with the artwork. Not so much the manuals though but if they are included then more the better.

About the only sacrifice I can make when I'm buying a game is it not having the plastic wrap. If it's missing a manual, or scratchy disc, or damaged box/cover, I pass and wait till I find a complete copy.

It's not that I think they are an investment or plan on them raising in value; I just have a big stick up my ass about it for some reason.

Well I figured you could be more specific in the comments section....

I definitely need the box for my games; instructions I can look past but would rather have them.

Thank god cardboard boxes are finally dead.

Only for RTS games or expensive as hell games.

I do like having boxes and manuals, but they don't have to be mint for games I don't like.

well, do we even read manuals anymore? seriousily...we don't need manuals anymore, the games tell the story now, hell even the games gives us a tutorial. Seems like now in the days, we just don't need manuals anymore. Also we are pretty much wasting trees with those things.

I always like to read the manuals from older games. They are awesome.

and they actually help you.

With me it really depends on what the game is.

If it's something I've looked for, for quite a while or it's rare or I just really cherish the game, I'll usually want everything that comes with it, if I can manage to get it like that. If not, I'll settle for the box with art and disc etc etc. Honestly I'm usually just happy if I can get ahold of said game, but sometimes I'll want something a little more, really depending on what it is.
