Portable Game Storage Solutions

Post by coloradog1 »

Hey guys. I have yet to come up with a good storage solution for my portable game collection (game boy, game gear, NGPC, etc.). I was curious what other people use to store/display their portable games. Anyone have any good ways to do this?

I currently use a shoebox to store all of my portable games. I'm sure there is a suitable sized plastic bin that could be bought though. I've been asking this question on other boards for years though! Hopefully someone has a cool idea...

Get empty NDS cases in bulk. It just so happens that scans of GBA, GBC, and GB boxes can be printed out and comfortably fitted into the NDS case.

I've seen pictures of the GameBoy games in the DS cases and they look great! Thought you have to cut the case if you wanna put any non GBA and DS games in the case though.
NES, SNES, PS1, N64, DC, PS2, GCN, Wii, PS3, 360, GB, GBC, GBA, GBA SP, PSP 3000, and 3DS XL

Same here, I actually use 2 shoeboxes to store my DS and PSP games, and it fits nicely. Plastic bins usually have curved edges at the bottom, and the lids can sometime cut into the top space.

not to be a dick, but... I started this same thread a long time ago. Then somebody asked it again about a week ago. Here's the other threads.
