This may be true, but I just use regular 8.5x14 printer paper and they still come out really nice. Admittedly though, I get them printed on the superior machines at the local print shop.

I get all my stuff from there printed at a print shop too. Looks better and doesn't really cost me any different than constantly replacing ink cartridges.

no offense, but that looks like total shit. yes, they fit, and yes, it's convenient (i suppose), but it just looks totally stupid to me.

also the thought of someone breaking into my house and leaving with all my games in a relatively light load is pretty awful.
Agree, just a matter of functionality, only so much room in the front room, a few dependents at my signature link. As mentioned earlier I do have all the original cases including the long boxes stored away. Only the PS1 games are stored this way, a crap load.

yeah i mean it comes down to personal preference and what your situation is regarding space i guess. i don't have to mess with this right now so i just don't. all my games are on my shelf in the hall, but i'm constantly worried about running out of space. i'm already full up on saturn stuff on the top two shelves as it is...

I'm a completest/collector, and so can't stand the look and incompleteness of a DVD binder. I'm one of the guys who got a 25th Anniversary Wii (my 2006 model died) and bought a New Super Mario Bros. box for display and better protection for storage.

I have the same kind of itch. Something just feels wrong if I don.t have the complete copy.

It's especially glaring for games like the New Super Mario Bros. Wii. A cardboard sleeve does not have the same Mario feel of the red Wii case.
