Not for me. I don't like to stack any games on top of each other so it takes up a lot of room (an entire shelf!). However, I plan to remedy this problem by building new shelving for all my different games. It won't be an issue for long.
But this is getting off topic... Back to the PSP2... I don't think I'll be getting one just because I wasn't a fan of the first. By what has been posted it seems to be an improvement on the original but the game line up doesn't sound as promising as the 3DS. However, the prices for both systems are a major factor for my considering a purchase. I'll just have to wait and see what the systems offer and decide from there.
...And I do like the 2nd analog stick. It needed to happen a long time ago but better late than never I suppose.

Really? The DS cases are the same dimension as CD jewel cases which makes it easy for me to display and store.
And the same size as an NES cart, including depth. Go check and be amazed lol.

Not if you live in Europe :p
Our DS cases are like 1.5x thicker. Probably to fit all those fliers nintendo seem to fill every case with (but seriously, it's probably for multi-language manuals to fit).

Fair enough. Seems like PAL cases are always thicker though, and yeah I think it's an accommodation for the multi-language manuals. We still have about 300 fliers on our DS cases in the US though lol.

My brother just came out with it be good if cd's came with a case of some sort to protect them.
I told him they do and I showed him the UMD he actually was amazed he said all DVD's and CD's should be made like that.
Actually, I read somewhere that originally they wanted CDs to be like that, but then the cost of production would be too high. I guess they decided that portable game machine mini disks were more prone to getting damaged, and since games are more expensive than music/movies, that they should protect their customers.

Na compared to cartridges it still would have been a heck of a lot cheaper but if the original design was intended to be that way it goes to show they were definitely penny pinching.
I mean I can pull out my old cartridges and even buy second hand cartridges and expect them to work.
But with some games I buy second hand I've had nothing but headaches
Having said that I suppose cds and dvd's etc were not originally made with video games in mind and I do actually remember CD's being the brand new thing being much more expensive than cassette tapes maybe not to produce but at least to buy they were.
1 pound for a cassette 9.99 for a CD
When I see people grabbing a CD/DVD from the bottom and not from the corners I get so mad. Specially when it's one of my mint conditioned games. FFS I don't take great care of them for you to destroy.

This is the reason I don't let people borrow my collection

I'm not talking about borrowing. I've had very bad experiences with my older sister while we were living in the same house, or even in the present, every time she's visiting me.
Ironically my ex-girlfriend got kind of sad once when she dropped my Mario Kart Wii disk on the floor.
