I have this too, but not sure what to spend it on.

I dont see what's the logic in packing small/mid sized handheld/console cartridges in way oversized boxes. 3DO longboxes are the worst offender though.
My WTB thread (Sega CD/Saturn games)
Also looking to buy: Ys III (TG-16 CD), Shadowrun (Genesis) Hori N64 mini pad and Slayer (3DO) in long box/just the long box

Larger cover art to allow them to stand out on the shelf. Also harder to steal.

Possibly the thought that appearing to be a more substantial object would make them seem more valuable.

From your pictures, it seems to me that the game boy boxes might be a bit thinner.
I have 1 boxed J GBA game, but the few J GB games I have are all loose. I cheated in that picture with the GB player case, but that's what J GC games come in.

Super glad I didn't buy SimCity day 1. Looks like there are all sorts of nasty issues.

On the plus side, I have SimCity 4 Deluxe downloading so I'll give that a play again.

Me neither. Maybe when PSN finally posts the update for the week there'll be something of interest on sale.

Here's some of what I've toyed with buying:
-Knytt: Underground
-Ogarhythm
-Sumioni: Demon Arts
-Datura

So I've got some bids placed on Sculptor's Cut and Conker. This will be like the 4th time I've owned a copy of Conker's Bad Fur Day, man those prices are creeping up fast!

Hopefully I can just get these and the other pricey N64 games knocked out before they go up too much further...

Oh cool. I haven't heard of a couple of those. I'll have to look into them a bit more. Thanks.

I'm jealous of everyone that got that $10 of PSN credit. I'm on PS+, and have been a loyal customer for years, and I got nothing!
