This first point needs to be stickied on the top of every thread. So many people don't understand how CD wallets absolutely destroy the discs. These are the games I buy on eBay, where the seller describes the game as "barely scratched" that come in faded and scratched significantly.ott0bot wrote: Also, I really don't suggest putting all your games in a cd folder for 2 reasons.
1) Even though the material is soft it still puts tiny micro scratches on the disc and over time they get they start getting a dull finish. Bad for resale and for playing. You want a bright shiny surface to reflect the laser back properly. The cd cases "float" the disc and the game doesn't actually touch the plastic. minimal contact preserves them the best!
2) It makes it so easy to steal all of you games in one fell swoop. A cd wallet can just walk away too easy. Someone would actually have to coordinate a robery accomidating a ton of sega cd or saturn games. It happed to my cd case back in high school, and now I'm still left with a ton of empty cases i can't bare to throw away.
The second point is just as important as the first - I have a friend with three huge cardboard boxes of cases, from losing two CD binders to thieves.
I store everything in their original cases on various shelves. I need to streamline everything though, because I have two narrow DVD racks of PS2 and Wii games in the living room, a shelf in my closet with SNES/Xbox stuff, a different shelf with PS1 games, and my PC games are stuffed under the computer right now. It would be nicer to have everything in one place...
