Yeah, I'm beginning to think I'm the only one who likes the vert style. I just would hate for my PS1 collection to look identical to my PS2 collection, personally. Plus, I've always liked the way long boxes look. I love the retro look, and it gives me a warm sense of nostalgia.

I always felt that the vertical style was trying too hard to replicate the look of the original PS1 cases, but it didn't work well since you're going from a square artwork to the long box artwork. At least with the horizontal style you have a canvas that's closer to the dimensions of the original.

But I feel you on that point. Sometimes it feels like I'm the only one who likes the vertical "original box" style of SNES covers. I keep seeing covers for games I want to case but they only come out in the horizontal style, which has so much wasted space.
