Video game boxes are sometimes worth more than the game itself. Like it's your stuff and you can do what you want but

Like it's your stuff and you can do what you want but I try and sell my Switch cases to recoup some money, but the vast majority of my retro games were purchased without the boxes, and all the boxes from my childhood are long gone except for some Genesis clamshells. I’m never heartbroken if I buy an SNES game and it doesn’t come with the original box, in fact I prefer it if it means it’s cheaper.

I have a couple old N64 boxes I've kept around for some reason, otherwise I only care about loose cartridges and CIB discs.

what madness is this cardboard game boxes can be flatpacked if you untab them, there's no reason to toss them ever unless you literally don't have the space to hold a small box full of flattened boxes

Cool now explain how you flatpack all the big plastic vhs style clamshells that mega drive games came in, and then the same for every type of case virtually every disc based game came in

I don't think Sakurai cares, and he likely bought a lot of those games used and without their original contents. He might even have it all still, but it's kept in the same storage facility as the rest of his old consoles.

Just use an Everdrive if you aren't even considering keeping a game's original packing. It's just one cart instead of tons of them. Think of the space savings!

I really have no idea how any of the original packaging from the 80s-90s survived, because I have no idea what happened to the boxes our new games came in.

I always just threw the cardboard box away outside the store immediately after buying the game

It's why I don't get worked up about disposing of packaging if it's not a collectable: that cardboard packaging was made to be disposable. But plastic boxes are made for keeping you organized.

Throwing away a cardboard SNES box when you were a kid is one thing. But throwing away the plastic case for a game disc when you’re a (wealthy) adult shows questionable moral character and poor upbringing.

I can’t even remember the last time I bought a game that came with the original cardboard packaging. I don’t go out of my way to buy original cardboard packaging because…. why? So I can, at best, fold it up and store it in a box somewhere? I’m definitely not going to display it.

In reality though if games still came in cardboard, or for some reason I bought something now that came in a box, I’d flatpack it because it makes it easier to bundle up for the recycling collection

I tossed a load of PS2 and PS3 cases when I moved house 10 years ago because it meant the games could go in one CD folder and not take up 2 whole boxes and that space saving was important at the time. If I'd known then what I know now I would've at least kept the Digital Devil Saga 1+2, Persona 4 and Demon's Souls boxes.

I like to buy in box for the most part, but that's because the only physical games I buy are ones that I really like and want to have for a collection. If the system can play backups, I use backups 99% of the time. Which means the only physical games I have are mostly Castlevania and MGS games. I can't wait to mod my 360 now that the store is closed so I can sell off my big pile of 360 games. Someday will do the same for my ps3. Edit: Speaking of backups this weekend I upgraded my ps2 from HDLoader to OPL and holy poo poo what a game changer. Been loading up a 2TB drive all weekend between playing MGS3 again.

Kind of a benefit of being a big name at a major studio. E: also Japan, land of massive apartments and walk-in closets as far as the eye can see. That's why it is called land of the rising amount of storage space.

Buying original cardboard is a chore because you have to go out of your way to maintain it vs a disc case that you can leave on a shelf as is. I get why people want original cardboard packaging but it’s too much for me, I’m content to print out a label and put cartridges in a plastic display case.

I think the only game I have with original cardboard is the PC DVD release of Rise of Legends, which has a cardboard sleeve over the plastic case.

I tried to save the boxes of my Nintendo stuff as a kid, but they always ended up getting demolished somehow. Mostly me not keeping my room clean and they ended up on the floor where I'd step on them. Also, the "shelves" I was given were crap and not sufficient for storing games.Saoshyant posted:Just use an Everdrive if you aren't even considering keeping a game's original packing. It's just one cart instead of tons of them. Think of the space savings! I've heard that ROMs and whatnot are super-illegal in Japan. Or it's just a big no-no in their culture. Either is plausible.

By that logic, just use PC emulation to play all your games and ditch all your consoles, then you save tons of space! the problem with your false equivalency is that if people want to play original carts/discs on original hardware, an Everdrive doesn’t let you do that. The cardboard packaging doesn’t actually serve any utility when playing the games. Quote is not edit

My mom would always throw out out any boxes or even manuals as they were trash in her eyes. She even threw out the box for that Link to the Past package with the game guide that was worth 4000 or something last I checked. Of course this probably led to my later hoarding tendencies when I became a teenager and into my twenties.
