What Game Boxes Do You Have?

Dyre Straits · Nov 6, 2005, 03:58 AM

Where my son works (a comic book and games store: he's the manager) they just discarded some free-standing slat shelves. I've painted and modified them and attached 3 panels to my office wall. (Once I get it all like I like it, I'll post another pic.)

At the moment, I started stashing my game boxes on it and got to wondering just how many game boxes we all have. I know I have dozens more in boxes and stored elsewhere. I know right off a few are missing from this pic.

AND THESE ARE JUST A FEW BOXES. This is NOT the total of games I own. Maybe I'll organize the sleeves all in one place and take a pic of those, too.

Anyway, just in your immediate area, how many game boxes can you come up with?

I never keep my boxes.

If I did, I'd have approx 250.

And if I actually... *cough cough cough massive cough*, I'd have approx 600.

The only boxes I keep are from the games that i borrow from friends

Dyre Straits · Nov 7, 2005, 01:04 AM

Am I the ONLY one to keep boxes? LOL!

Dark Lord · Nov 7, 2005, 01:12 AM

ill have to get a pic of all my boxes some time. ive got a ton of them.

quality not quantity.if the game is not worth playing it is not worth paying.why buy a bunch of games to just have boxes on the shelves.if i dont like a game i sell it as fast as i can and that is the only time i keep a box is when i am making my keep or trash desision.the only games i wish i would not have bought that i still got the boxes to is hl2 and cscz cause everybody who plays it online are dickheads.especially csss.hopefully valve will make it easier to sell this series and transfer keys while it is still worth a couple of dollars.later

Nope, I kept all the boxes for all the games I bought

Earthsiege · Nov 7, 2005, 09:38 AM

Heh, the only game box I still have left is Matrix Online... I have hundreds of games though...

pr0digal jenius · Nov 7, 2005, 11:36 AM

i rarely buy games...I'm a big fan of borrowing them from a friend. and even when i do buy them, i trash the boxes, rip the discs to image files, and put the discs in a drawer

niceguyrichy · Nov 7, 2005, 02:13 PM

they don't package games in the UK the same way they do elsewhere, so the only game box I have is from the copy of Dawn Of War I had shipped from the states last year.

But I would definately keep all of the boxes if I got them.

Sandok · Nov 7, 2005, 02:21 PM

I got over 100 games spanning over PC, PS2, PSP, N64, Sega, etc... All in the boxes

Dark Lord · Nov 7, 2005, 03:32 PM

did happen to find a mint NES owners manual stuffed in one of my console boxes, along with the NES boxes.

now im 100% i have about double the boxes here, but where the hell all my console boxes are, i dont know. i didnt feel like searching through all the boxes down here looking for them.

Sandok · Nov 7, 2005, 03:40 PM

Not bad mate

I don't have the time to take pics but ya, I got a hellload too

EcPercy · Nov 8, 2005, 12:27 PM

I have none... I used to save the boxes (not sure why) and my wife was getting on to me about them taking so much closet space in one of the spare rooms. Well, before our new addition arrived I had to get rid of them all...Not that I am upset about it or anything.
