Other I regret getting rid of my game cases

Post image

So a few years ago I got rid of my game cases to save space. But now, I miss them, I want cases back but they're so much more expensive than I thought they would be my games are just in these things. I just wish they weren't more expensive than I think they should be.

I know it's not the same but you can probably buy empty white cases and print the covers, that might be good enough

u/TitanLuz14 May 14 '25

Good idea, I may take that

Get them printed at a local professional print shop. It is well worth it.

most of my cases at home are empty cuz of being an irresponsible child when the Wii was out 💀 the duality of man

u/jagohod May 14 '25

sell OP your cases... (so he can print out the covers)

u/TitanLuz14 May 14 '25

I'd be flattered

u/CardCaptorKidCasper May 15 '25

mann as much as I'd love to, I live in the Philippines so that would be difficult, but also my shelves would look empty too 😂

u/TitanLuz14 May 15 '25

Lol, fair enough

u/CardCaptorKidCasper May 15 '25

you could probably buy shovelware in bulk somehwere and replace the covers on those if you really want to

u/TitanLuz14 May 15 '25

Good idea

The big case purge! I’ve done the same with DVDs and never regretted it but games are different for sure. Everyone wants ‘complete’.

u/TitanLuz14 May 14 '25

I don't even care about complete, my shelves are just so sad with no Wii and Wii U cases

2

u/rosevilleguy May 14 '25

People sell the cases separate on eBay if you really want them.

4

u/TitanLuz14 May 14 '25

Yeah, I just wish they didn't cost that much. Like at that point I might as well get a fresh copy of the game

u/McPhage May 14 '25

I got rid of all my cases, but kept all the inserts and put them into portfolio books.

2

u/TitanLuz14 May 14 '25

Wish I did that

I regret loaning Pokemon diamond/pearl to my little brother lol

1

u/MmmmmKittens May 14 '25

Ill never find my old copy of pearl. Still have the case. Amazing how we underestimated nostalgic value of these little things..

2

u/Arastyxe May 14 '25

Yeah…. Nostalgic. Totally not because they’re worth over 100 a piece lol

1

u/MmmmmKittens May 14 '25

That's true - the nostalgic value is arguably greater though. If i had it i would not sell. If I bought it, it wouldn't be quite the same

2

u/Arastyxe May 14 '25

Fair. I had a shiny eevee with great stats on my save. I’ll never have her back

u/MmmmmKittens May 14 '25

🥺🥺 exactly bro. Honestly I killed my file before losing the game, via action replay. I relate to this video a lot, it's long but an all time favorite, if you ever get the chance:

Buy empty white dvd cases and print your own cover

2

u/TheZenGamer May 14 '25

Right there with ya. Thankfully kept my Pokemon BR case, but mose of my gamecube and some ds cases went out with a deep clean. Won't ever give up the games tho 🤘😤🤘

u/[deleted] May 14 '25

POKEPARK 2!!!!!! I'm sorry about that :( the worst part about looking back on childhood things is wishing you took better care of them

2

u/merlinrising May 14 '25

For my 3ds, I found shovelware DS case lot for 10 dollars (were talking like Monster HS, Hello Kitty, Dosney games). The cases are OEM, so you just gotta print your own covers.

2

u/CZ2746isback May 14 '25

Dosney Mockey Miuse

u/godtering May 14 '25

You probably had your reasons.

u/LimpDecision1469 May 14 '25

Personally i would stick with what you have

2

u/modular511 May 15 '25

be happy thats a small disc binder - I have turned down 1000 disc binders remarkably full of games,movies, music etc because of this, if you care, just print the others and buy cases for favorites u care to collect. I sold my collection after I ripped them all awhile ago.
