Box conserving

[Haruka]

I've been wondering something, am I the only one who has the habit of conserving game boxes, console boxes or boxes from any other kind of hardware/software?

I personally like to conserve them, because I not only know where the things are saved, aswell for warranty questions and coleccionism.

I'd love to conserve my box's, but the game stores here require them for trade-ins.
But, I do like taking scans of them to forsake the above.

When I was younger, I didn't really hold onto them. The only boxes I've really kept actually are the PC games that have disks in paper sleeves, and my DS stuff.

I do the reverse. I pull the cover out the box and put it on the cover stack, then put the manual (excluding ads and Nintendo's warning booklets) on the manual stack, then I put the box on the boxes stack, then I put the disc into my... erm... CD Organiser. The only problem about this is Smash Melee; guess why.

Having never played Melee, I'm going to have to ask, why?
Though I have played Brawl so don't kill me.

Of course, even if the cover broke, I design my own covers with some images and screenshots of the game

Apart from my old GBA game boxes (my mother used to force me to get rid of these owing to their flimsy nature) I believe I have every game box I ever acquired still in my possession. I even still have the boxes for games that I lost years ago. I also keep all of my console boxes, which are starting to take up a lot of room in the loft. I have no idea why I do this, but I would never throw any away...

No reason; it has actually not much to do with Melee itself. GC disk's diameter is 8 cm.

I always conserve my boxes. I 'had' a whole basement room dedicated to boxes of all the stuff I'd gotten. The reason I say "had" is because one day I go to put a new box in and they're all gone. Apparently my mother threw all of them out even though I had told her at least on a hundred occasions not to. I was so angry that I hit her (for the first and only time when I was 13). Why? That collection was one of the most personally valued things I had and she knew that. Now I hide my boxes in an interestingly large and hidden place in my house that only I know about.

You mean that place under the floorboards in your bedroom?

Haha, very close. There's a segregated attic. Above my room that was pained over on the ceiling. I discovered it by playing darts and accidentally sneezing and throwing it upward, hitting the ceiling in my closet and knocking away a portion of paint. Bingo! Classic discovery.

Sadly my mother threw away the R2TGE box plus Croc 2's box when I was 9 years old, I did get annoyed because both would be two relics now. (Both had 3D-volumetry, damnit... )

[Danone]

indeed, the rayman 2 (PS1) is the unique box I don't keep

[Hunchman801]

I think still have the boxes from my old Rayman games but now I pretty much throw everything out.

[Keane]

I keep all my boxes. Who would throw out a cool box like Rayman Advance's?

Awesome.

I'm not sure why people keep the packaging. You wouldn't keep the packaging for, say, a wrench or something, would you? Besides, you can just take the cartridges and put them in your bookshelf as if they were books.

I got a new game called 'Earthbound' the other day. It came in a gigantic box that wasted a ton of space. Why would I keep that around? I threw it away. Useless.

Because not everybody has the same sense of preservational value as the person beside them, or the people beside them.
