The Cover Project

I have been posting here for a while now and love looking at others collections for inspiration on how to display mine. Well, I finally moved into a bigger place and got a lot of covers printed so here it goes. I figured out how to post pics instead of links but I don't want to post all 30+ pics so I will put a few pics from far away then if you want to see zoomed in click on links.
First I want to start out in the living room which has my HD systems (360, PS3 and Wii U) along with my movies.
This is my setup: 42" LED, the shelves that the systems on were in that corner when I moved in and have plenty of room for the case of the game currently in the system.

Nice collection.
I am concerned about the stand that holds tv, looks like tv can easily fall on that skinny surface :(
Also for third party titles, do you go ps3 or xbox?
-
The TV stand is very solid so I'm not worried. As far as PS3 vs. 360, my PS3 is used basically as a blu-ray/DVD player and the only games I have for it are HD collections and exclusives. This is less than half of my collection though, I am posting the retro stuff in a little while.
Edit: Retro pics are posted in second post of thread.
-
I like your selection of 360 titles. We have a lot of the same ones
-
Looking good, now if you could clean up the wires some it would be awesome.
-
You're going to print covers for your XBLA games? My hat's off to you, sir. That's something I've considered doing myself.
Be sure to post what you make when you start that project!
-
Looks awesome Nacho. Just curious, are those frames that you have your posters in from Michaels? I'm looking to invest in some for my Club Nintendo Posters and those look like the ones I wanted.

I know the wires look terrible, I have some little plastic tubes to fix that I have just not done it yet.

Those were from Ikea, about a month ago they had them on sale for $20 each (they are 27" x 40") but I think the regular price is $25.

I used a template I found here that was made for slim cases but I didn't like the way they looked so I made the spine bigger. It is very easy to go onto Xbox.com and find all the images you need.

Kirby cart is still empty :(
-
I know, I've been concentrating on getting everything set up and printing a bunch of covers but that is next on my to do list. It should stand out quite a bit too since it's in the middle of the display.
-
excellent gaming setup. nice, clean and organized just the way i like it
-
I have moved some stuff around/added some games so here is an update to how my collection looks now.
First I moved the Wii (that's a 1TB hardrive next to it ;D) and Handhelds to the living room and put systems under the TV instead of on the shelves next to it
(http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/93f9/o48o5f4nd3z4vd24g.jpg) (http://www.mediafire.com/view/o48o5f4nd3z4vd2/Living%20Room%20Setup-1.jpg)

Then here is the zoomed in of each system on that shelf
Xbox 360

Now onto the game room, moving the Wii and handheld games out to the living room freed up some space

I also printed all of the N64 covers with custom spines but forgot to take a pic so I will upload that later.
This collection would look real shitty if it wasn't for the people on this community so I just want to say thanks for all the hard work and hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I do.

Is that one of those clone GBA systems? I've got one, and it looks like the one I have (the D-pad is oddly shaped).
-

nice collection you got there

Actually wiggy, that is a modded GBA that I received from you in a trade. It is most definitely an official Nintendo system, maybe it looks weird because the pic is upside down?

Those came from squaredealonline.com the color matches perfectly (although their original xbox cases do not) but the quality is definitely not as good as the official cases, I'm afraid to open them for fear of them breaking. I was planning on making covers for my Xbox Live games so those should work perfect since there will be no need to open them with no disc inside.

What a difference 4 years makes. Not only have I moved into a new place, but I have so many more games/movies/consoles now.
(Edit) I'm just going to post the folder with a few pics here because this is taking much longer than I thought
http://www.mediafire.com/folder/gbgypkk27d5ch/2018 (http://www.mediafire.com/folder/gbgypkk27d5ch/2018)
The living room has a 55" 4K TV and the systems are as follows: Xbox 360, Xbox One X, PS3, PS4 Pro, Wii, Wii U & Switch.
I got rid of all of my DVDs and replaced a lot of them with blu-rays. I now have almost 700 blu-rays including my 4K blu-rays I've started to buy.
Another 2 shelves for the games for the systems that are in the living room.
My new place has a little loft area that has all of the retro stuff.
I couldn't get my CRT up the spiral staircase so I got a cheap HD TV and an S-Video to HDMI converter.
Here are the systems up there: NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Genesis w/ 32X and Sega CD attached, Saturn, Dreamcast, PSOne, PS2, Xbox, 3DO, Virtual Boy and various handhelds.
You can probably tell I absolutely loved the N64 as a teenager so I have a lot of stuff displayed and I even made some custom labels for some of my favorite games.

Love the way you have displayed the controllers. Great idea. ;D

What did you use to display your N64 controllers?

They are supposed to hold DVDs. I've had them a long time and never used them so I just attached them to the wall and zip tied the controllers to them.

I like it too, except for the fact that not all consoles fit in said cubes. :-\

I was thinking on buying this

It is a great collection. I see some of the price tags still on the games though and it hurts my soul...
-
Yea stickers got to go IMHO. The adhesive on the back is an acid based compound and can harm plastic and degrade game labels over time.

I started taking price tags off at first but some of them are a pain to get off and I actually kinda like seeing how much I paid in some cases they show how long ago I bought them. I really should care about taking them off because I am very OCD about stuff like uniformity and alpha order but it doesn't really bother me.

wow nice Collection dude.. :o
