Title: What about console box art?
Post by: misbehavens on June 30, 2016, 11:11:11 PM
I'm glad I came across this website. Lots of great game box art here. Nice work! I actually came across this site when trying to find original box art for some of the consoles and handhelds listed on this site. However, I can't find any area that has specifically console box art (only game box art). Is there an area on the site which has console box art? Or is this a new category that people would be interested in contributing to?

Unfortunately no such area, but some console box scans might be lurking on the boards, but not sure.

If enough interest and scans arise we can easily create dedicated area on the boards.

I think it boils down to interest. I think you're the first person to request a section for console boxes. I think a lot of members have complete, boxed consoles but it would be a pain in the ass to try scanning them since they won't completely fit on a scanner.

NintAndBox.com has scans of some console boxes for a couple of Nintendo consoles:

Personally, I would rather look into ways to display my consoles.
Instead of putting a pretty box around it, that is most likely to end up burried in some dark drawer.  :)
