Im covering the original Playstation, Dreamcast, sega CD, Sega Saturn(US and JAP), 3DO, and TurboGrafx-CD. |

--- Quote from: irvgotti452 on March 13, 2012, 12:45:44 PM ---Nice uniformity, but my only gripe is using the PS3 font for PS & PS2. It would be cool to distinguish the older generations. --- End quote --- I can take a look at putting "PlayStation" and "PlayStation 2" in their original font/logos on the spines and seeing what they look like. Additionally once I finish these unified templates for myself I plan on trying to get the "official" ones a template for these sized cases, for others such as Soundwave who would prefer more retail looking covers. --- Quote from: soundwave925 on March 13, 2012, 01:11:31 PM ---yea, the reason I ordered so many is because Im planning on using these for all of my disc-based console games that are pre-ps2.

I may have found my foam inserts (for PSP games) but I'll need to get an few cases in before I can measure and confirm -- though for $5.99 I may just order it and if it doesn't work I'm not out to much. If my rough estimates are correct... I'd have enough foam to make inserts for 55 PSP games (significantly more than my current collection) |

But I'm not totally sure on Sega CD or Saturn at this point - though I probably will at some point. I don't have those systems or games yet, though I'm planning on asking for them for my birthday. Since I never had them back in the day I'm not attached to the original cases. And I guess I'd either have to go all or nothing on the games - either all of them have the original cases, or I'd put them all in these cases and keep the booklets separately. And if I get any Japanese games I'd probably want to switch over to these cases so they'd all be consistent... I guess I'd like to see how they'd look. If you make a CD or Saturn cover please post pics. |

I didnt have a sega cd or saturn back in the day either, but around 2 years ago or so I picked them up at a flee market and still love 'em. As for the cases, I was only collecting complete games for a long time. Once I discovered these cases I decided to switch my collection over for a couple of reasons: 1. The original saturn cases take up sooooo much room 2. 40-50 percent of the cases are broken or cracked somewhere and its a pain in the ass to find replacements. The're basically like bigger and more obnoxious jewel cases, even though I do like the way they look on the shelf. The way I figure, they can be better protected and take up less room in these cases plus will be consistent with my japanese saturn games and dreamcast games, a huge step up in my opinion. All the old cases I have are in storage now with the manuals in a shoebox that I can get to easily. Its also easier to collect for the systems if you start buying disc-only games. |

You make some good points. If the booklets don't fit in DVD cases, then I suppose there's no reason not to just go with these cases then. And looking on eBay, CD-only auctions are lower. Your words have swayed me! |
