--- Quote from: noclass_nick on September 10, 2012, 08:31:20 PM ---dont try replace with jewel cases either, half the manuals dont fit in them, and if they do chances are ull damage the manual trying to slide it in there :P --- End quote --- Even with the jewel cases that ps1 games came in originally you'll run the risk of damaging the manuals :( I know because the person who I got my ps1 games from has a lot of damage on most manuals and I doubt he cared about replacing the cases. But then again, PAL versions might be different since those cases are different then the ntsc ones and I would assume PAL manuals would have the manuals in more then 1 language making them a bit thicker. But to be on topic...I much prefer to have them in jewel cases over anything else because I actually like how the cover art was designed...and it'd be a shame to not be able to see the inside tray art if transfering them into dvd cases or other types of cases. |

I use 8-disc poly cases for my PSone games. If i have the original cases i place them inside the case itself. It fits perfectly with no bulging whatsoever (obviously those multidisc cases are too wide though). I do this so my games are still uniform but i can still keep the original cases without taking up any extra space. ;D |

--- Quote ---because I actually like how the cover art was designed --- End quote --- This. I've been designing my own covers for more or less all of my games (you guys don't have Jeopardy or Family Feud lol) recently but it's come to my attention that with all of those SNES games I got, I need to find some way to cram all of my PSX games on my not-so-large gaming shelf (I'll post pics in the gallery soon enough). That added to the fact that I don't need to spend the money on more dvd boxes (also noting that the double-wide dvd box I use for FF8 can't hold the manual too well) leads me to believe that the original jewels would be the way to go. Also I've never in my life seen the longboxes in person. Are they a PAL-only thing? And @superchop, all of my manuals are in very good-excellent condition. They've more or less been taken care of for the past fourteen years... Got most of them when PSX was still outselling the PS2, and before that. So they're all legitimate CIB, although my copy of Dino Crisis has been missing the RE3 demo disc for years now... On topic again. I'll probably stick with the jewels (8-poly sounds like an acceptable compromise if I ever get any), but if you wanna leave your opinions here still, keep 'em coming; it's still interesting to see how people organize their collections. |

Nah, they're a worldwide thing, UmbraPhasmatis. PS1 lonboxes are just hard to come by, because their so rare. Here are the 3 variants of PS1 longboxes: Jewel Longbox Ridged Longbox *(This is the only longbox I've encountered. My "The Need For Speed" game came in this kind of longbox.)* Fake Ridged Longbox |

I just wish my mom still worked for her because he had a bunch of other games and systems :( |
