Heeeh.... I thought about emailing him and asking him if he could scan his covers for us.

We do not need every cover, ask for the ones we do not have, lowers file size.

Actually just looked up his location. He's like 2-3 hours from me. Wonder if he'd let me come down with a hard drive and copy the files...

Dunno, maybe lol
he said its like 60gb for all his high-res covers but seems neither of them are hosting them etc so might be an option to physically go get them
It would be too much a PITA to just get the ones we need when all of the files are right there, it could also clean up probably many of those we have that are rough. Imagine, every snes cover ... yummy

Exactly. No sense in sorting through them while there. Connect hard drive, copy folder, shoot the shit for 5 minutes, done. Plus, like you said, there may be better scans for some of our existing covers.
If I'm gonna drive 3 hours for 30 or so GB, why not just grab the whole 60GB?
Someone wanna shoot this guy an email on my behalf?
I wouldn't be able to up them all in one shot since it would pretty much suck up my monthly upload bandwidth limit, but I'd gladly burn some DVDs and shoot em out to folks who wanna get started on em.

I just sent him a message on ebay through the item, he answered pretty quickly, also it would probably be weird for me to message him saying "hey this other guy wants to drive to your place" lol
