How to safely move with video games?

[Cloisonne]

I'm moving next month and I want to know any good ways of protecting my video games/consoles while moving.

How should I protect my original NES/N64 boxes? How should I pack consoles? And games that are in UGCs?

when i had to evacuate my waterdamaged apartment i just used moving boxes and paper bags (in europe they come with handles) and a bit of bubblewrap for those prone-to-cracking psx games. as long as nes/snes/n64 boxes are empty they shouldn't weigh down on each other too much. i organized that move with my dad and bro tho, i wouldn't trust a mover with that stuff i i were you.

Pack consoles in original packaging if possible.  Boxes in crush-proof bins (like the big rubbermaid stuff), loose consoles stacked on top of each other with a layer or two of cardboard and bubble wrap, like a cake made out of consoles   Carts in UGCs, duh

Last time I moved my shelves I got some crate wrapping plastic, wrapped the shit out of the entire shelf and put it into truck lol

I have also done so with just tons of boxes, make sure you know where stuff is and the safest way to move it

I suggest buying plastic box protectors for your game boxes, like tie ones at videogameboxprotectrs.

I wrapped my consoles in my t-shirts when I moved to keep them safer.

I do the same thing when I bring one over a friend's house.

I do this as well.

When I moved, I wrapped each console in bubble wrap, and make a note of which box it is so you don't start chucking it about. As for games, as long as they're in plastic cases (UGC, DS, DVD) they'll be fine. Use plastic bins when possible.

For an added layer of protection, you should not let any moving company touch your Games, Systems or Accessories.

After carefully packing them up, like the posters above suggested, load em up in your car.
Put the heaviest and sturdiest stuff closest to the front of your car,
and the lightest, softest stuff near the back.
That way, if you have to slam on your breaks, for whatever reason, the delicate stuff won't get crushed.
