I learned today that Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris is sold in stores. It has a case, but no disc. Inside the case is a download code. I figured, why don't we just start making cases for games that aren't in stores? Would be pretty cool to have cases for games like Trine, Resogun, and the like.

The Blue Editor (?) was doing a bunch, somewhere... Mostly Wii games I think. Pretty sure there's a steam template hanging out, maybe even a thread, too

Not my cup of tea, I don't do download only, so I can't help too much sorry

I have European Gold Edition and it has disc.

I've done that for certain games that are download-only, such as Castle Crashers for 360 or the recent US digital release of that Attack on Titan 3DS game. I personally don't put empty cases on my shelf, but designing the cases is a fun thing to do.

That being said, it's possible to burn Xbox 360 digital games to DVD to save storage on the main HDD, so I have made cases for that.

I enjoy making download only games cases... and then burning them to a disk so i have a physical game. I made a Sonic 4 Episode II cover specifically for that reason.

wow. You can burn them to discs? How Is that possible? Will they work for consoles? Also, can we make game requests for these?

Well, by burning to disk I mean I use Steams backup feature to backup the files to a disk.

I did that back in the day when I had Dial -up. Once it took me three days of constant download to get a update for Half life 2.
