Why no 360 cover uploads?
MisterCreazil:
Hey now, I don't pirate games for my 360 but I do buy a lot of used games and used games don't always have their original cases or covers, so let's not be to hasty in removing any thing from the site.
sheep2001:
I think it's important to preserve these covers while they ARE current gen.
Think of all the pristine covers we would have right now if someone had been preserving say NES or Coleco when they were current gen. I know the technology wasn't there to do it at the time, but all the more reason to take advantage of what we have now.
Also I've been in need of many PS3 covers which i've either downloaded or created - there's no reason that people weren't in a similar situation to me but requiring them for 360 (Although i do agree it's probably more piracy related)
Grumbleduke:
Its only an opinion, i dont think that removing next gen stuff will ever happen. I know people have very valid reasons to come looking for next gen covers. As i said, i made a Bioshock for myself and D/L Oblivion, both because i had collectors editions that dont sit well on the shelf. Point taken about the preservation side of it sheep.

Well, I would like to become an admin if possible. I know the difference in quality and would like to help the site out as possible. The reason why I want 360 covers is that I buy games from a local shop that places stickers on the inserts themselves. Removing them is NEVER satisfying so I always resort back here to replace them entirely. I'm a fairly cheapass gamer, so i rarely am willing to spend the $60 price for a brand new title, so the majority of my 360 games needs replacing in this manner.
The covers I'm looking for include
Call of Duty 5
Dead Space
Fable II
Fallout 3 [the custom one someone here did]
The same shop does the same thing to other consoles as well, the PS3, PSP, DS and Wii, Xbox, PS2 and Gamecube. I buy them because they're cheaper and thus I have this problem.

oh god I hate stores that do that. Biggest pain in the ass. I just bought 8 used xbox games (getting 'em before gamestop stops buying used xbox games) Took me so long to get all the individual stickers off of the cases, then to delicately peel them off the inserts. Seriously whoever thought of that should be kicked in the shins.
