New Case Idea For Disc Based Games
TDIRunner:
If you end up getting rid of PS3 cases, I might be interested in a few. I don't need many, I just haven't had any luck finding them cheap in small quantities.

I had a game store and we'd store the games in similar sleeves as we'd use the game boxes for display. Over long periods, the games would become damaged, even just sitting there. They'd just get scuffed on the bottom and top. You'll see. I don't recommend this.

This was my main concern before deciding to make the conversion. I certainly didn't want to use any method that might damage my games, music, or movies. I'm quite confident that they won't. The DiscSox sleeves are honestly a much higher quality material than your typical disc sleeves. Even better than the older Case Logic material and I've had a couple Case Logic CD wallets I used for CDs in my car that are going on fifteen years without causing damage to discs. Furthermore, I put the sample sleeves they sent me through a year's worth of testing before actually making the decision. Tested many other sleeves designs as well. There were additional methods, but the testing mainly consisted of sliding the discs in and out of the sleeves in different manners fifty or more times a week. Believe me, I did NOT enter into this lightly at all. In all my testing, the DiscSox were far and away the best solution. Frankly, most similar looking sleeves were absolute crap. Discs were damaged and even a few destroyed beyond playability. The worst that happened to the DiscSox sleeves is a cracked disc when I pulled it out under an extreme angle with a great deal of force on one side.
I would never have posted anything about these sleeves if I didn't whole heartedly believe they were a safe method. They are expensive at about a $1 per sleeve, but you definitely get quality for that price. Much greater quality than any other sleeve I tested and I tested just about anything I could find. They certainly aren't for everyone and if I had the room, I'd still be using the standard cases, but I honestly don't fear any damage from long term use.
