Does anybody have a collection of 3do games they've put in DVD cases with covers?  I'm starting to get into 3do, but torn between which colour DVD cases to buy.  Black would probably be fine, however, based on the colour scheme of the covers here, purple might also not look bad.  Think translucent purple, like what xbox 360 kinect games come in. 

I've found a site where I can order 50 cases for $25 shipped.

Does anybody have a photo of their 3do collection cased up?  I'd love to see.



and an example of artwork:

I just went with black.  I've used colored DVD cases for Sega CD, 32xCD and Saturn, but black for everything else. 

But definitely get whatever works for you.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

What colour did you go with for Saturn?  I'm doing the same with my Saturn, and was just thinking of using white, as I saw it look decent with the silver spine on the covers.

I use white for US Saturn, and black for Japanese Saturn.

^^^ I bet they do.  That purple is sweet.  I was always bummed that Microsoft used it for arguably some of the worst modern games to date.  Could've been used from something cool...

No kidding.  For a long time, I was confused by the purple color until I found out it was for Kinect compatible games.  ::)  Really  ???

Purple : http://www.blankdvdmedia.com/products/Purple_(Kinect_360_color)_14mm_DVD_Case_(holds_1).php

They're a Canadian company, which is a bonus for be, as shipping within Canada is very reasonable.  They also sell blue white and some other colours
