Thanks. That's awesome. I always thought it would be cool to do PS1 games in a PS2 case to give space for a memory card.

And can finally get around to recasing my GB(A) games.

Wow nice.... Was looking for a long time to get DS cases....

Some quick questions though....

1. Are these official DS cases?

2. Are these EU or US DS cases?

If you wanna buy from outside of the UK I recommend buying multiple boxes at once.... I just checked and it doesn't matter if you buy one or 10 packs. Shipping to austria(and I suppose to the rest of europe) is always done with Parcelforce 48 and costs 28pounds....

Aww too bad it's a Euro site. Been searching for official PS2 cases for quite some time.

@z0mbiew0lf (or anyone else who is interested)

Well I'm thinking about buying some PS2/DS ones myself. If you like I could research shipping if you want me to get you some and then post overseas. How many were you thinking of getting?

I couldn't wait any longer and ordered some allready.... 200 to be exact.... ;D I wrote them before I ordered though and they said that the cases =>

"Yes, they are the Amaray manufactured DS cases just like the original ones you buy."

Hmmm.... I suppose that means they have the right dimensions etc. but have no Nintendo logo anywhere on them....

  • ...and that's the bottom line
Remember if these are the original EU DS cases you have to resize the spine of our covers to fit the case. EU cases are roughly 3mm wider, look at the case dimensions post for pixel dimensions.

I just got home to find 2 packages waiting for me. One had a repaired 360...just over ten days turnaround...not bad. The other contained the cases and......they are actual NDS E.U cases,logo and all. ;D. I feel a Game Gear cover weekend coming...

Ooooh... That's nice to hear.... Official ones for that price is a real good deal.... Even though shipping to austria was a bit higher they are cheaper then if I'd bought them at the german Nintendo store...

Jup I know but resizing the spine is easy and takes almost no time.... Another good thing is that because the spine is wider of "our" cases you can fit thicker manuals/carts easily....
