What do you guys think about having more covers available for download-only games?  ???

I'm not sure if you guys like that kind of thing, but I would like to make cases to have a physical representation of the ones I have downloaded. It may sound a bit obsessive-compulsive, but I like having a physical item to represent my games.  ;D

So far, I only see Mega Man 9 for WiiWare as to what is available to me on this site, the others I have are:

WiiWare:
My Aquarium
My Pokemon Ranch

XBLA:
Braid
Dash of Destruction
The Maw
'Splosion Man

PC:
Audiosurf

It always seemed a bit pointless and a waste of dvd cases to me honestly...

The only reason I like this is because of my abudance of spare DVD cases, but then again I'm running out of  shelf space :P

I saw a template for the XBLA games once, but I didn't really like the whole "cover-inside-a-cover" thing. Could someone come up with a template that just has the arcade covers XBL has?

I thought about this several times myself but decided due to the aforementioned shelf space issues that such covers will be on a very low priority for me....

If there were some sort of physical media to put into the case it would intrigue me more but as it stands i'm not really for downloaded game covers.

If anything you can throw a memory card into the case. Speaking of, those things are way too expensive. Double the price of a memory card and you could pretty much buy a hard drive :/

Well, I never said everyone had to use them, just people like me, heheh. Besides, I just found out that there is also a cover for Lost Winds on this site, so that makes two WiiWare games.
