The sad truth is that, yes, there are a lot of people who just throw away their DVD cases. Not a majority. Not even 1%. But still, a lot. I know this from working at GameStop. Every now and then, we'll have people bring a huge amount of games in without cases - and when I ask, they'll tell me that they just throw them away as soon as they get them. Of course, I typically regard most of these people as "Creatures Most Foul". They typically bring about 40-50 discs in, and if they're lucky, one of them won't require resurfacing. About 20 of them we can't even take, because the cost to repair them exceeds the trade-in credit. I always tell them to keep their cases because they protect their games, but they never listen. They never listen. |

Blockbuster used to throw away several hundreds of DVD Cases every Tuesday. I used to stop buy and get a bag for free when i needed them. |

I used to stop buy and get a bag for free when i needed them. --- End quote --- Yeah, me too. I used to work (SNES through GameCube days) at a used game store next to Blockbuster. They replace them with their stupid locking cases, which, by the way are 1 million times better than the hole-filed "green" pieces of crap. We used empty DVD cases to display photocopies of all our games to prevent theft. Assholes would even steal these... I bought 3 DVDs so far (Family Guy ESB, Hangover, and the old Denzel movie Fallen) that had these worthless "green" (man, I hate that stupid word) cases and I replaced them with regular cases. As far as current systems, only got a Wii. Anyone know if Nintendo's online shop would still have the REAL cases without those stupid holes in them? I refuse to allow ANY of these "holy" cases in my house. I only own a Wii, don't have any of these cases yet, but I will throw out any I get and replace them with new ones from Nintendo if I still can order regular cases. I guess you can say I'm a bit anal in the fact that all my Wii cases have to be white (even New SMB Wii), without holes AND have the Wii logo inside. I also replaced the one or two cases of games I had without the Wii logo inside. |
