Different UGCs and manuals...
(1/2) > >>
baraka:
Ok, so I found out I have some UGCs that differ from the ones mediashelving.com is selling. They're a bit thicker than one inch and have a different inside structure. Here's a picture:



These boxes have the same problem with SNES/N64 manuals however:



BUT, since these boxes are a bit thicker, they are able to close properly with even a thick manual or a manual with a bunch of other paperwork. This is a picture where there's a US SNES cartridge underneath the manual, WITH a plastic dustcap on it as well:



So wouldn't you all agree that this thicker (probably older) UGCs are a lot more convenient? I mean what's the point of boxing your games when you still have to store the manuals somewhere else? And does anyone know who manufactured these and where I might be able to buy some?
BadChad:
The UGC's were using now doesnt really bother me. You can still comfortably fit your manuals in the sleeve behind your cover. Not to mention I dont think these cases will be available for purchase and even if they are, onverting to thicker UGC's would mean more time and less space.

Yea, I read that suggestion in another thread (not sure by who) and tried it, but I don't like it at all..

I do however agree with you on the size-issue, but fitting manuals is much more important to me.
Arseen:
I suggest of using 27mm wide DVD cases, like I do.

Basically, at least for these ones you just rip out the insert trays.

SNES and N64 manuals fit perfectly inside.
baraka:
Thanks for the suggestion Arseen, but wouldn't the cartridge just be loose inside the box though?

Anyway, aside from the manual-issue everything about the UGC seems to be perfect.. I guess I'll just find a way to order a bunch and store the manuals elsewhere.
