Hi everybody, I was wondering what you guys were thinking of doing box set for games series such as the Prince of Persia Trilogy on GameCube, PS2 & Xbox. I'll put more details tommorow when I'll be on my computer.

I mean printable boxes I though of it when I bought a boxset for the Die Hard movie serie. I could make 2 different box for every game serie(per consoles) which would be for normal size DVD case and for slimline.

N64 mini boxes were a great idea, so I don't see why this couldn't work.

I've always thought it'd be cool to make custom digipaks style boxes, to be honest.

One of our greatest member, Shenshke started a project which was to create some mini boxes for the N64 games, every box would be of the size of a N64 cartridge.

Anyway I'll try a ''test'' box for some games and sent the result to who ever wants to try it, anybody got an idea for a test? Any games serie.

Xenosaga?

could probably get dimensions by scanning in the box that one of the many ps2 3-packs available right now comes in.

Are we brown-nosing? lol

No it's just true you made like 70-80% of the N64 vertical box, some SNES, the uniformed pokémon template(which in fact we're missing Platinium, HG and SS), some GB, GBC, GBA, NDS, PSP, PSP vid, Wii, DC... so your a pretty important user

That looks really good and I love that they're so small! However, I do not like paper/cardboard boxes at all, because they damage so easily and thats the whole reason I'm switching to UGCs in the first place.

By the way, I cam acrros these the other day: http://cgi.ebay.com/25-NES-SNES-Custom-Fit-Cartridge-Protectors-Cases-NEW-/290448098340?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43a00e4424

NES cartridges fit perfectly in those. Is it maybe an idea to design covers for in or around those?

No dice, they don't have sleeves.

The reason I love the idea of N64 mini cases (and SNES mini cases) is that if you have a retarded game, say Madden 94, Madden 95, Madden 96, and Madden 97, do you really want to waste that much space with a UGC?  Or just place it in another formatted cover?  Seeing that N64 Minicases are printable, you still are able to store your cardboard cases, and cardstock works fine with them.  Nothing lasts forever, even the UGC's break after useage.

As for your boxset idea, Metal Gear Solid (essentials Pack), Resident Evil (pack), Mortal Kombat (pack), Devil May Cry (pack), Hitman (pack) - are the ones for PS2 that I can think of that already have your "boxset" idea (or atleast a type of boxset that I am imagining)

PS1 games that have a boxset are - Crash Bandicoot Collectors Series, Spyro Collectors Series, and that is all I can think of.

Would love to see a nice printable version of boxsets for slimline cases.
