Video Game Case Hacks

I am always modifying something, especially cars. My video game collection is no different. Sometimes the provided game cases need a little something extra, here are a few of the things I have done here and there.

PlayStation 2 games had two different style cases, the original ones with a memory card holder, which honestly I never really used, but I personally prefer the look of. Later PlayStation 2 games just had the PlayStation PS logo above the disc.

Game Hunting Tip: Don't forget to check those game cases when out hunting, Including the sports games. There have been several times I have found Memory Cards in different cases at the thrift store or a garage sale.

I have a stash of extra cases with the memory card holder, and when I get a PlayStation 2 game without, I swap them out.

I recently have gotten into collecting some import games, one of which was this Macross M3 game for the Sega Dreamcast. The Japanese and U.S. cases were different. I prefer the look of the U.S. cases, and modified mine.

I did a whole Blog on how I did this HERE Feel free to check it out.

The Orange Box for Xbox 360. I did this within days after buying this game way back when. As a side note, this is an awesome collection of games, and was well worth the price back when it came out, and I imagine still is today although I am not sure how populated the Team Fortress games would be 10 years later.

 The orange case just fits this game perfectly

Microsoft/Valve should have done this to begin with

I used the case from a Garfield movie DVD, I only wish it was more transparent orange, like the transparent green of the Xbox 360 cases.

Demolition Racer for the original PlayStation. I remember there was a mail away promotion for the CD Soundtrack in 1999 sometime. I don't remember if something came with the game itself, or if I saw an ad in the Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine (Which I had every issue from #1 to mid 2007/8?), Anyway it came in a cardboard sleeve.

I wanted to keep them together in the same case, but didn't really want to use the double disc cases from back in that time. However, as time went by, double CD cases changed and were the same size/style as a single CD case, and I finally had an awesome solution.

Opens and looks like any PlayStation game case with the game disc.

Open up the game disc section, and the Soundtrack is on the other side, Awesome!

That's it for today, thought I would share some things that have made my collection, in my opinion, better. Use them or don't, just wanted to show people there are options out there.
