Are you willing to part with some of them? ;)

I actually just switched Devil May Cry into one of them, because my dad bought it used from EB, and it had forty fucking "return within 14 days if seal is not broken" stickers on it, which leave highly unattractive goo on the case...

Easily remedied with a $1.49 container of Goop, which can be readily had at any Pep Boys or somesuch auto parts outlet. Spread some Goop on the sticker residue and wait about 20 seconds. Then, gently wipe with a damp towel and no more residue! :D

Jewelcases are the most worthless type of storage ever... They break so fucking easily, it's rediculous

What, when you sit on them? I've never had one break.

Smaller is always better for game storage. Jewel cases or those TG-16 style jewel cases (especially neat because the cards are just slick). I don't mind DVD cases because they're thin and somewhat of a universal shape.

Boxes all shapes and sizes annoy me, especially cardboard. Genesis cases would be cool if I didn't have so many of them. Plus, I hate how many different styles they went through with the slip artwork. Looks like a mess on the shelf.

what are you talking about? Half the time jewel cases come pre-broken straight from the store. I sure do love those nice cracks that run along the very front of the case. Or how about when you open them up for the first time and the disk, along with about 10 little plastic bits that used to hold the disk in place, all fall out.

I prefer jewel cases to anything else. They're economical, small, and easy to store. They're not that durable though. DVD cases are a nice compromise between the big Saturn/early PSX cases and jewel cases. I absolutely loved the cases used for Wipeout and Twisted Metal on the PSX. Easy to open AND durable. DVD cases tend to be a pain in the ass to get the games out of.

The very reason I keep DVD cases and throw away jewel cases is because jewel cases are so incredibly fragile. So I much prefer clamshell DVD cases to jewel cases.

I've never broken or damaged a jewel case either. The only ones I have that have any damage were either used or came in the mail. What do you people do to your games that makes jewel cases seem "incredibly fragile"? Sheesh... :p

You never get pissed at a video game and throw it around? ;)

I take really good care of my games and jewel cases. Those bitches iz fragile so stop denying it!;)

A lot of stores have the little plastic thing on CDs especially and they break the case 80% of the time trying to use their little "key" to get the cd or game out of it. You don't have to abuse your games or their cases to cause the jewel case to break. I have had a lot of them break just when I open them up to put them in.
