Topic: GameCube Game Storage

[k_bukie]

I'm looking for a solution for game storage.  I currently own about 50 Cube games, and I hate those hard plastic cases which only hold one game and never close right, and the best case I have (got it for pre-ordering Metroid Prime) only holds about 16 games.

What I'm looking for is either a book that'll hold somewhere around 50 (I wouldn't mind getting 2 books if necessary, but the best I could find was 12, which just is too few), or a sleeve of some type that will fit in a binder so I could fashion my own book.

Since Cube games come in standard DVD cases I store my games in plastic DVD shelves that attach to my wall.  I get them for less than ten bucks at sears.

If you want to just keep the discs though you could just get a standard CD wallet.  Sure the slots will be a little big but it would be easy to find and would still work.

Yea thats what I do except I put them on the back side where the sleeve goes all the way to the top.

i bought mini burnable cds, and used the jackets that they came in. There perfect and fit the cd exactly. Of course now you have to worry about how to organize them. I just stack them up.

Yeah, I need to invest in a CD wallet or something for my GameCube games (olol invest makes me sound like a professor). I'm tired of getting the case off my bookshelf with all my strength, forcing it open with a crowbar, lifting out that gigantic CD, then hiring the Hulk to close the case again.

Plus you know, I have them lined up, and getting the cases out and sliding them back into place over and over kinda scratches them up. ;__;

they actually make gamecube disc sized books to hold said discs, I've seen them in various EB's and the like, Also you could get a cd wallet for minidiscs, given they're the same size.

My games are all lined up in a bookshelf...and theyre soon to be sitting ontop of those as well as i run out of room...then i'm not quite sure what i'd do, because infront of my cube games are all my snes games lined up.

few of my friends use those DVD holding booklets for stuff like that, i prefer keeping my stuff in its original case.

If I had an entire room to store the games in their original cases, I'd just as soon do that.  However, I don't have that luxury moving into a 1-bedroom apt with a wife.  So, I need to condense a game library that consists of roughly 750 games I've accrued over the years.  I put together a neat setup for cartridge games, and a CD book for the CD games works well enough, and even using a baseball-card book for GBA and GBC games works great, but I have yet to find a sleek solution for floppy disks (which I can use a similar setup for cartridges, but it's more difficult to develop a label that I can place on the top to tell what game each is) or GCN games.  I saw a 12-GCN-disc book for sale at several retail locations, but then I'd need 5-6 of them.

I see a hard-top Nyko case that holds 40 at ebgames.com, and custom-made sleeves at some other places (expensive though...20 bucks for 25 soft plastic sleeves?).  I even searched for a mini-disc wallet, which apparently doesn't exist beyond a capacity of 10-15 mini-discs.

One would think with mini-discs and GCN games being the size they are and the relative frailty they are, that someone somewhere would make a wallet catered to them.  Tried the CD book, but the games just don't stay in the sleeves.

MiniDiscs come in a protective casing like 3.5" floppies and the upcoming UMDs, most people probably assume you don't need a case for that...

here here!  I never will understand the need to save 10 inches of space.  The game came in a case, use it.  Do you move you  DVDs to another case?   Exactly.

But games are taken out of their cases alot more than DVD's (unless you have a deep desire to watch the same few movies every single day) This can cause HYPER stress CHAMPIONSHIP EDITION and fits of Hulk rage when you suddenly find yourself with a stack of DVD cases sitting around. =o

Anyway, I discovered about 30 CD cases in the garage yesterday. It's a goldmine in there. Now the CD games that I play the most are stored in them, and their oversized novelty DVD cases can sit on my shelf and not worry about getting all scratched up. NO DJ'ing.
