You've made a good point johnny, I was thinking the same thing. If you don't have a house or if your house is getting tacky just pile the game boxes around you in a house-like formation and stick everything together with tape! :D

I keep them. A lot of games come with multiple cd's, manuals, & maps. It is a good way to keep it all together. Most boxes are of good quality too.

I keep them too. This means I have piles of game boxes in my wardrobe under the hanging spaces, piles of boxes on the shelf under my computer desk, piles of boxes in cupboards at my mums house... piles of boxes everywhere.
I really am running out of room and I've started thinking about what to do with them. Don't really wanna throw em out though.

All my manuals that are any use actually refering to (ie Balders Gate [img]smile.gif[/img] ) are either on my desk if I'm currently playing that game or all shoved into the top 2 game boxes under my desk (BG2 and Empire Earth boxes)

ps. how sad am I, those 2 name2 were a guess but I just checked and I was right
lol

A true gamer would never throw out the box... unless the game really sucks and then it's okay. But I tend to keep the boxes anyway. It's funny to look back at that Tomb Raider 2 box and remember how dumb I was for actually buying that game :D

I always keep then because if I get really bored with them I take them in and trade for other games. And I like to line them up on my self. ;)

I keep all video games boxes until...

1) My mom decides that the house to too small and my "useless boxes" are taking up space and throws them away while I am at school.

2) They become smashed until they look so bad they are asking me to put them out of their misery.

I even have all my console boxes all the ay back to the golden age of the NES. Ah, the memories of my childhood. They remind me much of my teenage years... playing video games and watching cartoons ;)

I always have kept them and always will. (even when I'm old like larry :D ) (joking larry don't kill me!!!)

I keep them, although I had to clear an entire bookshelf of books, because they look far more impressive than books (even if their content is worse than those of books). The downside of doing this is, that anyone who enters my room almost instantly notices how much money I spend on games. The DVD cases of newer games take far less space, but I don't like them them, because they are far less attractive and impressive.
