This is fascinating.. enough to where I decided to put it on here. While my brother was staying with the family for the holidays, he had bought a game and disposed of the box. I have always saved my boxes, but I don't really know why; and now that I think about it, there really was no reason for me to keep them. So what do you do with them?

I've been saving them since day 1, but it's becoming a bit of a problem right now. I'm gonna need a bigger house, maybe i'll build one with all the boxes i have piled up.

I keep mine. I just got the NWN collector's edition, and the box is pretty cool, so I'm definitely keeping this one. Besides, it can be a nice way to store your games if you have nothing else.

Where do you keep the games out of boxes? Now that most games come in the DVD cases. I make special sure to keep collectors boxes.

We keep them. I think they look nice all lined up on the shelf. They're only really decorative though, the CDs are kept in a CD holder. They still have the manuals in them I suppose. And the registration cards lol

I keep them so IF my game happens to be destroyed by some odd circumstances such as your 3 yo brother, you can look at the pretty pictures and feel bad that you cant play it anymore.

My wife cuts the cover picture and system requirements off then puts them in a file cabinet with the relevant literature. It is nice and convenient when you go back to an old game.
