These are the best i've found. They fit both Blurays and dvds because the sticky part is on the flap. Others have it on the back, which is okay too but it only fits the size you buy it for. also these are just wide enough to fit steelbooks snuggly. I got 200+games wrapped. Dont know how i let my covers get scratched from regular shelf wear all this time.

Three if you count the binding of isaac port.

You can play hyrule legends on a regular 3ds but it drops to like 10 frames per second.

Well that's a given considering their procurement didn't cost me at all, and it's not like I can't simply pass off the games on a usb stick, but the whole fucking point is moot because they can download the fucking thing themselves anyway.

>>333400419
>Poorfag logic

I don't see where my logic went wrong.
There's only 3 additional games for it and they're all ports. Why the fuck would I bother playing something like xenoblade on a tiny ass screen when I can play it through Dolphin or on My Wii?

your welcome, these changed my life. I ended up buying liners for my PS1 disc cases, and some that fit GBA, 3Ds and psp. Search for OPP bags on google or liners if you need more. Check with Steelbook Central first though, ive been most impressed with their liners. Some have shitty glue, some tear easily and some arent big enough to fit steelbooks.

Indeed, with the direction games are going the only ones who can actually still fully appreciate and enjoy our hobby in due time are those who pirate. Or you want to put up with bullshit business practices and retarded inflated retro prices if you so desire. But buyfags will always get fucked over at some point.
>>
>>333402246
I'm surprised very few say this.

I prefer physical games because I like the feeling of having a shelf full of game copies more than a list of games on my computer or console.

Game shelves are a novelty, (per lack of better word,) And I feel more like the collection is 'mine.'

>>333402439
I never heard of such an 'issue' until recently. I still have 10+ year old game disks I use with no problem.
