Original XBox Replacement Game Cases

Post by broken harbour »

Its easy to find deals on the Xbox/PS2 generation, especially if the game case is beat up, but where are you guys getting replacement game cases for original XBox games? Its easy to find new PS2, Wii, PS1/DC Jewel cases, and even GC game cases out there, but I'm having a hell of a time finding ones for Xbox. Lots of 360 cases out there but they are a little different, the wrong green, and translucent.

I used to see green DVD-style cases all the time at random computer shops, and this was way before the 360 came out so I'm pretty sure they were the more opaque type that were used for OG XBox games.

Maybe just look for some cheap old super-common XBox games?

The problem is that most of those old sports games tend to have really wrecked boxes, because apparently Madden players don't take care of their stuff.... even that ebay listing is pretty rough.

Maybe I should just do what I do for saturn games and look for old sealed sports games or something.

Sadly they don't ship to canada. I hate that, international shipping is a piece of cake.

What are you looking to pay for cases? There's a pawn shop I go to where I buy PS2 and Xbox games for $2 a piece, and they have a ton of sports games in the rack, most of which have cases still in reasonably good shape. I'd be willing to buy some of the blanks and/or sports games, or games with no manuals, etc. to get cases and resell to you at cost + shipping, if you wanted to go that route. PM me if you have any interest in that.

Way more money though... then again, $40 to replace all my cases and make my whole Xbox collection look minty and new? That's not so bad.
