Sega Saturn/Playstation longbox plastic cases

Post by ac_slatercore »

Does anybody know where I can find longbox cases? I've got a few broken hinges and I want to replace them. I check Ebay from time to time but I want another option.

At this point you might as well modify them for dvd cases *sigh*

Couldn't you just buy a bunch of cheap 1 cent games nobody wants from and replace the inserts? Or will the shipping be too much?

Yea, I get real funny about my games too. Like trying to have them in the original cases and stuff like that. Many times when I get an inexpensive game from Gamestop they might just have the disk only that came in the long box format (Novastorm, Raiden Project, etc).

What I do it convert everything to a standard jewel case. Print off a cover: http://www.psxa2z.com/ has kick ass high rez jpegs of most PSone game covers - they convert long box covers into the smaller format for thier images, then recreate the spine label by photocoping the spine and printing off the game name and sticking it over the existing name.

A lot of work but better than having a bunch of random disks with no real cases. But if you allready have the long case this won't help.

The long black plastic cases are 100 times more durable than the clear jewel style ones as you know. My Viewpoint copy has a broken edge but I decided to leave it go. One, the game kind sucks and two, I figured I should leave it in the original case.
