Anyone know where to buy replacement game cases?

[HephaestusJones]

Hello there everyone. I love collecting CEs but I also love collecting games in general. Unfortunately lately money has been tied up in other things so I've started buying used which is a necessity for saving plus trying to find brand new copies of older or rarer games over here in US is an exercise in futility

Anyway if you're vigilant used games tend to actually be in rather decent condition. The discs, manuals and cover art slips for me so far have been in pretty good shape. It's the cases that take the beatings most of time

This is a problem for me since I like to display both my CEs and my regular games together. So does anyone know where to buy replacements? I'm primarily looking for Xbox 360 game cases but it couldn't hurt to know about cases for other systems. Also I'm looking for official cases or unofficial ones that look just like official ones (tongue twister ).

I generally go to my local video store and they have most cases for all formats sitting in their storeroom or in the bin. I'm lucky that I know the lady who owns the store pretty well and I normally get cases from her for free.

So, perhaps try your local video store and ask them, you may get them for free or pay under a dollar or something like that.

Shit, video stores are still a thing? Thanks for the advice but now I have to hunt one down

I buy copies of Fifa 08 for 50p and then use the case off them.

Yes you can do what james said, although i dont really care about condition of normal game cases. I must say ps3 game cases scratch very very easy.

I have seen some ebay seller a while ago selling official ps3 blu ray cases though.

That is very true, PS3 cases scratch very easily but that's not what bothers me. What bothers me is the extensive damage on used cases. They look like they've been to hell and back which makes them kind of an eyesore (to me anyway). The other problem is that right now I need at least 3 Xbox 360 cases. I'm good for PS3.
