Game packaging

Brand new Alice: Madness Returns lacked an instruction manual which annoyed me for some reason. It was only accessible when you put the game on.

If I'm buying second hand games, I hate seeing broken cases. A lot of my games (including PS2, ancient PC games and PS1 games) are near enough in mint condition, albeit the odd bit of wear and tear, as is expected, maybe even the odd crack. Also considering that there are five in my family and we were all 4-8 when we played these games all the time. Anyroad, they're all still in in really good condition, even if any of us had accidentally stood on them. I don't understand how in the world an entire chunk could be broken off of a PS3 game case.

Stickers on games don't tend to bother me and sometimes I would just leave them there although, yeah, I hate it whenever I decide to peel them off and it either leaves sticky residue or I've been unsuccessful in taking it off and at least half of the sticker itself is left.

This is the worst of all though:

It is totally an issue. If you use that game box a lot, always taking the games out and putting them back in those thin little plastic supports in the wheel of removed plastic begin to break. Then if one of those breaks, it starts scratching the disk. You don't have to throw the game box or stomp on this for it to happen, just switch games a lot.

Again they only break if you are extremely rough with them. I have tons of blue-rays with those and they are thinner then the 360 cases and I have never once had one break. If you use the slightest bit of care when taking the game out they will not break.

Agreed entirely. In fact, the only game that I own that is like this, is a preowned game that only cost me £3.99. Wonder why, lol.

Games that come in cardboard sleeves, my mild OCD forbids me from throwing them away, but they are such a pain in the arse to keep taking off [fortunately the only one I have is Borderlands, so as you can imagine, I rarely encounter this problem]

I quite like the new xbox 360 classics look, but the old ones are horrid, I'm looking at my Condemned and Saints Row 2 classic, and they stick out with their horrible cheap green/grey ness and nasty look.

I also hate covers where the spine is just plain white, with text for the game's title. Show some creativity please!

Stickers irk me too, except the ones you get on the side of the case that you have to break to open, I love those things and keep them on.

You can easily get rid of any residue from stickers. Just use some pure alcohol or preferably turpentine.

I don't buy games that don't look like what I ordered, since they lawfully forced to do so.
