What do you do with your big PC game boxes? Not the new DVD style. But the useless old huge cardboard ones that serve practically no purpose other than to take up shelf space. Do you throw them out or keep them?

I have a shit load. And they're taking up space. i was thinking of throwing them out.

Meh. I just toss them out. But at the same time I've seen some pretty fantastic artwork on game packaging.

Maybe it's just all about aesthetics. I dunno.

Depends on whether I want to flog it for a few bucks at some second hand store after I've finished playing it.

$10 back is better than keeping a game I probably won't install again. Unless there's a good chance an expansion pack is going to be released for it at a later date.

I throw out some. I've got a huge pile of old games still in my cupboard.

Still can't find The Dig though. :(

They still sell games in the big cardboard boxes? :confused:

The only box I have is the Neverwinter Nights box. And that baby is not going anywhere.

Ins0mniac, meet Sigmund Freud.

I'm sure the two of you have a lot to talk about, so i'll leave you alone.

Just did a big clean out of boxes, chucked em all.

My reason for quotage is to say that The Dig rocks. One of the best games ever.

I keep them... not that I've bought any in ages...

But they make me feel all special looking at the pretty boxes in the cupboard.
