I take great care of my games. None have scratches unless I bought them used. I get so annoyed when I buy a used game and it has scratches on it. Makes me wonder what all these people do with the games to get them that way! I mean it isn't hard to keep your games in good condition.
I keep everything in good condition. My textbooks are in good shape, My laptop looks good, My cell phone looks good, my pillow looks good. Ofcourse my games look great too however I like to lend my games and sometimes the person looses the manual or some games come in a cardboard case and they happen to return the game without the cardboard box and I get upset -.- like.. what the hell? is it so hard not to loose something or break it that can't even move! ?
I used to abuse my Gamecube and Xbox games but once I got my PlayStation 2 that all changed. I leant out my copy of nfs: carbon to a bud of mine and they returned it a couple of weeks later with a giant gash in the case plastic and the disk was a little scratched up from coastering. I'll still lend them my games though, it's better to share then being stuck up over a plastic disk. :)
Yeah, I do. I always take care of my games. I always put the discs back into the game cases and put them back on the shelf. All of my games are in alphabeltical order, so I can keep track of them and get them out easier. It irritates me when I walk into someone's game room and see their discs literally all over the floor and not in their game cases, not where they are supposed to be. It's sad!
I try to but my ******* brother feels compelled to wipe his palms all over my discs and just leave them wherever the hell he wants.
In fact I recall when he was like four I caught himsliding on the floor with two DVD's on his feet as if they were ****** rollerskates!!
I keep my games all in theyr original boxes. Always. Though i don't have many retail games really, mostly just steam releases. But i have some retail PC games and around 10 PS3/PS2 titles. I always put discc back to original box when removing it from my system.
At worse, I used to leave games in the console (PS2, GameCube) but ever since these new generation consoles arrived and started having problems with overheating and disc getting stuck in the console, it just became 2nd nature to eject the disc and put it back in the case once I'm done playing. Even with big maps like in GTA games, I might look at it but fold it up and place it back in the case.
Yea people are weird with games, or just discs in general. I rememeber when i would rent games that had crazy amount of scratches on them, or didnt work, or had no instructions. Same thing for used games. I always wondered what the hell people do with these things. Everything i own is 100% mint condition.
People need to realize discs are very, very sensitive. One scratch could be the end of that disc.People these days just throw their discs around like frisbies, leave them upside down laying out in the open, on their tables/floors, put their hand & their fingers all over the discs. In generall they show these things no repect & have asbolutely know idea how to take care of things.
I tend to take really good care of my games yeah, I dislike scratches and such.
Games are relatively expencive and I always buy my games new. So it annoys me to no end if one of them breaks.
I am no person with alot of order in my life tho, while the games are in a shelf they are rarely sorted, just, I want them to be as mint as can be inside the case, manual, disk and what else.
I agree. It's annoying to check out the used section and find that so many discs are scratched up. I always ask to see the disc before buying anything used and I try to find a case in good condition before that. All of my games are in like-new condition, with a couple exceptions. The only time they ever wind up with a scratch or other flaw is when I let someone borrow a game - which I don't do anymore since someone brought back Gears of War basically trashed(broken case/scratches on disc).
I don't understand it either. All my games are in immaculate condition, and baffles me how people treat their games. Especially PSP games. The disc is actually in a case, yetyou see scratches and fingermarks :|

Yeah that always puzzled me,
I take freaking good care of my games, all super neat on shelves and I never touch bottoms side of the disk with my fingers.I'm really gentle with my cartrige games too, NES games are always in dust sleeves, same for SNES and N64 goes in nice bag and my genesis games are all in there original boxes with there manuals.
My buddy is a pig. His house is trashed. He don't take care of anything. His games have cigarette ashes and pop spilt all over them. He bought a brand new tv a few months ago and it's trashed. Full of dust and cigarette smoke. Somehow he has pop on his tv screen. The dust is so thick you could draw a painting on it. He has food sitting in bowls on his counter that have been there for a month.
He wanted to borrow some of my games. I made him keep them in baggies.
I purchase 90% of my games new at $60 and keep them mint. I really only let one friend borrow a game at a time. Once he returned a game with wear and tear around the case making it look a little rugged. He denied any wrong doing, but now when I lend him a title he gets the disc in a generic DVD case.:D Thats how anal I am.
My games are my precious shinies. My babies. My beautiful little friends. I care for them in gentle and loving ways.ChiliDragon
Yep, that pretty much sums it up for me too:)
I am quite OCD about my games really, i always try to keep them mint and order them alphabetically by generation/console etc. I cannot understand people who just trash them.
it even bugged me figuring out where dark souls should go on my shelf, before or after demons souls?

I'd put it after Demon Souls since it's a sequel. Chronological order always trumps alphabetical order. :D
Yeah I'm kind of OCD about taking care of them as well. In fact I always even wash my hands before touching them. Though you might find some small scratches on some of my older games. I got more obsessed lately then I was before the current gen consoles came out, but they are all still in good condition.
However, I do buy some games used, and some of them have some pretty major scratches, and many don't include the manual.
I take great care of each game, its case included. You'd be hard pressed to find a single scratch on even one of my 60 some odd PS3 games. I would never let anybody else handle my games or consoles or controllers. I also refuse to buy used because it's just better to have a brand new perfect condition copy of the game. I NEVER touch either side of the disc, I always hold the disc by the edges. The instruction manuals for my games are in perfect condiction as well.
I'm also OCD 110% of the time with my games. I almost never buy them used unless I really wanted that title. I have bought a few used PS2 games last year that I never got around playing (Red Faction, Twisted Metal Black, Killzone, Smuggler's Run, Project Snowblind), so far I've been lucky enough to have the manuals included, the case and cover art perfectly intact and the discs are barely scratched, all in excellent condition.
