[QUOTE="MicroByter"]I could probably have more, but It's harder to buy games at GS since I buy only games with the actual cover art and instruction manuals. Any one else do the same? deejaypsp
Same here. At the normal strip mall stores I don't run into a huge problem with missing art or manuals, but in the mall stores it is very bad. Almost none of the game are original. I even go so far as to not buy a game if it has a MMR shell and not the original white one. But then again, I am a collector and probably a little more anal then the typical buyer.
Same way, right here. No original case, no instructions, and if either look like they've been chewed up by a toddler with ADHD, I'll pass...
I agree. The other pet peeve are when they have the full case and everything, but stick the label to the spine of the cover art itself! I can get most off, but on older games, forget it!
Awesome! Picked up another 2 at lunch today since GS has a trade in deal towards any pre-owned games and get a 50% bump. Up to an even 50 now. It's funny, I downloaded an App for my iPod Touch called iCollect Games which tracks owned or wish listed games and found that I still have 55 games on my Wish List! Yikes!

Playing Gran Turismo again, such a anunderappreciated game.
Here is my current collection. I'm up to 48 games now. Been rebuilding it after my PSP Go fiasco... i.e. - buying into Sony's propaganda about the PSN...
I actually have cases for all of my portables and they work great to protect the actual unit from scratches and dents when I put them in my work bag. Since the XL is a little too big for the pockets, I'm going to need a good case for my work bag and the PDP one seems to work perfectly.
For those interested in a carrying case for the forthcoming, new DSi XL, here are some impressions of 2 available today from Gamestop. DSi XL Ultimate Case - BD&A (Burgundy/White/Black) $14.99 http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=77072 I bought this case initially as it was the cheaper of the two and offered more storage room for came cards as well as the stylus and charger. The case version I purchased was black, but also comes in burgundy and white. The case itself feels like a hardshell case so won't bend and remains stiff at all times. The DSi Xl sits ina compartment underneath a flap which velcro's down to secure the system. On the opposite side of the flap are slots for game cards to slid into. The case is definitely sturdy and offers, what feels to be, good protection for the DSi XL. This is not a small case and the fact that it's so big could be a detriment. I actually returned this case because of the bulk and width of the case. The fact that the case is so sturdy also caused it to not fit so well into my work bag, so I returned it for DSi XL Power Pack case. DSi XL Power Pack - PDP (Black) $19.99 http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=77074 This is my replacement case to the Ultimate case. It comes in black only, but also comes with a car charger which is a bonus. The case is made of soft material and very reminisent DSi System Wallet if you've ever seen that. DSi System Wallet - http://powera.com/images/prod_images/075094_m.jpg A faux leather flap folds over and velcros the case opening to secure the system. The case seems to be very well made and is very soft on the inside so it should prevent the DSi XL from being scratched up. The case also has slots for 3 game cards as well as holding a regular and the pen like styli. This is my case of choice as I loved my DSi System Wallet and thought that was one of the best designed cases. This is as close to that option as available right now. The case seems very compact and fits well into my bag. I can actually fit this one into my pocket although it looks like I am carrying a small novel. I hope this helped others that might be interested in a case for their new system come March 28th. Please let me know if I can answer any questions! :)
