Not really. They're fragile, take up WAY more space than other PS games, a good number are too exposed to shelfware upon being removed from their shrinkwrap.

It was a novelty used to compete w/ US Saturn/SegaCD games that rightfully went away after the first 18 or so months.

That's funny, I absolutely love the long boxes, especially the ones w/ extra artwork on the inside of the case (like Resident Evil). I can understand the space issue, and the fact that the glue wears out and it starts peeling, AND that it gets shelfwear too easily but still... they look bad ass.

Yeah, but it gives us another clear subset to collect like the Black Boxes of NES. I thought I was going to go for a full set myself, but I've taken a long break after I got about halfway there.

But yes, if you care about condition, you'll swap out plenty of the longbox cases over time. It seems like at least 50% of the hinged longboxes I buy always arrive cracked or with broken hinges. Better to have a placeholder than nothing, but I definitely upgrade when I get a dupe.

Find sleeves, use scissors.
