If a game didn’t come in a case, only a box like GBA games, I don’t mind so much since I usually threw the boxes away as to not have so much clutter. And by sharing games I saved money for new ones by not buying my own food and my friends could never bring themselves to drop as much money as I do in games, so it creates this nice win-win system.

@Jink all I do at work is read people’s tweets, it’s a great way to pass the time.

Relax guys, that was the one I have the biggest issues with as well. Thinking logically one can understand that these items are useless, but our desires override that logic. Still, the more we can do the better right?

I admit I was a tad disappointed when I got Shiren the Wanderer DS with no case, or manual. But I truly don’t mind now, since the game is so tiny and insignificant it seems silly.

I like your sharing story Kabling, it made me want lunch.

I’m with Jink. For collectors and people with OCD (like me!), all the extra crap is a must. Though most of my electronics are on the same power strip and it’s usually off. Also letting people borrow my games is always something I’ve done, and I usually just ask for them to pay for lunch in return.

Haha, I didn’t think anyone actually read my tweets. And wasn’t expecting Will Smith at the header. As for conserving… my PS2 has been in stand-by for the past two years.

Also, I DO need the crap that comes with pre-orders. And I also do need the box and manual for all my games. It’s part of being an obsessive collector. I can never pass up a “collector’s edition” of a game.

The Earf is great and all Roy. But I’m not following this list dammit! I might unplug my PS2 though, for Mother Earf.
