I'm just curious about this, guys. Do you keep your console boxes? I tend to hold on to mine, at least for about a year.

I keep all of them and I'm running out of room thanks to the huge PS5 and PSVR2 boxes. I'm seriously considering dumping those, though.

I keep the packaging for all the systems I buy for as long as I have the systems. Got several of my older systems back in their boxes and put away.

I used to, but a couple years ago I was looking at the box my Wii came in and started thinking to myself, "what the fuck am I even keeping this for?" I don't store them in the boxes. Ultimately they just take up space. So this time around, when I bought the PS5, the only reason the box hung around for a week is because I was too lazy to take it to the garbage can outside.

I kept them all and wonder why. Guess I'll sell a boxed N64 someday.

CIB consoles do have a much higher resell value. I always enjoyed looking at them as their own pieces of art too. This Genesis box is still my favorite of on system boxes:

Yeah, I really enjoy the box art of some of the systems. Feel that it’s part of the system. I also just find it a much more convenient and organized way to store old systems.

Yes. And when I sell them as CIB it will be worth it. I've sold a few handhelds CIB and that 70 cent cardboard box has added hundreds of dollars of value. I even keep the plastic, twist ties and everything else that came with it.  I still have Atari warranty cards.

I;d really like Travo's view on AI generated art, but would not want it wasted in an ephemeral news post. It would deserve a post in the off topic -- or if you are inspired I'd put it up on game under.

Why do you think they're hiring in the graphics department?

It should say Xbox graphics are firing.

That's exactly how I get other people to see all the porn.

I'm happy just staring at the windows logo.

BBC Sucks... Um... Well 

Oh my lord, what a cluster fuck.

Also goes to show the young ones who set it up don't get physical media. I've been asked by my nephew's before, what's a DVD?

And had to explain life before streaming.

I bought Blacksad on Switch, using Switch 2 BC to play it.

On Switch it was a basically unplayable technical mess.

Switch 2 BC fixes everything, without needing a patch. It always irked me I couldn't play a good adventure game that I would enjoy.

And its only £2.30 or something.

Yeah, kids today have no idea on waiting for something to be on TV or the radio. Or waiting for anything.  Mine comes to me and says, "Can you print me a wordsearch for 7-year-olds that is soccer related?" Yeah sure... which of these 40 options do you want?

When I was a boy... yes yes I know... we had two channels on TV and you had to get up to change the channel. It was an innovation when we figured out how to record FM radio onto audio cassettes so we could (in some small way) choose to listen to what we wanted.

I used to record radio shows onto cassettes.

But... you had 2 channels??

Now I feel spoiled with a whopping 4 channels growing up.

I've rounded up and posted pics of all the awesome artwork on the Nintendo today app I've seen so far.

Check the forums.

Good for phone screen savers.

We had 3.5 TV channels growing up. The .5 channel would some in snowy or not at all; on random days when the stars aligned just right, it would come in clear ... about 3 days a year, lol.
