Anywhere To Buy Xbox/ps2/gc Game Boxes?

So I buy used games now and then (I generally prefer to support the studios and buy new, but on hard-to-find games I'll sometimes settle for used <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->). However, they've always got 80000 labels tacked onto them, the outer case is wrinkled and torn, there's cracks on the inside of the case, or what have you.

Seeing as I'm a neurotic fool who likes to keep all his game boxes in pristine condition, do any of you know of any place that sells the cases for console games? It'd be great to have a few of each type on hand to swap out for the crap cases I've already got and will get in the future.

    Are they not just standard DVD boxes where you are in the world? That's what they're like in the UK.

    Standard DVD boxes would be rather easy to find, I suspect.

    Well, they kinda are and kinda aren't. Gamecube and PS2 boxes also include little memory card holders, and xbox cases are kooky green. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> Not to mention that the Gamecube is that crazy mini-size, so a regular dvd case probably wouldn't work well for that, either.

    And I'm neurotic. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Damn, I used to know of a site that sold all kinds of crazy DVD cases for pretty cheap. If I find it again I'll let you know. My GITS:SAC dvd from best buy had a messed up case cause they put stickers on it :X :X **** me off.

    [edit]
    Found it!

    <a href='http://www.redoctane.com/gamecase.html' target='_blank'>Red Octane Game Replacement Packs</a>
    $4.95 - 3 Pack
    $14.95 - 10 Pack
    $34.95 - 30 Pack
    Pick between X-Box, Gamecube, and PS2 (same price)


    If that's a bit too pricey for you (it certainly is for me) then check out <a href='http://www.inetdvd.com/' target='_blank'>inetdvd</a>, who has tons of DVD cases for dirt cheap.
    <a href='http://www.inetdvd.com/store/tmp_product_new2003.asp?id=4823' target='_blank'>This case</a> would work as a great PS2 game replacement case, and <a href='http://www.inetdvd.com/store/tmp_product_new2003.asp?id=5490' target='_blank'>this one</a> would be close enought for X-Box games. At $.60 each they are very reasonably priced. :P
    I think I'm gonna get their "OMG WTH DUDE" <a href='http://www.inetdvd.com/store/tmp_product_new2003.asp?id=16208' target='_blank'>5 DVD case</a>. The Amaray cases are typically the ones that come w/ most movies.


    On a side note, I found <a href='http://www.pcextreme.biz/productdescription.asp?sku=ps2-01' target='_blank'>the</a> <a href='http://www.pcextreme.biz/productdescription.asp?sku=ps2-02' target='_blank'>coolest</a> <a href='http://www.pcextreme.biz/productdescription.asp?sku=ps2-03' target='_blank'>thing</a> for PS2s. I think I'm gonna get the clear one.

    Also I found a site for <a href='http://www.xboxrepairguide.com/index.php/cPath/28_35' target='_blank'>spare gamecube parts</a>. Anyone need a Gamecube motherboard?

    [edit2]
    Screw that, I found a DVD case that holds <a href='http://www.american-digital.com/prodsite/product.asp?p=1420&c=186&name=Black6DVDM-LockCase' target='_blank'>SIX DVDs for $.99</a>. :D

    <a href='http://www.american-digital.com' target='_blank'>American Digital</a> seems to be a bit cheaper than inetdvd is...
