subject: Video Game Storage Faq [print this page] This article contains answers to the most frequent questions people ask me about video game storage. Let's start with the question, which is usually asked by people who don't have it:
1. Why do I need video game storage?
If you have a lot of boxes with video games, you definitely need a place to store them. If games are scattered everywhere in your house, they can easily get lost or damaged. For example, if your game is lying on the floor, a dog or a little child can break it. Even if you don"t have dogs and kids, your games are still in danger, because an adult can suddenly step on them. Not to mention that it will be hard for you to find your games when you need them. Video game storage will solve all this problems, that"s why you need it.
2. Ok, I have understood the importance of video game storage. What kinds of storages can I use?
There are several options available for you. You can order a storage system that was designed especially for storing games. Or you can use a simple bookcase, which can be used not only for storing books, but also for computer games and any other media. Another simple and cheap solution is a CD Wallet.
3. How can I use a bookcase to store my video games?
It"s simple. Just put your games in it. Extremely obvious solution, isn"t it? A bookcase can be found in almost every house, because everyone has books, so you probably have it already. If you don"t, it won"t be a problem for you to buy one.
4. Where can I buy a bookcase for my video games?
You can buy a bookcase in the nearest furniture shop. You will be able to find bookcases of all sizes there. If you don"t have a lot of free space in your house or don"t have much CDs, you"ll probably want to buy a small bookcase that will contain all your CDs while not taking up much space. If the amount of CDs you have is very big, you can buy a taller bookcase that will contain all of them.
5. I don"t like the bookcase idea. Are there any other options?
Of course! The bookcase is not the only solution. If you don"t like it, there are some solutions that were developed especially for storing video games. Take a look at video game storage racks and cabinets. There is also a cheap solution that doesn"t involve buying a piece of furniture: throw the boxes of your discs away and store them in a CD wallet.
6. Can a CD wallet be as good storage of video games as bookcases, cabinets, and racks?
Yes, this solution is extremely easy and cheap. A CD wallet that holds 250 game discs requires much less space than 250 DVD-sized disk cases. This method of storing video games has only one disadvantage. If you decide to sell your games after a period of time, you won"t be able to earn much money without original boxes. But if you store original cd boxes in your basement or attic instead of throwing them out, you will not face this problem.
