I know this has been discussed a lot, but I've read somewhere that you shouldn't store your, say, PS2 cases "too tight" on the shelves, leave a little "air" so to speak between boxes, as they might get too pressed and break. Any truth to that? I have my PS2 games in a bookshelf, and I make sure they don't stand too compressed on each shelf. However, there would be room for a few more games if I pressed them in on each shelf... |

I don’t know if PS2 is any different than any other cases, but my rule is to keep my games snug at the worst , never tight . If you can pull a single game out without pulling out others with it, it’s probably okay. I know some DVD cases were made out of flimsy brittle plastic and even those do fine snug on a shelf. |

Currently I have 50 games pr shelf, and I like that even number :p But I can fit in one more game, but then they'll just be tight and when I pull out a game, one or two more follows. |

Certainly the number of cases per shelf is very important to the equation . The more cases you have on a shelf , the easier is to get them in too tight so keep that in mind too . |

Yeah I never keep my games too tightly packed on a shelf. If you do, over time you will scuff the outer plastic on the case, causing it lose that shiny fresh out the shrink wrap feeling, you know what I mean. I always allow for just enough wiggle room between each so to say, but never too lose where there not standing up nicely. I also never stack games vertically if I can avoid it, as this is the easiest way to put dents into your case artwork. |
