I own four of those exact shelving units and use them for NES and Xbox360.

They're great because they're so versatile.  They accommodate nearly any kind of game nicely (loose NES games, CIB NES, PS, DC, games in DVD cases, etc.)

I have five of them now, one for games that I just picked up and four for DVDs/blu-rays.  I love these shelves!

Here's a pic of my 3 DVD shelves.  I also have one for blu-rays.

Oh, I also got one of these, which are excellent for storing your game library because the shelves are easily adjustable to fit NES/CD height and/or DVD-height games.  I've been scouring CL for months looking for one.  I'm too cheap to spend $35-$40 to get a new one.  Paid $8 for the one I found:

nice!  where would i go if i wanted a new one?  $35 isn't terrible considering how expensive shelving can be

I've found them in various places.  Once at ShopKo (regional big box store), once at Big Lots.  The last one I bought was from Wal-Mart because I just couldn't find them anywhere else (I do not like Walmart, so that was hard for me ) They still carry this one for $35 and you can ship it to the store to avoid shipping costs -- http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sauder-O-Sullivan-Multimedia-Storage-Tower-Cinnamon-Cherry/13044874

Got TimeSplitters 2 (XBox). Been looking for this game forever, I'm glad that I found it. I have to clean the fingerprints off of it though. I got it in Kissimmee, Florida (I live in London, Ontario).

Yeah, I'm glad they are, though I was extremely disappointed when they cancelled TS4.

From a local garage sale, the mom was selling her son's collection. The lady was tough, but haggling worked.

[foxhack]

... jesus christ, why was she selling that?!

[soera]

Gah both the Oracle games in box. I cant seem to find those anywhere for a decent price, much less boxed. Those are the last 2 Zelda games I want.
