    Hi All,

    Ive been trying to locate DVD covers to print for my XBLA games.. I know there is no real purpose and you are probably asking why but Im a bit OCD and would like my downloaded games to be represented in my xbox retail game collection

    Thanks!

    Check GiantBomb's image galleries, I see most XBLA games have fake boxart, probably not big enough to fit on a DVD case, but you could blow them up a little.

    Are you going to go all out and get orange DVD cases too?

    ...now I have a mild form of this (you try finding a green DVD box with a second tray for any kind of reasonable money sometime)... but I don't know that I'd go for this level (though I like the orange box idea!)...

    This brings up questions though... What goes on the back (maybe just dupe the front)? Though really (unless you've got a really odd way of displaying your collection), it's not the front or back that's important, it's the spine -- which you get to make yourself...

    Though the biggest question of all is: what do you put in the box? Do you buy a usb drive for each arcade game or do you leave them empty?

    Whoa, wait... Orange box? Xbox games are in green boxes? Am I completely missing something despite playing tons of XBLA games in the past?

    @believer258: Eh, I think it's a newer thing that the orange is more prevalent. The covers all have orange and the likes, so it makes a lot of sense.

    Actually while I'm on it, Xbox LIVE is orange, so there's a big factor there.

    My compulsive side wants to buy a USB stick for each game so "something" goes in the box.... but I dont want it rattling around. Spine and front cover are what Im after. Ive been searching around giant bomb ( new here) and the database is AMAZING!!!!! now i need to get handy with photoshop or some other tool.

    If anyone has done this before any suggestions are appreciated!

    @ez3c: Throw out a list of the games you need, and I'll help you out. What are the sizes of images you would like, also?

    Out of curiosity, how many XBLA games do you have? After some quick searching it'd cost me at least a couple of hundred dollars for cases, printing, and another shelving unit. I can't even imagine how many hours it'd take to put it all together.

    It is OCD, but I like the idea.

    @ez3c: Well, with your list, I have finished up on the covers. I'm sorry that some are small, but it's the best I could do.

    Also, if anyone else wants some sort of XBLA box art, or something that they want, feel free to ask. I'm not saying I'm great at it, but I don't mind trying.

    Forgive the delay in my reply. As a new user, Im limited to 5 posts per day.

    Baillie did fantastic work! The really turned out awesome.

    I decided to not use the orange slim dvd covers as It would make creating the spine harder for me. I have several black cases which will work for now until I order standard clear orange cases. When I get home from work and get a few completed, I'll post images.

    Thanks again everyone!!!!!
