Wouldn't it be nice: New cardboard system boxes to store our old systems?

I wouldn't mind a repro box for a few systems I have.

[Jibbajaba]

My systems are all vacuum-sealed (with a Food Saver) in anti-static bags, which are then wrapped with bubble wrap.  I have them tightly packed in a lead-lined waterproof Pelican trunk, and buried in an undisclosed location in the back yard.  I only play games via emulation, but I do so sparingly because I worry about my ROMs getting bit-rot from overuse.  Mostly I just watch "Let's Play" videos on YouTube.

Heh, jibba wins the thread.

That my friend would be (censored) awesome. As long they cost less than the original ones I'd get them as decoration piece.

If boxed systems weren't readily available that would be one thing. I'd rather take the money I'd spend on a repro box, throw in a few more dollars and get the real thing.

It would be funny to see how many more boxed, like new systems show up on eBay.

At first I was all "guy takes it to far"........

then I read about the buring it and bit-rot from overuse of a ROM file and you had me in histerics......

Although I was going to state why even bother making repro cardboard boxes?  Make them out of something more durable if we are just talking storage and keeping things in better condition?

I still have boxes for my turbo Dreamcast and mega drive.

Yup

I use bubblewrap and large tupperware bins to store my unused consoles because South Florida is a disgusting swamp.

We get nasty sweltering, humid summers here n NJ, too. HOWEVER, this past summer was gorgeous. I loved it.

I USE THE BINS BECAUSE MY SUMP PUMP MAY FAIL. BASEMENT MIGHT FLOOD.

Yay.
