  • do you can resale the covers? because some people like to buy them even if they are a bit damaged

  • @hellmasterx

    I only replace covers that are severely damaged and do not meet the standard for resale.

  • I man I saw your video about covers but when I was looking for genesis and saturn covers It didn't have any cover for those two systems do you know another place where I can find covers for them. I have a couple of games which need or didn't had covers at the time that I bought them. Keep the good work showing us how to clean and keeping our consoles running.

  • Wow... im watching your videos and I can see that you clearly care about the customers and the quality of the products your selling... Wow... Great Job!

  • when I used this the pics came out too big- but i could subtely trim it down with no noticing.... oh yeah, And "gitaroo man" in particular comes out blurry (even in the front cover- I don't know why) However, I find that this site is useful especially since I sometimes will save a couple of buck by just buying the disc alone (ie: gitaroo man with instruction and case 45 without 27, Klonoa 60 without 24)

  • @sayastra

    There are programs you can use that will make them fit perfectly. I use a program called "Expressit" :)

  • @L1Games thx- I just trim them down and you can't really tell the different with they get into the case.

  • @L1Games but they do have a better upload of gitaroo man now.

  • @L1Games either way this has been a very useful tip! Thank you kindly!

  • @L1Games lol wheres your store at

  • Hey thanks for this :)

    I'll probably do this for my Prince of Persia game (PS3) and some of my partner's games :)

    BTW I dunno whether you've heard this or not but for Prince of Persia (PS3/360) you have to pay Ubisoft an extra $10 just to get the full game... like wtf --_--

  • what do you use so that the paper is in the right dimensions? ive tried this twice and the paper was either too wide or too tall

  • props man this gonna help me trade in my games, thanks

  • Is this for free?

  • how do you use expressit whenever i get a covers from cdcovers,cc on expressit it dosent set it in the template right

  • @GamerBarney

    you stretch the picture to fit.

  • War of the Monsters is the best game of that era. Raptros all the way!

  • is expressit free

  • what i do is take a game cover which has the game that I don't play any more or is a starter disk cover and replace the cover with the game that I do play..

    Hey man what is the ps3 case called... because i need some and i know their bluray but i can't find the right name for them on the meritline site?

    WAR of teh monsters i loved that game!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • what i do is take a game cover which has the game that I don't play any more or is a starter disk cover and replace the cover with the game that I do play..

  • I got some nice dvd slip covers from them too. However, it should be said that you need a really good printer and the proper inks for it to come out as good as it did for this video. Using normal inks will sometimes make streaks or faded covers which defeat the purpose.

  • Comment removed

  • this is nice. wish more stores did this. only thing is the new cases don't have a memory card space. would be nice if they had it but it's alright i guess. can you buy the ones with memory card space?

  • I couple of months ago I bought the game MAG from gamestop. I grabbed the case from the shelf it was in good condition. Once i payed for the game, I got to my car and drove home. I took out the game out of the bag, the Cover and the Booklet inside were water damaged. So I was like WTF?! I couldnt do anything cuz I didnt want to drive 30 miles again to tell them WTF is up with the cover and booklet.

  • Thanx alot dude because my copy of God of War III some how got wet and now Cover is screwed big time now this way I can get the cover fixed

  • i fucking love war of the monsters!

  • thanks for this helped me w/ 3 inserts.....dam gamestop inserts lol

  • @L1Games do you know where i can get sega satrurn cases?

  • I hope you let your customers know is not an original insert. You know what these crazy collectors are like :)

  • do you ask for an id when a kis is buying a rated m game?

  • @Zechbenne

    Yes I do.

  • Thanks for dropping those links! I appreciate your dedication to making those games shine!

  • What kind of paper do you use, please? Where do you download your covers from? because I've found some with low resolution. Is it better a laser print right? Thanks, man

  • @Kdarkov

    Photo paper (premium)

    I say the site I use in this video. some images arent as good as others.

    I use a nice inkjet photo printer and it works well. but laser would do great too.

  • THANK. YOU. SO. MUCH.

  • That case looks sooo nice!

  • *sniffs*....ahhhh devotion.

  • thanks a ton man the game cases i get from gamestop are in horrible condition

  • wow thats wat i call cool man

  • This is a great video but shouldn't the title be about artwork and not cases?

  • @TheUnbiasedGamer

    Good call, I altered the title to fit everything.

  • @L1Games Kewl. I normally do this stuff when i get a game that's missing artwork. Either or i try to buy the artwork online as long asit's not the same price or more expensive then the game i'm buying.

  • You know gamestop has enough money they could do this but hell no they aint gonna do that

  • i just did this for links crossbow training for wii

    the site had a normal sized cover so now it looks like a legit game instead of a mini throw in game with the zapper

  • YOU ARE TRULY A GAMESTOP KILLER ! wow dude ...... gamestop will not even move finger !

  • Man this was a great n helpful tip man. Thanks for the website. Me and my brother sell merchandise on ebay, and when we sell games we try to replace the box art. Knowing that site now will make things alot easier.

  • hey muzz,i got a question.if i trade in or store credit a psp 1001 in ur store how much do i get?i ask gamestop and they told me they will give a store credit of 35 dollars.but they selling used psp original for 100 bucks,man! thats alot of profit,u think thats right?thanks man,,love ur videos...

  • Thanks this will help me for those cheap games on ebay or from gamestop

  • you have saved that devil may cry's glory ur my hero :'D

  • thanks a lot man your video helped me pick my career between video game design and a video game retail store owner thank pal wish i could have a store like yours.

  • nice trick !

  • nice I wish all game stores did that! it's the small think's like that, that keep me coming back

  • hey bro where do you work at game-stop?

  • @gdogg395 This guy owns his own gamestore in Ohio, called L1 Games

  • @mcrobsesser003

    I've been collecting for nearly 13 years now. the inserts I throw away (not all the games I get in even have them to begin with) are completely worthless.

    as a collector I wouldn't want them in my collection.

  • thanks for the info dude, I been wounder how I could fix up my crappy game case. Other reason why I hate game stop the don't take care of there games.

  • @CloudMeetsSky cdcovers(dot)cc 

  • thanks for the tip ive been looking for a good site for a year now

  • Need links in the description please.

  • What is the size of cover paper?

  • @widowsmaiden1336 paper size

  • GREAT VIDEO. merit line is awsome and i dont have glossy paper, so ill just steal covers from game stop

  • wow, gamestop just uses those shitty cookie cutter covers for their games. you really go the extra step!

  • @DeeperBlueX16 That's what seperates the two, Those little extra things that GameStop just simply does'nt care about :]

  • War of the Monsters! Shit I love that game.

  • is there ps3 covers

  • @1MONKEYFRAN1 check your self dumb ass

  • imagine if there was a way to do this for older games?

  • @cccplt

    TheCoverProject does that for older games and newer games.

  • Links would have been cool.

  • An absoloutley mint game is incredibly satisfying :)

  • Nice tip!

  • OOOOHHH, Shiny!

  • your the man muzz

  • that's actually really cool, nice to see you care enough to do these things for your customers.

  • Thanks for the tip! Helping out the community as always.

  • Nicly done!! I can't believe how great it looks!!

  • hey muzz, how do you get the cover to be just the right size to fit the case? did you copy and paste the cover into a landscape view or what? please help, i save the image, but i don't know what to do next

  • @tastelikebutter Most likely he printed it out to size and then cut the printed image down to size using a guillotine cutter (as seen on the video below the DMC3 cover art).

  • @tastelikebutter

    I use a program made for printing covers called ExPressit

  • awesome, thanks

  • I actually use a website called The Cover Project for covers. They don't have a massive amount but they have some good ones including customs and classic consoles.

  • If it's one thing I hate about Gamestop, it's the fact that they don't take the time to do what you just did. You're the man.

  • lol looks exactly like my DMC3 case.... xD

  • THANK YOU SO MUCH! NOW MY GAMES LOOK AS GOOD AS NEW!!!

  • wow great tip!

  • thanks man

    ive been looking into getting some new covers for some of my ps2/xbox/gcube games

    does that site also do DVDs and blurays

  • @GamerDog51 Yes they do. They have covers for lots of things like PS1,2,3, Xbox,360, Dreamcast, DS, GC, Wii, PC, PSP, Music, Ect. its a really great site. i've used it a few times myself :D

  • @GamerDog51

    I havent looked for BD covers, But I'm sure they do. they have DVD covers as well:)

  • Another source is thecoverproject. I'll have to check out CDCovers.

  • If I had the ink, I definitely would. *looks over at copy of Soul Calibur 2 that bugs the crap outa me for being my only game xbox game without the artwork*

  • NOU

  • Woah...thx for the tip, man.

  • wow, thats really impressive that you take the initiative(spelling? lol) to do that Gamestop uses a generic crap case(figures right) Thanks for the tip Ill keep this in mind :)

  • that's a good tip muzz.i wish we have a store just like yours here in NORTH CAROLINA.we have gamestop here,but the prices are too high.still love your videos...keep them coming......

  • The only down side is for games like Jade Empire that have raised lettering and holographic covers.

  • I use this site too! =D

  • Tricks of the trade eh, I'll have to favourite this handy one for later!

  • great tip!! i collect games so this will be very useful for me lol! thx a lot!

  • i printed one a long time ago and it came out way too damn big what size should it be???

  • that is such a coincidence; Ive been playing dmc3 lately and been talking about getting a new case for it

  • I'm impressed that you do this for your customers. Good man.

  • thanks man finally no more water damage cases

  • cool

  • When I started building my video game collection (One day I decided to buy games that I always wanted but never bought) all of the cases were like this and I did the exact same thing you do here. I did this for Xbox, Xbox 360, PS2, Gamecube, Wii, and even some PS3 games. Check out some of the european covers, they are even better than the american ones. The main reason for this was that they sold me a Gameboy player for gamecube without the case haha.

  • thats badass, i gotta do this with my kingdom hearts box

  • LINK IN DESCRIPTION PLZ!

  • @Fille3133 you could just type cdcovers.cc not that hard

  • @Jr4594 oh thx :P kinda hard cuz i has dyslexia. did i spell taht right?

  • @Fille3133 I have dyslexia too but I proof read. I doubt you have it because people with it don't go around bragging about it and then making an obvious spelling mistake -.-

  • @bullethead2202 you may have english as first language, i dont.

  • reason gamestop sucks, i went to gamestop to buy forza motor sport 2 and to avoid buying the case that had water damage i brought a nice case with good cover to the desk, the lady took it, replaced it under her desk and brought out a version with the gamestop cover and not the original that i had picked, when i asked her why she said because they wanted the better for display purposes. fuck gamestop

  • @greenblobo9 i would have walked out right them

  • @GarthMcCreery

    same here.

  • What was that website you mentioned?

  • @birddogg62

    Check the description:)

  • @L1Games Ok thanks.

  • thats awesome! i i can finally get reed of these ugly sticker'd up gamestop inserts!

  • @meberra

    Avoid Gamestop...

  • @DreadRaptor85 Gamestop isn't horrible, but its not great. I go there a lot because there aren't many gaming stores around :/

  • @bullethead2202

    Gamestop is garbage. They kill off all their competition.

  • Awesome Tip, been using cdcover(.)cc for years, before DVD was even popular lol!!

  • Thats a good marketing strategy too because if it looks better, they will want to buy it more.

  • i am sure you have done quite a few (lot purchaces) in your business. your last one looked pretty big lol. you should do a vid on some of the real gems( rare or high value) you may have found in them. you could even do a separate vid on some of the items you could never sell in a million yrs lol.

  • I never heard of that site until today. Really awesome. 

  • i don't know why you people are complaining so much about just about printing a replacement i rather have a fake replacement than thos crappy game stop one's i see more of thos at game stop than i see than i see original one's and even tho i collect games to i don't care but as long i have the game and some of the case's you can buy at the store are usually better than the ones you get with the game cus i had some 360 or ps2 case's just crack so easy same gos for the disk's too

  • Thanks dude. I have a couple damaged cases like that!!

  • what camcorder do you use O_o sorry, if you answered this anywhere before I wouldn't know, first time seeing your video ^^

  • @rubbadude

    I use a crappy little Kodak Easy Share. shoots 720p video. you can get one for about 130 bucks:)

  • PLEASE Open an online store. I dont live anywhere near your store, but I would like to support your business, and I believe most of your other subscribers feel the same way

  • cool tip, keep em comin!

  • wow! you really actually care about your customers. hopefully some more retailers catch on

  • thanks for the tip! Wonder if they would have inserts for Army Men: Air Attack for the PS1, 'çause mine came without inserts.

  • finally, i can get a cover for my copy of Makai Kingdom on PS2.

  • Very cool tip, your store is pretty awesome, i really like the way that you do this type of things to give a great customer service.

  • Why are people complaining about it being the original cover? first of all, how could you tell? Second of all, would you rather buy a crappy water-damaged, ruined cover and case or would you rather have something that looks decent?

  • wow, this is amazing. For a collector like me, these tips are what I've been looking for for years.

  • What about something like a damaged cartridge? Do you know where new, fairly priced, blank carts could be purchased to put a ROM card in and a new sticker label on? (Aside from cheap, stripped old copies of Madden games. lol)

  • y is everyone saying "get original case"? gamestop would give u a nasty gamestop inserts with either the crappy original ruined case or a flimsy crappy 1... i mean geese people come on

  • excellent ... i used that site all the time but never knew what was a good paper to use... thanks man

  • Nice!!!

  • sorry mate but this is a bad publicity for you at least buy original cases

  • @TheVaz2108

    Thats kind of a foolish statement. You cant buy original cases for games that are out of print. Where on earth am I going to find a War of the monsters insert? LOL

    when a game comes in with No case or badly damaged case, the best thing to do it print a new cover for it. I could do what gamestop does (Cheap generic case) but I prefer to get it as close to original as possible.

    it's the extra step I'm willing to take for my clientele.

  • It looks great, and I admire the way you take care of the games you receive, but the lack of an actual PS2 case would be a real big turn off for me. I personally wouldn't buy any of your replicas, sorry.

  • hey muzz, got a question, is it possible to do the same thing but with lables from like nes and snes and atari n stuff? cuz those are the ones with alot of damage from mine :/

  • hey gamers

  • you werent lying when you said you care about your customers collection

  • @Anchormanly yes and thats why he give you an non original ps2 case but instead a cheap dvd case

  • @TheVaz2108

    It's a brand new DVD case. I'm sure my customers would much rather have that than the damaged case that came in with the game (or no case for that matter)

  • war of the monster is a badass gaim

  • Gamer Muzz FTW!

  • Thank you so much for a good CD cover site! I couldn't find a good one

  • Could you let us know which brand/product# printer, ink, and paper you're using?

  • @nicolasrogervais

    added it to the description:)

  • @L1Games Thanks for the info. Great to see another insightful tip.

  • That site i go to every day!

  • As many others have said, I'm sick of buying damaged preowned games at gamestop with HEAVILY damaged cases/art. Keep up the great quality L1Games! :-D

  • @crazyfooInc I agree!!

  • I'll have to try this in the future.

  • Looks pretty much like the real thing! If you hadn't said it wasn't I wouldn't have questioned!

  • Thanks this helps allot with some of my DVD's and some of the games I bought used for PS1.

    I thought I would have to rebuy some of those movies.

  • hmm great idea but i dont want to buy a game with a (fake) cover o.o

  • @bendermeister would you REALLY want the shitty damaged cover tho? I know I'd only end up printing my own cover, or maybe not even buy the game at all because of the condition

  • @metallimaniac no but hmm i dont know i dont want to buy a "fake" cover game and a damaged too^^ i would only buy them in good condition =)

  • @bendermeister yeah, but all those ones in bad condition like in the video will never be sold. I guess casual gamers would be more willing to buy em. The collectors will probably want the real cover

  • @metallimaniac thats what i mean ;)

  • @bendermeister

    so you would rather buy one that is torn and water damaged?

  • @misterpink95 no ;)

  • @bendermeister What exactly makes it fake? Because it wasnt printed in the factory that mass produced them? Its just paper with ink on it. Hell I think the high gloss sheet is probably a higher quality paper than the thin glossy sheet they use to mass produce them..

  • @aeminence the case and even the cover are just fake its just a cheap replacement if you are a true collector you wouldn't buy that crap

  • @bendermeister

    these are the games that the covers are too damaged for resale. I wont put trashed game covers all over my walls. looks terrible and people don't want to buy them. I figure this is a far cry better than using the cheap Generic covers Gamestop uses.

  • @L1Games yeah i understand that ;)
