  • This is also a neat way to get rid of the greatest hits cover.

  • I have used goo gone to take the stickers off of the inserts, but kinda fucks it up. Barely noticeable though.

  • i love when the sticker on the side is on wax paper and not on the insert which is most of the time for me

  • You could probably use this to beat some of those "Greatest Hits" covers too

  • yu sir are A GAMING GOD seriusly u shuld make you shuld make yur own gamin company yud get 10/10 game of year,month,decade even from IGNorant

  • I bought Soul Calibur 3 for ps2 at gamestop. It was not in its original case and there was a fucking sticker on the disc!!! Fuck gamestop Jesus Christ.

  • My gamestop just slids the stickers with the plastic its prestuck on to inside the case so they arent stuck on there. But my old gamestop where i used to live did it. now i have a way around this.

  • ive actually not bought the game i wanted at gamestop because it doesnt have the cover then went to another to find it and the FUCKING STICKERS oh my god they get there own spot on my shelf so i dont have to look at them

  • I rember gamecrazy back in the day

  • That has always bothered me too. Good to know I'm not alone there.

  • I got a pre own game at gamestop, and they give me a hollywood video box. stupid gamestop

  • GameStop Sucks

  • is gamestop the only retro game store in your area?

  • What i dont get is why the fuck alot of games what coming out lately are piece of shit? I mean WHY THE F* the old games with bad graphics owning new once. And new once with good graphics looking like shit. Its like the games getting better graphics but the game self fals behind each year...

  • My copy of Wiisports came in a proper box. But I am in the UK... however I know with newer Wii's here you get the crappy cardboard thing. Just thinking if it's the same there that box cover might have been from early Wii's that had a proper box.

  • you could actually start a business doing that, and probably make a decent amount of cash

  • I remember picking up R&C for PS3, and they had fucking stickers on the side, so I tried to tear them off, and I accidently ripped the case.

  • @EWJOEtv DUDE!! that sucks ass!! such an awesome game destroyed be a bucnh of FUCKING RETARDS (herp derp was here)

  • i picked up cod 2 it had the normal case and they gave me the crappy case back

  • I watched this with snow flakes

  • In Canada they're on the outside. 0.o

  • i think the same thing i take em off slowly an any thing thats left i have this solution stuff that you spray on n it takes off all the residue and looks like new,,

  • @DjStiv3 also to add i do this for the game cases not actual artwork,, as thers no way to save it,, just go to ebay an buy it like new or ask questions if theres stickers on it fuck gamestop

  • 3:11 you just blew my fxcking mind. 

  • I do some artwork and was looking into doing prints. I went to kinkos but for 11x17 on regular paper is $1.75 per print. Is it just the kinkos I go to? Is there a better place? Would also like to get some game covers as well.

  • Gamestop Should Have Went Bankrupt Instead Of Gamecrazy

  • presentation is everything. I hate those little stickers

  • On retro games, like nes, for some reason these places used to have like a fetish for putting the price sticking right on the fucking label of the game... Now that I think of it, pretty much everywhere I go puts a price sticker right on the label........ It always leaves that stupid ass residue, no matter how much you try and carefully remove it.

  • Awesome Idea! I did something similar for my Shadow Hearts games that took me forever to find and it kinda worked but my printer kinda sucks. Never thought to go and have copies made somewhere. Definitely gonna do this not only for those games but ones that have those annoying stickers.

  • @AlphaOmegaSin Excuse me, but not only must I thank you for this video, but I feel the need to ask on how I can get extra copies of manuals. One thing that grinds my damn gears is that a game I buy that doesn't have a manual makes me a sad guy. Hell, a good amount of my PS2 games don't have them and buying another copy of a game just for the damn manual is bull****. Please tell me if you have any ways to get the manuals for these games! I know other people here would agree with me on this.

  • @jayofthe400 Have you ever heard of videogameinstructionbooklets(d­ot)com?

    They have inserts, cases, and instruction booklets.

    Hope that helps.

  • thank you i now get my game cases with cover and wat printer do i use to print them out i hop hp print.

  • Would those cover replacements also work for cartridges like NES, Genesis, SNES, and Nintendo 64 for example?

  • By the way thanks for the advice, I'm annoyed by this bull shit as well, and I'm glad someone has found a way around it.

  • Custom Robo was a really good game.

  • Metal Jesus!

  • how many PS2 games do you have

  • I understand exactly, i try to primp and keep my collection of nice quality just like you. I really hate the sticker deal.

  • Talking about Wii Sports, I just used a CD case. Problem solved.

  • Goto cdcovers.cc they have everything.

  • oh and the best part about those stickers is that they have one on the front,one on the back or 2 if your lucky on the back and one on the spine and hell why not just fuck the whole case up by covering the whole case up with there lovely urinating stickers all over the case that way you cant see what game it is lol oh gamestop you really are mediocre in evey way by fuckn over the consumer and your prices oh and your bs cards and your reserves gamestop is the worst gamestore ever

  • That's some good advertising right there. On those generic Game Stop sleeves...they even promote their edge card on the back.

    I always hated shopping there and after they had back my change at the counter, always they ask "do you want to buy an edge card? Do you have any preorders?"

    Can't stand them, and placing stickers all over....it does take forever picking the ones off the actual art work...not to mention you tear some of it off as you're peeling, so it looks pretty crappy.

  • now only if I can find a way to get new manuals :)

  • (miasmablk) There's a site on the web that specializes in selling old manuals even for Ps1 games. There's also another site that is made up of volunteers who scan their manuals so that people can print them out or even see them (like FFIII Manual, Bomberman 2 etc.).

  • why is that other thumbs up button up side down

  • What dimensions should I have the image in?

  • Gamestop is ridiculous, I would rather go to the "Mom and Pop" game store, the one near me is GODLIKE!!! You get your used games cleaned free before you leave (including scratches), week warranty for ALL games new AND used, you can test a game on ANY system before you leave usin a game station, ALL MAINSTREAM systems are sold, and they takes games full price...

    FUCK YOU GAMESTOP!

  • You got zone of the enders? That's a really good game.

  • But you have to get your bends right along with the cut, very risky but none the less good shit.

  • Finally, i don't know how long ive been looking but it was bothering me i couldnt find a different site that had the alan wake cover art. I cannot stand buying a game when it comes with that gamestop insert page. I was very close to rebuying the game just get the cover if i didn't find a site which had it. (thecoverproject didnt have it)

  • Its official. Your game Jesus.

    this shit has bothered me for years, i just thought i was insane. thank you so much. you deserve an up vote.

  • @qwertlolo

    yes and he rants for us.

  • @qwertlolo he also has the beard

  • Why do they not just keep the stickers on the case :/

  • Comment removed

  • dude this is fucking genius. just did covers for silent hill 3 and 4 because the used ones i got from gamestop had that stupid gamestop cover on it.

  • Where can I get that quality paper from?

  • I know the point of this video is obviously the stickers, but it's always great to see someone else have/get Custom Robo. I've been playing that game since I was a kid and always loved it's game play and it's hilariously self-aware humor.

  • Why do ppl throw away the case and/or instructions? They should be shot!!! I will not buy a used game without the stuff unless I just have to play it now. Then I will buy another copy to get the stuff.

  • You know what i like? When i buy a game and i see three stickers on it, peel them all off and the last one was marked cheaper then the price i bought it for...

  • Lmao

  • What kind of paper do you use exactly? I use Semi Gloss 100lb paper and yours look much better than mine.

  • You are awesome for giving this solution. I too am annoyed by the stickers and the covers that aren't the actual covers for a game.

  • use a blow dryer to heat up the sticker & the glue of the sticker & it should come off smoothly

  • I paid thirty fucking dollars for Ico at a Gamestop and the sticker was on the inside spine >.<

  • If you peel the stickers off the game case often becomes sticky from the glue. Fuck stickers!

  • At least a couple months ago, Gamestop bothered to give you a legitimate case. It might not of had a cover, but you got a case. Now, they give you some piece of shit sleeve. With a million stickers. If taking stickers off the insert wasn't hard enough, try peeling that shit off of a paper sleeve. FUN.

  • i also hate those gamestop covers i got a playstation 3 my self and i brought gta 4 complete editing (new) and they din't gave me the origanal cover

  • Good sir you have quite a fine collection going there, do you live in California? Because I do and I had to evacuate my entire gaming set up twice because of the San Diego Wildfires. Not to mention there are fucking small quakes here and then and its absolutely hell for a collector.

  • You are... God!!! xD

  • man thank you i am gonna go to FedEx man i love you for that tip few years back my mom through away my game cases which wouldn't have cared that much for but she threw away the inserts and the manuals

  • I like my my games with cases, boxes, and manuals. Everything it had when it was new, in good condition.

    No stupid stickers, no scrape marks. This is why I have to spend like $100 - $200 on a ten to fifteen year old game.

  • i hate the stickers too

  • The most stores here where I live (except Gamestop) in Sweden for the most part re-wrap it with new plastic (if the game is complete with manuals etc.), so the game feels brand new and then they put the stickers over the wrapper. I appreciate that, even it's a used game.

  • i hate the stickers but i guess it is necessary.

  • I just go to ganestop for psn cards pre orders and sometimes used games if im to cheap at that momment

  • If people were REAL GAMERS they would not go to gamecunt. Those cunt suckers wanted to give me 15 cunt dollars for a ds lite,i went to the exchange and got 35 dollars for it. Thank you and good night !

  • Sorry for the bad spelling im using an i pod touch

  • The only real priblem with doing this if foldibg the paper to fit in the case but thats well worth not having to deal with those retarded fucking stickers!

  • Great idea but im to lazy to go to a copy works or a fed ex and spend extra money on something that should of never happened in the first place,but i can actually get around this without spending extra money.....i know the manager at my gamestop hes really cool and he gives me a really great condition case with a non stickered insert and i usually get a none scratched game {at least on the PS3, 360 and Wii} with the manual so my gamestop rocks.

  • Dude dont buy em off the internet, the next time you see a minty fresh case at gamestop just jack that shit! (ie shove down pants and let it rub up against the male anatomy, thereby INCREASING its value)

    I am well over 1,000 complete PS2, Xbox and Gamecube games and they are all decadently delightful because of this (;

  • Started working at GameStop a few months ago, and the white sticker on top of the yellow sticker, is because we're forced to do that, to cover up the yellow ones. I'm not sure why they put your stickers on the inside of the cover art. That's kind of annoying, none of the stores I spend my time at do that, so I guess it's a by district thing, but I'd be annoyed by that myself.

    I'll give those scan sites out to people looking, thanks for the tip. I'd much rather have original over custom art.

  • When I try printing out covers to anything, I could never get the right size, technology is bullshit.

  • I am done with gamestop, last month i went to buy Borderlands GOTY and Dungeon Siege 3, both were not shrinkwrapped and had 2 stickers on it and a another sticker keeping it "sealed" where you open it.

    fuck gamestop, if it isn't shrinkwrapped it ISNT NEW are they fucking stupid?

  • @smro00 They did that shit when I brought RDR Undead Nightmare I even saw them take the disc out of the sleeve and put it the the display box that I handed to them fuck gamestop I only go there for pre-orders now since I can i download MS points cards thru Amazon

  • the stickers are the tip of the iceberg on how gamestop just sucks. they're corporate scum

  • I hate used stickers too! I love to keep a library neat

  • funny thing is europe gets wii sports in a full size cover that comes in the wii box, then again recently at target, they were selling wii sports on a shelf in a full size cover labeled "nintendo selects", still though it's kind of a rip cuz u would be payin 20 bucks for a pack in game lol

  • thats one epic game shelf behind you!!

  • hah, I am the same way. When I bought my red wii, it came with new super mario bros and wii sports in those little square folders -- I bought an actual red wii game case and the actual (not a printout) insert for the game (it already game with the booklet). Now it's legit. :D

  • .. You look like a warrior from Rohan

  • @TheIrateGaemer He does look like Eomer lulz!

  • @TheIrateGaemer GTFO irate. go copy AVGN some more

  • When I buy games from GameStop, it's only because I'll never return the game in my life. Even if I had a second copy, I'd NEVER give it back to GameStop.

  • i got a used game from gamestop with a shitton of stickers AND no cover art inside... cute

  • gamestop is bad for this yes but theres a fucking store here in canada that dont use stickers they mark the price of the game on the insert with now get this A FUCKING SHARPIE lik the sticker we can peal off but a marker fucking assholes

  • Gamestop is the 1 dislike lol

  • the new insert doesn't seem as big as the original.

  • They never really bothered me enough to do all that but they are stupid and could easily find another way to place prices on there without making the game case all fucked up.

  • That printing idea is great! The only problem I have with the online "game only" thing is that it doesn't come with instructions either, so that bugs me and there's no way to really fix that. It's nice too because for those gamecube games, you could slide the printed game cover over the crappy original with the sticker. It'll look nice and you still keep the original one hidden underneath. Great video!

  • That first sticker on the inside... that's so fucking stupid.

  • heyyy you could also take one of your favorite games and print out some fake 'super secret special edition' insert and make people think you got this awesome rare copy of it! Like 'Mortal Kombat: Get the Fuck Over Here Edition"

  • Gamestop is the biggest piece of shit store.

  • Wow. Get a life, dork.

  • great solution man! eb games overdo it with the stickers too.

    i highly suggest more people order online instead of gamestop, or at least other outlets like best buy, future shop, wal-mart, hmv, even superstore.

    gamestop/eb games have great selections but they treat games in disrespectful disposable manner.

  • @GearLive05 Well we don't have BestBuy here so I order on amazon, I've always received my products from there.

  • @GearLive05 Well fuck them then, us reasonable people don't go to gamestop unless we have to. At least imo.

  • wooow some one one understands me lol

    i hate gamestop for those 4 used stickers on the game cases

    and whats up with buying a game with no cover and manual and not getting a little discount anyways great video

  • @GearLive05 Well before I was 18 I just asked my parents to use their credit cards and give them cash.

  • @GearLive05 You don't need one to shop online, there are different payment options.

  • I worked at Gamestop last summer, and I remember asking management why they did this, and told them it was a waste of time since nobody wanted them there and we'd end up picking up stickers all over the floor of the store. Needless to say, they just told me to shut the fuck and not bitch about doing my job. Fuckers.

  • I have never seen that many games in my life....EVER.

  • I like the intro and outro plus I hate that shit too....

  • lol fuck those stickers, especially when they rip the art up like that

  • i have that problem to well at least i used to!?i got a bunch of friends that work at gamestop and they always hook me up,they give me the best looking case/insert (with no stickers) and great conditioned games!so i really dont have this problem any more!

  • I REFUSE to put the stickers on the insert, no matter what my boss tells me. It's not worth messing up a nice insert.

  • Not sure if anyone already said this, but do these covers fit the game case perfect like the actual covers? It looked like the one you had printed out that you showed side by side with the other gamecube game looked a lot smaller.

  • Dude! when I worked at gamestop they made us put the sticker on the insert. And I told my boss I was like "Look dude, this ruins the fucking game" And he said "Yeah man I know but we gotta do what we're told" And I said well why can't we just leave the sticker on the paper and stick it in there. And he agreed that would be cool so now on the spine Gamestop puts the sticker on the insert with the paper without sticking it to the actual game insert.

  • the gamestop that i shop at i made friends with the people that work there and sence that has happened they always put the sticker under the clear part of the case cause i told them that you hated it so much so thank you sin you cured the problem in my town you rock and game on dude

  • @raziel062686

    Dude that's pretty badass :D

  • stickers are sooooo god damn strong and sticky if you ever noticed and I tryed to peel it off carefully but the box art was peeling off with it and I was like FUCK man such a disaster so im pretty much fucked in the B hole on that one...why they didnt just leave the shrinkwrap on it in the firstplace is beyond me man.....Fuck......ppeaccee

  • Yeah bro I feel you on that Im pretty much fucked with my problem..I picked up the Ys Seven PSP premium edition that comes in those big glossy cardboard boxes that look badass..but anyway they took the shrink wrap off of it and obvioously took all the shit out of the box for some reason and put it back in and when they did that they slaped one of those clear circular stickers on the top (the ones they use to seal up games that they open and molest and try and sell them as new) yeahh and those

  • the guy who disliked the video works at gamestop

  • dude you rock!!

  • i live in the uk and my bundled wii sports came in a case, dont know why the usa got screwed over

  • ALPHA I LOVE YOUR VIDS PLEASE DO A GEARS 3 BEta VID YOU RULE DUDE!!! BTW I WORKED AT GAMESTOP FOR THREE YEARS I FELT LIKE A WHORE WORKING THERE

  • Fuck gamestop

  • ive been watching your videos and ive come to the conclusion that we are twins

  • @Kyros85 lol you should see the ppl in his fb group, we are all twins in there xD

  • Awesome Idea..

    Yea, it annoys the piss out of me.

    Don't ruin the product with garbage that helps the store identify it.

    Why would I want to take that bullshit home.

    Especially if it may damages the product.

  • really cool dude ! now i can put some covers from other countries , which looks much cooler as the regular covers we got because many japanese or european covers of a game looks much better on the first look . =) but can u please make a review about the soul reaver series ? its one of the coolest game series ever!but many people dont know about soul reaver anymore ... and a review about one or two games of the soul reaver franchise would be good for many action-game fans.PLEASE!! <=(

  • Who needs gamestop when you have amazon.

  • @Crow667

    lol this is true but i had to stop in for the buy 2 get 2 sale. kinda hard to pass up especially whenever i needed to get more GBA and Gamecube games, before they quit taking them in

  • Where can I find those empty cases for any system. That's what I want to know. Cheap too.

  • @vfmc77

    you can buy most generic game dvd cases online in bulk. just type it into google "dvd replacement case" or check out ebay for em

  • Thanks mate! I didnt even think about that, ill use my schools mega printer!

  • @ImaPSPcat

    that right there is a cool plan, mass printing for free :P

  • lol I agree with you man

  • I fucking hate damn stickers too!!!

    most of the time, if you take a hair dryer and

    put it on the sticker for a few secs"moving it around", it

    usually comes off.

    never knew fed-ex did prints, might have to check that out..xD

  • Thats actually a really good idea. I have quite a few game that I ordered online from gamestop that doesn't have the original cover. I might have to invest a little bit of money to print off new covers cause those stupid covers from gamestop annoys me.

  • Haha, I was just recently at FedEx doing something very similar (for a super secret project) and it never occurred to me to do this. I thought I had a whole crapload of games with GameStop stickers on the inserts, but now that I look at them, there were only 4 in my collection, plus a couple that didn't have the original inserts at all. Guess I'll be heading back over there soon!

  • your idea rocks

  • how about games with cover art on the inside of the cover..i think the mgs games have this

  • @CAVALLIN0

    you can find scans of those too, just you'll have to find somewhere that has a printer that prints on both sides

  • Hooray!

  • I havent had trouble with stickers I bought two wii games and they were easy to take off and I only buy the games if they come in their case

  • That Wii-sports-case is official.

    I got mine in that case when I bought my Wii.

    I don't think the US got that though, for some reason.

  • It could be worse, you could have a 2 inch x 2 inch thick sticker on the back of your PC Final Fantasy VII that is impossible to get off without tearing the cover art off :(.

  • @Moothead2

    yeah when its like right on cardboard you're shit out of luck sadly. thats how a few genesis games i have that are complete look as well as growlancer for the ps2. sucks...

  • The other thing that drives me nuts is when I grab a case that is not greatest hits and they end up grabbing a greatest hits copy of the game. Fortunately, for the most part, they aren't putting those stickers directly on the spine cover art anymore.

  • The Wii sports case is the real one, in the uk you got the game in a real case when the wii was first released 

  • @ScratchMasterWebbe

    Yeah i had heard about that, was kinda bummed out lol but ive got the case for it now finally so i can't complain :P

  • @AlphaOmegaSin how did u print these and im only 14 and did u had to save it to a usb memory or did you use their computers to print it. you sir r a genious.

  • @AlphaOmegaSin to get the stickers off dude use a blow dryer see if that works

  • Great video, those scans look amazing

  • I'd love to know what a**hole came up with putting stickers on the insert. Probably the same one that came up with throwing out the inserts and manuals.

  • Even if you manage to get the sticker off the spine of the case art, if it's been there a while there's a chance that the residue has soaked into the paper. It's really great when I found that had happened to both Ikaruga AND Cubivore. Freaking gamestop.

  • stickers on the inserts always annoyed the piss out of me.

  • sorry bombard you I love your opinion on games im a huge gears fan I wanna know your opinion on gears in general 1 2 and 3 ---> (the multiplayer beta) cmon man do it pussy!! ha ha

  • great vid, only problem I had was with blockbuster dvd cases for the game, or stickers on the outside/wrong case type....I just switch the case with ones I don't care about. but awesome you found a solution

  • ALPHA I LOVE YOUR VIDS PLEASE DO A GEARS 3 BEATS VID YOU RULE DUDE!!! BTW I WORKED AT GAMESTOP FOR THREE YEARS I FELT LIKE A WHORE WORKING THERE

  • @fraggles666 :D
