Kane99 Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 When I was growing up, I didn't really keep the console boxes. I know with our NES, I don't think we kept the box. Though I was tempted to check out my old house to see if there was a nintendo box somewhere. But never went out to check. Anyway, I kept my old 360 box, and had a box for my PS2, but it got crushed and I tossed it. Also had the Sega Genesis box, but that got crushed as well. Only console boxes I have left are my Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
Reality vs Adventure Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 I don’t know why, but I have both ps4 boxes and all wrappings for both my ps4’s and a ps3 box for my ps3. I think it looks better with a box in case you want to sell your console, but I don’t plan on selling mine. So why the boxes? I think it’s a hoarding issue.
Justin11 Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 The fact that none of my consoles I bought were brand new, made me not to have the boxes attached to them. I bought them as refurbished and also fairly used, that's why I missed out on having their boxes.

If you get it new, I'd keep the box going forward. I also prefer the nostalgia feeling of having the box, manuals, etc.

I was simply like that too when i go for brand new phones, I always take the carton back home and keep them for long to calculate how many phones I've owned in my life, lol.

I got the collector mentality, so I like to keep the boxes for most things.

It's that way, it isn't bad with what you've chosen for yourself. I am like that too, but since I couldn't lay my hands on brand new that's why my passion died for it.
Empire Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 I tend to keep boxes if I was going to be moving homes for an example. I have boxes for my flight stick and also my screens as I know they will be useful when boxing to move.
The Blackangel Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 These days, no I don't. In the old days, yes I did. But they got lost over time somewhere. I wish I knew what happened to them.

Just that some persons prefer saving them up, for reference purpose when they want to get to know how many they've owned.
The Blackangel Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) I have 2 CIB systems saved. One is an NES, and the other is a Sears Video Arcade II. So I have a couple. Edited January 20, 2022 by The Blackangel

So I have a couple. I wish I had a boxed NES. The Nostalgia trip I'd go through seeing an unopened box would be cool. Same with any of the retro consoles that weren't nearly as popular. Idk I think it'd be cool to open a box from that far ago. But I never would due to the idea of it being tarnished by opening it.
skyfire Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 Manuals are the first thing that I lose for almost every electronic device. I purchased Xiaomi's phone recently and I don't even remember their warranty manual is in box or not.
Darth Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 I like to keep the boxes. I don't really read the manuals but I think it's just nice to keep them as well so that you have everything that came with the console. The box helps a lot when you're moving house or if you ever decide to sell it. It's not too big either so it's not like it's going to take a huge amount of space in your house.

I purchased Xiaomi's phone recently and I don't even remember their warranty manual is in box or not. I keep them closer, but I hardly open it since the internet holds every information I need, if I require anything at all. It doesn't have to be the game manual or mobile phone manual.
