Which side do you display on you box sets?

Here's a stupid little question - when you have box sets in your collection, which side do you display? The side where you can see the individual titles, or the side showing the box? I display the titles, just was wondering what others here did.

Except for the Nightmare on Elm Street box. The Titles line up to make a picture.

Box side. But I hope one day I'll have enough room to place all DVDs with their front sides like in a store. Maybe it's stupid, but that's my "thing"

When I had just two overflowing shelves, I would display the title side. Now that I have plenty of towers, cases, and shelves, I like the box side better. I don't know what happened.

Me too, which is funny, because that is the one set that has the most complete information on the box side.

I'm a box side person too, except that I also try and put nice box sets in more display type fashion. The only exception for me is the Ultimate Matrix Collection. I just find that the side with the pullout digipaks looks nicer on my shelf.

I display the box side facing outward as well. I like the keep the spines of the individual cases within shielded from the horrors of the real world.

Depends on the box. I always keep the face side of the box forward like my individual DVDs. So, it usually ends up being the title spines on the outside. But right now I have all of my box sets separately so it's not really an issue.
