Do you save the sleeves from your games?
This has probably been posted, but I couldn't find it. If it is a repost I will report this to be deleted
I have noticed a trend lately, mostly with 360 games that the games come in these cardboard sleeves. Ones I've bought recently like this are FEAR 2, and Afro Samurai. I kind of feel the need to save them as if they aren't as collectable without them, but it really is a pain in the ass to take them out, then put the game in then place it back in the sleeve (I'm lazy i know).
Do you all save these, or throw them out.Another option could be to save them in a different part of the house (box or something) and not have them on the game.
What do you guys do?

Re: Do you save the sleeves from your games?
I keep the slipcases with the games, I've never really considered doing anything else with them to be honest. I guess if it's something I'll be taking in and out (like Halo 3 and that dumbassed limited edition case) I might take the slipcase off and leave it out while I'm playing, but otherwise they stay with the games.

I keep them on the game case. It's not that big a deal to slide it off, and I don't have many games with them.

Re: Do you save the sleeves from your games?
Keep them. But yeah, I get lazy.
I got the Gears of Wars 2 LE and, for me, it's a pain in the ass to get the game out of that case. So GoW2 is the game that's always in the console. If I want to play another game, I put the GoW2 disc in the case for that game, and when I'm done I put GoW2 back in the console. Yeah, I'm that lazy. But I usually play GoW2 at least once a week. Once I'm "done" with the game it should be back in its case.

I honestly can't think of any games that I own that have slipcovers. But if I had any I would definately keep them and just leave them off the case while playing that particular game.

Re: Do you save the sleeves from your games?
I leave them on, but for the games that are in my playing rotation that are hard to take out of the case, I put them in little cd/dvd holders... this is mostly done for LEs like Mass Effect, Halo 3, etc.
