With stickers, if they are too excessive WD40 works pretty good. Just to add another point to this cool list of gripes.

How many memory card holders do I need??? Really it was clever to have it in the case but for pete's sake stop already. Your wasting plastic.

HMV.co.uk who always send you one of the **** ones of the CD you order.. (eg. the one that got cracked/smashed and they couldnt sell .. so they just send it out on theri online store because you cant choose..)

Definately.. I once bought a double-vinyl from them and when it came it was completely falling apart, as well as coming without the 30 page booklet that was meant to be with it. Tossers.

I'd have to add PAL DC cases and those Saturn boxes with the cover made of cardboard that's just glued on to the plastic.

I hate it when win something from ebay, it's says he/she is a UK ebayer. Only to find out later that they are from Asia and the goods are bootlegs.

Bring back the plastic shell cases for GBA games (the ones the original Gameboy had in the early days).

They were a good idea, that's why Nintendo stopped making them.

[Pistol]

Crappy games boxes annoy me. PS1 cases weren't *too* bad. N64 boxes were absolutely awful (even if it's a cart not a CD, a game should still come in some form of substantial packaging). But the award for dumbest cases ever must surely go to PAL DC games. Hard to open, fragile as a ming vase, and they don't even look very good.

Games without a sound test.

Hell yeah. I especially hate it when a game has an awesome soundtrack, and has no soundtest whatsoever.

The advent of CD-Audio at the begining of CD-ROM based consoles really pleased me, because most of the time developers would put the music in this format, so you could listen to it via a CD-player regardless of whether the game had an ingame soundtest or not. Unfortunately those days are long gone...

When i buy a preowned game and find that the disc has a massive crack in the centre. A duff case i can stand but that. I also feel the pain of the shrink wrap, i am so scared of slcing my JPN GC cases getting into there shrink wrap.

[geldra]

I hate it when you pause a game and the bgm keeps playing. The usual reason i pause a game is to talk to someone or to listen out for the doorbell/some random unexpected noise or something, having the music playing whilst a game is paused kind of defeats the point really.

[Kevvy Metal]

I truly hate the fact that when Game or Virgin recieve new stock of a game. they feel the need to remove all the shrink wrap, take out the disk and instruction manual, put it in a drawer and shove the box on the shelf.

So when i come along to buy the game, i pick up the box of the shelf that is half ****ed from little kids dropping it on the floor and wiping snotters on it. But i think its just a display case, they will go round the back and get me a mint copy.

But no!
ft: The spotty little **** pulls out the manual and disk from the drawer and trys to ram the disk in the case Stevie Wonder style. ft: ft:

Many times i've told them to get me another copy and some times i've taken the game home to find it won't run on my console. ft:

You may think why don't i mail order?
I really hate waiting weeks for games to arrive and worring there lost in the post, and there is no torture like coming home to find a note from the post office saying they tried to deliver and i was out. especally when it's the new Zelda game and the redirected post office is miles away and i don't have a car.

AND GAME HAVE THE CHEEK TO CHARGE MORE FOR PRE-OWNED WHEN THEY ****ING OPEN UP ALL THERE GAMES ON YOUR BEHALF ft:

Grainger Game's in the North East seems compelled, not only to stick ridiculously sticky company logo's on the inside of game cases but also stick a circular sticker on the disk itself with the company logo on. Peeves me right off that does, so much so that I no longer buy second hand games from them.

oh yeah i know i managed to peel one off and sell it on ebay, luckily i got no complaints but there was a sticky mess around the disk
