Does retail boxes matter to you?

When I buy a game off Steam, I often regret doing that most likely because i didn't get the retail box. Good thing is that it sometimes cheaper and save me a trip to the store. I love the retail boxes because of the manual and I love to smell them(A lot of gamers do that)
Do you guys like retail boxes?

yes i love retail boxes

Call me old-fashioned if you like, but I like looking at box art and reading paper game manuals. I collect games and enjoy seeing the physical copies on my shelves.

Yes, they matter to me a lot.

I for one love the retail boxes.

Yes, I try to get games off retail instead of DLC most of the times. I like having the physical object which I try to keep it in perfect condition.

For consoles yeah. PC it doesnt really bother me since Ive never really liked the packaging PC games have come in ever.

I prefer retail over digital because with retail I actually own the product. it's in my hands. It's mine. I like that feeling. With digital it's pay to play. In the end, it isn't really yours, you can't just put it somewhere and say, "this is where I put the games!" It's just like, I don't know... that's just how I feel about it. I mean, people playing the game with any avenue they choose is cool, but I feel like I'd rather pay the higher price for actual ownership.

i like box art and i like the feeling you get the first time you open a brand new game

especally when you get the game at midnight

I used to be a digital buyer, but recently My love for art has finally came back, and with it the need to see amazing box art. I used to try and get Collector's Editions of every game that I was interested in graphic wise. I currently only own 5 Collector's Edition games, and i find myself drooling (not literally) over them constantly.

Me too. I like to have it with the box manual, original disks and so on...

I love digital downloads for good deals (occasionally) and the fact that it is less effort to just plug in some information and download the game. However I, like many people here apparently, love having the retail box and manual in my possession as well. Usually I will try to only download games that are either very rare or it is a deal I just simply can't pass up. There is just something special to me to own all the cases and manuals for the games that I have.

Yes. I always keep everything that cames with my games
