Default Where to get PS3 game case

Im looking to buy an original clear empty case for a ps3 game. I tried to do a search, but was not able to find anything. Tried ebay as well

Ive got Unchartered 1 greatest hits, which has that red case and is quite an eyesore.

I used to have that problem. My solution was to buy a really cheap game at Gamestop and just switch out the packaging and contents. Sometimes you'll end up paying about 3, 4, or 5 bucks for a case, but I too couldn't stand the red "greatest hits" cases.

We have a ton of extra cases for the PS3 at my store. I'll check tomorrow as to where we purchase them.

Message me tomorrow around 4 EST if you would like to know.

There is a disclaimer at the bottom of the page though:

TO USE THESE FOR REPLACING YOUR PLAYSTATION 3 GAME CASES THE PAPERWORK MUST BE TRIMMED 1/8 OF AN INCH FOR THE PAPER TO FIT CORRECTLY. STANDARD PLAYSTATION CASES ARE SLIGHTLY THICKER THAN STANDARD BLU-RAY CASES.

i bought a few from a flea bay seller in the UK. It was official PS3 that came with some random artwork. Maybe he orders them as replacements from Sony but that i can't be sure of. They were unsealed but clearly never used.

Best buy usually puts a lot of empty cases to push out the game cases to the front of the rack.
Try going there and see if they would let you replace one with another.
Also try EBGames, they might let you exchange.

Also you can go on Amazon or half.com and pick up one of the early sports games. Those things are always priced at around a buck something.

Thanks for the input. I will do some searching around ebay for some older MLB or Madden games. If any of you want to exchange this red case or sell a clear one to me that would work.

my best buy has Rock Revolution for $4.99
if you can't find any you can just buy that and switch out the cases..but the blockbuster 1 for $1 sounds good..

I remember when they had the used blu-ray 2 for $25 sale.. the movies came in dvd cases, I asked the girl at the desk if they still had the original cases, she said no because the movies got shipped to them that way but she told me she had a bunch of empty PS3 cases that she could give me if I wanted

Your best bet is to by a stale pre-owned sports game at Gamestop. That way, you avoid Ebay's shipping costs. Unless you can find a bundle on Ebay that makes it worth it.
