Have you ever played the game that was already inside your system instead of the game you actually wanted to play because you were too lazy to find the case for the CD that's already in the console, put the CD back into said case, and then find the new game and put it in?
I have.
I miss the days when you just had a stack of game cartridges piled up on top of your TV. That was plug and play at its best.
And yeah, having a stack of CDs just isn't the same, especially with them being so much more fragile than thick plastic cartridges. Not to mention the lack of label on the top edge.

People in my house never grasped that its a cd and not a cartridge so now a lot of our great ps1 games are useless due to horrible scratches.

I usually just end up throwing whatever was in the machine at the time into the case for the game I want to play. That resulted in me almost accidentally selling my copy of Morrowind a couple years ago.

I'm really bad, because I usually just put the game in the case of whatever game I'm switching to. If I run out of cases (which theoretically shouldn't happen, but has) then I'll play the game... Or use the DVD box of whatever film I'm watching. Then there's a Sunday three weeks later where I spend all day putting everything back into their respective cases.

When a game CD is not in the machine, it is returned to the case from which it came!
When a game case is not empty, as in, the CD to said case is not being used, it is returned to the shelf!
CDs and DS cards are never removed from their respective cases except for short periods of time!
Game boxes and cases are never discarded regardless of how old they are or how much space they are taking up!
This is Bluey's Rule!

Usually for discs, shit goes back where it should be. As for GBA or DS games, I have a multicase for those. Although on occasion I've left something in because I had to leave in a rush.

I have an old computer desk that has drawers with the perfect dimensions for storing stacks of NES games.
Once my Xbox broke I gave up on new systems and decided to stick to the classics, but I've had my share of scratched games discs due to laziness. I still do it with CDs too.

I don't ahve many games anymore, so it's really easy to keep them all neat, and all of the cases are right by the system anyways, so switching is never a problem.
