I will buy a game that doesn't have the instruction manual, but.. i wont buy the game if it doesn't have a case.
But if i can get the game as it was in its original release, then i go for that.
Do you buys games even if they don't come with the box or instuction manual?
No, but I have a friend that buys me games from Hong Kong that comes in simply plastic covers.
I actually got a Chinese version of Hitman: Contracts.
No, I always have to have a case for it, atleast with games that are in a disc format, I just cannot see how someone can buy a game that comes in opne of those generic gamestop cases.But say if it's an old game for the NES, I just pick up the game, although if I buy stuff on ebay I would try to get a box depending on how much it costs.
I need both, but I've made exceptions with KOTOR and Freedom fighters.
I am collecting NES games right now, and all I want is the game. Personally I find the boxes kinda a waste of space.

Most games are casual in the sense that they have a baby first stage that you can't skip and the game actually pauses gameplay and shows you how to play it. If it was an old game where you were expected to have near mastered the core mechanics at the start of stage 1, you'd need a manual for that.
i do not care about the maual what soever, and if its a cartridge i dont care about the box what soever. I usually just buy games new because i dont buy many games per system anyway though.
I make sure they have the correct manual and box. I think its part of the game's aesthetic.
Only GBA games.
No. There is really not chance for a game to survive shipping without having problems with it once paid without a case, IMO.I do buy a game with the case and sometimes without the manual.
Depends on my chances of seeing that game disc again. So when I saw these PSone games I really wanted for not that much money, I bought them even though they were only the discs.
I try to get the manual and the box but if I get one of them, then I live with it.
Maybe. If it's a cartridge, yes. If it's a disc I'll only buy it used if I can't find it brand new anywhere(or if it's overly expensive), and if I buy it used I don't care if it has the instruction book, but the case is a must.
If it's a game that originally came in a cardboard box, I could care less about having the box.If it's a game that originally came in a hard plastic case, I must have the case.
It depends I've only even gotten one game that didnt have the original case and that's only because I'd never been able to find it anywhere else. The manual I'd like to have it but if it isnt there I'm not overly worried and like 95% of the time the pre-owned game I get have the manual. I only buy pre-owned if I can't find it new though or the difference between the prices of new and pre-owned is a lot.
no I will only buy them with the case and manual unless I absolutley have to
I need everything pretty much because i feel like its empty without everything. And i hate stickers on my cases lol.
Like most others, for me it depends on the media format.Cartridges = Don't care, don't need 'em. Instructions are easily found online, boxes are pretty much a waste. The game title / image is right on the front label for most carts. Discs = Being a 'collector' as well as player of PSX / PS2 game, no way. Cases, instruction manuals, cover art = all must-haves for me. I once had to swap a 'generic' Gamestop [b]Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana[/b] keepcase (Ugly as heck and with no instructions) with the original one at my local store (which included the instructions......thankfully the price was the same, so they gladly let me make the swap).For both, if the covers are worn / plastic is cracked on the cases, I just swap out all the inserts and discs into replacement CD (PSX) / DVD (PS2) cases.

It's alright when you can get them off really easily but then theres the occasional one that takes like an hour to come off or it leaves a sticky mark.
