controller "air bubbles".

You mean that annoying sticker that goes over the top, or in the case of some dvds, the top/bottom/side?  Holy crap you're crazy man, haha.

If a game was manufactured with a sticker on it like that, I myself would probably keep it on. But sticker crap that the store puts on it I rip right off. I try not to be one of those collectors with serious issues and some people think I am even crazy for wanting games to be mostly complete.

yeah, i mean like the factory sticker on top. on a PS2 it will be white, with the holographic logo, and an abreviation of the games title. the xbox ones just have generic serial code, but i still keep them, but cube doesnt have any...so unless your good at telling the difference between a factory seal plastic, and Gamestop's back room shrink wrap, you might end up with a "new" gutted copy.

Hey, I can understand it... it's the equivalent of spine cards, really.

A thought: If the old Japanese HuCards didn't have the sticker on the back of the actual jewel case -- and instead applied them to the throw-away shrinkwrap -- you know we'd all be wanting those round stickers and some of us would pay top dollar for them.
