In a crowded household—especially one with lots of pets or children—having everything out in the open makes accidents and potential damage to your games and accessories all too likely.

Anyone who wants to first and foremost protect their gaming collection should consider closed storage options, like this small deluxe storage unit from Prepac. Featuring a closing and locking design, this small but mighty cabinet can store tons of different kinds of games, thanks to adjustable interior shelving.

BEST LONG-TERM STORAGE

If you don’t need to show off your game collection or have it easily accessible at all times, longer-term storage items like bins and large cases may be right for you. These are often made to be locking, weatherproof, and stackable, making them great for storage units, attics, basements, and closet space.

Of the many plastic storage bins out there, IRIS’s element-resistant storage boxes are some of the best. These bins can store up to 25 pounds of games, consoles, and other prized gaming gear. The lids open and close with four latches, and are reinforced for easy stacking. Made BPA-, PVC-, and acid-free, you can rest assured that long-term storage won’t cause damage to your gaming goods. Like many weathertight plastic bins, they have a strong smell when you first open them, so you may want to air them out for a few days before putting items inside.
