'Systems and boxes', or 'How does this thing go in here?'

[Mac-Abre]

I've bought a couple of systems and always receive them in some haphazard state in their original box. Anyone have any info on how to properly pack theses systems back in their original box?

Saturn
SNES
NES

Hell, use this post for anyone with questions on this. :)

I don't know if this will help, but the most important thing for me is saving the styrofoam. That way you pretty much know which way to stuff the system without it floating around inside the box with the rest of the things. The styrofoam also helps keep the rest of the things (cables, controllers,etc...) in their proper place. If you have no styrofoam, then try maybe the bubble cushioned plastic wrap. It can save the system from any abuse in case it is dropped or something along those lines. You can stuff the box with a good amount of the plastic bubble wrap and snuggle the system inside. :)

Good luck. I'm sure there are some kind people here with the original packaging. However, it would be interesting to see if the packaging changes on successive releases of the same system. e.g. Super Nintendo w/Super Mario World as opposed to the new-style, compact system.

How would one put a Model 2 SNES in an original style box? I'm confused. Anyhow, the Model 2 has its own package.

Pretty much just look and...well, if you've got the styrofoam it's pretty simple, really. Just gets tight pretty easy.
