Best place to get 500 pictures printed?

Okay so I'm making physical copies of all my steam games (don't ask.) and since I have nearly 500, what is the best place to get all 500 printed, and for the best price?

You want to copy 500 games onto DVD discs from Steam?

Is this even possible?

And I'm asking anyways, why would you want 100's of dvd copies that would need 100s of cases, artwork etc.

Save the discs and just buy a few TB's and save them there. Done.

I personally don't know if downloading the games from Steam and burning them to a disc is even possible but it might be if the games are downloaded as ISO's. Then just get a program like MagicISO.

Wally... There's a backup feature.
I must have been really tired when I made this. I meant where can I get the physical COVERS printed. I don't think I'm gonna make all the discs but I'm getting a big bookshelf.... and they'll look damn good on it.
I have 472 games at time of writing.

I don't understand why anyone would do this since your games are stored in the cloud. buying 472 DUAL LAYER DVDs would cost you apx 500 dollars alone. Then printing out a covers at maybe 30 cents a piece is 141 dollars. Then spending time burning each game would take forever. You can burn maybe 8 games a day and it would take 2 solid months of burning dvds (which I'm not sure your DVD burner would handle). Then add another 20 bucks for a new dvd burner or 2. That sounds like a load of fun.

I burned all my Metallica DVD's and printed out the covers for the cases.

I have maybe 30 or 40 with art. Do they look very nice, yes?

But even doing 40 was a major pain in the ass. You have to buy the kits, the cases etc. Get the proper labels, align your printer, print and cut out the labels etc. Its very time consuming and frustrating. I can't even imagine doing 472 games, most of which will probably need 2+ discs which would mean like 800 cases. That's,,, insane. It would also cost a TON of money in printer INK. Plus you would have to find and download the covers that are made for printing.

Luckily for me there is a website dedicated to Metallica bootleg art made for the dvds/cds. There might be one for games, i don't know.

Also, if you do do this, you probably already know, but in case you don't, DO NOT put labels on the disc themselves. They peel off inside the DVD players. Unless you print them on directly.

I do have a printer that prints onto special discs but the discs are expensive as fuck.

GUYS, I JUST WANT TO MAKE THE CASES WITH ARTWORK. I DONT WANT TO MAKE THE DISCS.
I WANT TO FILL MY SHELF WITH THE CASES AND ARTWORK TO SHOW I HAVE A BIG COLLECTION.
I meant at a store like kinkos staples or office depot where it isn't too expensive to do so, not making them myself.

whoops. I missed the "pictures" part in your OP.

You'll probably need to save the artwork onto a flash drive and take it down to a local Walgreen's, staples, whatever and mass print them. Not sure if either of them print CD case type though.

You would probably have to supply the place with the dvd templates. They would have to align their printers etc.

Still going to be quite expensive and painstaking.

Just take a screenshot of your collection, blow it up, print it, frame it.. lol

Yea, also a ridiculous waste of space to put up 500 fake dvd's.

Also, wouldn't you feel kinda dumb when someone wants to take them out and look at them......

or like borrow a game?

1. Make a text file listing all of your games
2. Print it out (larger font so it can be read)
3. Glue to your wall (and maybe your carpet, you have a lot of games)
4. ????
5. Profit (not really, there is nothing to profit from. Just shows that you have no life)

Epic Responds, "no dude, actually i just made 500 fake game cases and decorated them.... but you can look at it."
Not like you could borrow Steam games even if they were physical retail copies.
