There are plenty of times you need nice high-res box art images. Maybe you need to print a replacement. Maybe you want to do some photoshop work. Maybe you just want some new desktop wallpaper.

On a game's page on the site, the box art image url would normally look like this:
But if you delete the boxart_160h part, so that it reads like this:

Note it doesn't work for all games, especially older ones, but more recent titles should be good to go.
