They also make acid-free magazine-size bags, which might allow you to
put some slightly larger boxes (and certainly EA flats) in them. You
should be able to find them at your local comic book store. I believe
they also make special bags for Life magazine (which, as you know, has
non-standard dimensions), but don't know where you'd find them. And,
doing a (tiny) bit of research, I discovered that they also make
"thick" magazine bags which are 1/4" wider than standard ones.
They're used primarily for Playboy & Heavy Metal magazines.
(BTW, comic bags actually come in slightly different sizes, but not
enough to help much with software boxes.)
