Default Re: Sealed vs Open

Almost every single CE I own is sealed, with a few exceptions which came unsealed (Star Wars: Force Unleashed II for example)

I don't keep them sealed for future profit though - Well, that's not the primary reason. Rather, more to keep them in nice condition, where any game I am interested in actually playing I will buy a second, cheaper, standard copy. A lot of the bonus DLC in most newer CE's I can often obtain elsewhere, either from a friend or someone else who isn't interested in DLC, and a lot of the other tat that comes with CE's these days I can live without


SteelBooks can scratch really easily, ruining the paint job, and you're only going to re-seal them in some kind of poly bag anyway, so best to keep them sealed and maintain their value and just buy a standard copy to play. Obviously I will buy a CE on release day and then wait a few months until the standard version can be had for under a tenner on eBay
