I agree totally with the re selling part...though the scenario is going to be slightly in favor of the sealed version in comparison to any opened one. That's the main reason I keep my stuff sealed and order separately another copy to play, if I like the game that is.
I do understand the whole fuzz around enjoying the items inside a collectors edition...perhaps age does matter. I am 35, I play Skyrim, Bioshock and Fallout occasionally, but I just like the clean slick feel of new items standing side by side on a shelf and look at them every so often nibbling some popcorn...

Hey guys, joined the forums after trying to look into what exactly Irrational Games gave me for being first in line at the LA launch event. The IG rep (I assume was a rep) told me it was 1 of 15 limited editi...and I couldn't exactly hear the rest of what she said since the crowd was so loud. Thanks to you guys I now have closure. The envelope itself was also signed by Ken Levine, Troy Baker (Booker), Courtnee Draper (Elizabeth), Kiff VandenHeuvel (Comstock), and various devs.

Were they all signed like this? I'm very curious. I'll be sure to post photos when I get the chance.

...Now as a huge game collector, I think I'm gonna like it here.

But it's everyone own choice. But I understand why you choose your path.

Had to chime in here. I'm one of those Star Wars hardcore collectors as you say. Yes, I have numerous figures, dolls, toys sealed. But that is completely different from art books or signed memorabilia.

I just recently went through this discussion with a few good friends. I own all of the Titan exclusives gaming art books with signed lithographs. When I first got them I couldn't open them, that little innocuous collector tick wouldn't let me. But friend's told me 'hey you bought an art book, with signed art inside. You spent all the money just to look at the cover?'. And they're right. Keeping toys sealed is one thing, keeping limited art or signed things sealed is completely different.

So the book is not signed but the CoA is?

I'm hoping in the future companies has some type of disclosure agreement that states you cannot sell what you're buying for X amount of time. Sure, you can't stop someone from selling their own property, though perhaps it will slow it down.

It would be fantastic if that audition ends under $200.
