Sealed vs Open

[sleepwalker]

Why don't you guys just buy a second PS3 / Xbox 360 and DOWNLOAD games, haha, j/k.

All my PS3 stuff I always open. The only things I am going to keep sealed are PC Big Box editions of old games, because I guess that's what I "actually collect" now. And PS3 CE's - even though I do buy them for every game that I am going to play, it doesn't feel like exactly "collecting", because it is not purposeful collecting. As for SteelBooks, even though I do collect them, keeping them sealed or not isn't a question, because normally they are not sealed.

I open mine because I buy them to enjoy not to resell.

Just like Toy Story 2 untouched & unloved (well played that is).
I would say if you spend over £100 or $150 on one then yes get a std one?

Okay this might be bad for many people here.... but i don't want to insult anyone It's just my opinion and how i feel about this.

So... i collect CE's for 3 months only and i open all of them , I have no purpose to resell ever. I tried to keep one sealed but i couldn't do it , after 1 day i opened it .

I think keeping a CE sealed is a waste of my time , space and money(if i have no purpose of selling ). Opening a CE for me is the best and most satisfying part. I can't spent money just to have a box with shrink wrap sitting on my shelf.

If you want to resell a CE to make more money or you are rich enough to buy 2x Ce's because you can do it, then i understand. but keeping CE's sealed just to sit in your shelf forever i can't understand it.

Also i hate VGA grade things I believe they brainwash people just to make more money

I have a few sealed things a few were just lucky and i have a double of, and others i just havent gotten around to playing or dont have the shelf room for, usually i open things but recently i ran out of room

But i understand your view
