Hello From Arizona US

[Rev.Krazy]

Just wanted to stop by and say hello. I've been on the fence for the last year about what type of video game collection I wanted to build. For the last couple years I was buying up any and all 360 PS3 games I could find in an effort to collect every game this generation. It recently dawned on me that I don't get very much enjoyment out of collecting this way. I had picked up a couple of collectors editions during that time. However, it wasn't until I picked up Diablo 3 collectors edition that I realized that I get a lot more enjoyment looking at the all cool little extra's that I get with CE's and decided I rather fill my shelves with steel books and CE's rather than flimsy plastic cases. To me going back and look through the neat extra's is almost a good as playing the game its self.

So I have a very small collection (about 6 or so) but I've been trading in my games and have begun reinvesting in CE's. The most difficult thing about collecting these is that I'm on the fence if I should buy or keep them sealed. I would like to have my collection grow in the value but at the same time I want to open and enjoy them. I'm not one for double dipping because I feel it's a waste of money on an already expensive hobby. Not to mention some sealed edition go for double or even triple the original cost.

Would love to hear what some of your personal opinions are on sealed or un sealed collecting.

I'm glad I came across this is place because it's amazing how little information is released on CE's editions and it's nice to come to one places to look up info on them.

So hello.

OH and I wish every limited edition would include a certificate of what number out how many your game actually is. HA
