Default Re: What Games did you break your "RULES" for?

I broke my rules for the recently released Sniper: Ghost Warrior and Call Of Juarez: The Cartel CE's which were exclusive to Austrian retailer Game4game.at - Usually I don't touch Euro imports, but these were so stupidly rare I simply had to have them, even though the game cases are entirely in German. I may obtain the UK variations at a later date once they have gone down in price

I have also broken my rules twice recently in regards to the Vanquish, Star Wars: Force Unleashed II, and Yakuza 4 SteelBooks, which did not come sealed in the usual manner. Usually I only accept games which come fully sealed with cellophane or shrinkwrap, but I did make an exception for these few as the manufacturer apparenty didn't bother to seal them.

Likewise, I made the same exception for the last Harry Potter film which was released as a Blu-Ray SteelBook, which also did not come sealed. To date, this is the first SteelBook I have come across which has not come sealed upon release, and all retailers confirmed this was the case. I was not very happy about it, but what're ya gonna do? I'm not going to forfeit a complete set just because of one minor manufacturing issue

Why this rule? Must miss out on a lot of awesome CEs just because there's no plastic around them.

I've recently readjusted my rules from PC and Playstation to just playstation and sold off everything else so I currently don't really own anything breaking my rules. I did however break my rules for the Splinter Cell Conviction CE so I could get the Sam Fisher figure.

Everythink i own is Playstation 3 baby, thats my rule....

Of course i do own a few PS2 regular games like most people do

My only exception has been the Call of Juarez Cartel Outlaw Edition The Polish 1000 pieces version (PC) which me and my buddy bbki are getting from mikel, technically i dont own it yet but its coming real soon and ill just swap out the PC version for a PS3 version assuming theres nothing marked PC other than the game
