How particular (anal) are you about your games?

[Ryu Kazama]

Kind of like you, OP. I'm a lot more relaxed these days but generally I won't buy unsealed, obviously unless it's used or I've delayed something too long that the rare sealed copies are gone (e.g. some of Konami's games).

Dings on steelbooks and cardboard packaging annoy me a lot though. It should become standard for places like Zavvi, GAME and shopto to send something that has cardboard packaging (Demon's Souls Phantom Edition, GT5) in a padded/foamed cardboard box. Hell, I'd pay £2 extra just for that peace of mind. Of course, dents still do occur with this but the chances are reduced so much further. Of course, if the item is coming from across the globe e.g. Japan, then I can be a little more forgiving simply because of the lengthy transit period. But from North of England to London? Get out...

In rare cases I'll double/triple binge. Very rare though.
