Do you have any NIB Sealed games?
« on: April 21, 2016, 10:51:23 pm »
I have a few NIB games that I got in trades a while ago. They make great display items if you don't intend on ever playing the game It works out.    I l love the feel of the shiny cellophane. It reminds me of being a kid and opening the games on Christmas lol.

The only sealed stuff I have are games I haven't gotten around to playing yet, with a couple exceptions. I probably won't open either of my copies of Summon Night 5 (I had a Japanese copy before the English NA version was announced), since the North American physical release came with codes for the digital version.
Currently playing: Persona 5 (PS4)

I have a few sealed "retro" games.  I've found them all in the wild.  Why there was a sealed copy of The Jungle Book at a yard sale, I'll never know.  I think it's cool that they never got opened.  I'm not a sealed collector though.   I don't seek them out. 

Then, there are all the 360, PS3, Wii, and WiiU games that I never got around to playing.  I found most of them cheap and bought them on a whim.  I just don't play as many games as I'd like to.

No, I play all my games. Keeping games sealed is just not my thing.

No, I don't like to have my games sealed since they're for playing. After buying games from a store, I'll take it home, open it up and put it on the shelf even if I don't plan on playing it anytime soon.

Yep, sure do. Not too many old ones, but plenty of modern.

I have several sealed games, but with a few exceptions they all will be opened someday so I can play them. Probably the coolest sealed game I ever came across was Majora's Mask. Found it at the flea market for $5 a few years back.

Yes they make easy for trades because there are lots of people collecting them.

The only sealed game I own is Elminage Original LE, and that's only because it came with a digital copy included. At this point I don't think I'll open it, but this is an exception.

While I understand the attractivity of sealed games I cannot justify spending huge amounts of money only to have an item with some shrinkwrap around it (I only collect GB/GBA retro games).
I have a sealed copy of GTA1 for the PSX though. It looks really beautiful on the shelf but then again, I only took it as it was dirt cheap. I am more into collecting games without spending too much money, putting them into box protectors and enjoying their uniform look on the shelf. :)

This is my philosophy, too. The game is going to be played, so the shrink wrap needs to go.

I have many sealed games but I do not put a premium on them. I would have purchased them because they were a game rather than a sealed game. I will still mark an item as sealed in my collection notes. Nothing I have is worth more because it is sealed. If I did ever end up with a game that had an increased value because it was sealed (like a NES game or something) I would make effort to be rid of it and get it to someone who cares about such things.

Legend of Kay I just got and waiting till I go play it to open it. The other 2 I already have playable copies of I actually picked them up on clearance for trade bait expecting to pay $15 but ended up getting them for the Clear-out price of $0.10

Sealed retro games are too easy to fake. Besides, I wanna play the games I own. Hell, I made a show about it. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKtghYbCv4wlwHjhqtpZDEKw8uVYGc7Qr
