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.

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.
-
Yeah I think I only have Persona 3 FES and Dragon Quest Monster 2 still sealed.
-
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. :)

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

I got 3
Muramasa the Demon Blade (Wii)
Sin & Punishment Star Successor (Wii)
The Legend of Kay (Wii U)
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 (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKtghYbCv4wlwHjhqtpZDEKw8uVYGc7Qr)

I have a few here and there that I haven't gotten to. Only two do I really not plan on opening, and those are Class of Heroes 2G, and Summon Knight 5 due to the fact that their numbered, and I have them digitally to play. I can't say they're sealed because they'll be worth a ton when I'm old and gray, but who knows. Plus, I might as well keep them sealed for protection. Other than that, I have a few sealed CE/LEs like Tales of Symphina.
-
I definitely have some, but mostly because of backlog. I also enjoy unboxing items on stream before I play them. Seems like a nice thing to share with people since I love physical editions so much.
-
I have a couple Atari 2600 games sealed, including one for the Supercharger. A couple floppy disk games for the Tandy Coco too. I have other ways of playing these so there's no need to open them
-
Battletoads nes found it for 5 bucks back in 2005
-
I have a sealed copy of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 I bought at a charity auction that has the autographs of pretty much the whole American voice cast.
Otherwise, anything I have sealed is just because I haven't gotten to playing it yet.
-
When I buy a new game I keep it sealed til I want to play it. This way if time passes and I never get to the game I have it sealed.
So I have many sealed games on PS2, Xbox, PS3, XB360, Wii, Wii U, XBone & PS4. I do have a few retro sealed games and I have this guilt about opening them. lol I once bought a bunch of sealed Atari Jaguar games cheap and I opened them to try them out. I told this to a fellow collector and he yelled at me like I committed a crime saying that there was now one less sealed copy in the world. I didn't care, I wanted to play the games.
I don't hunt for retro sealed games due to cost and I do want to play them, every time I happen to get a sealed game I always want to find another loose copy. But if for some reason I find a sealed game at a garage sale I don't hesitate picking it up if cheap, but if I stop at a game store, a game expo or shop online I don't even look at sealed retro games.
Probably the rarest sealed game I own is Nosferatu on SNES.
