Games are meant to be played. To not do so is to deny them their function. You sir, participate in a counter-logical hobby.

I think in a way that' s what' s appealing about it. It' s difficult to find unopened games. The challenge is enjoyable in a way.

I think that most of use face the challenge of actually not opening it when we find them

I wonder if the pressure becomes too much to bear for some sealed game collectors, and it all ends in a furious binge of vintage gaming. Two days later they wake up dazed in a disheveled pile of torn cellophane.

hmm and you are a funny guy or what ?

So not something more interesting then sealed games, the stupid banner on the side of this site(AvP Requiem) does anyone think this game is going to be good and I wonder how much sony paid kikizo to put it up. This also brings me to the whole Advertisement that pops up every now and then for gears of war when I click on the forum link.


Yeah respond or not who cares.

DICKS EVERYWHERE!

Is that a good response Torr?

DICKS EVERYWHERE!

If he wants to stay, that' s his deal. SealedCollector, you' re welcome to keep posting in this thread, but I' ve got to say that it' s pretty apparent you' ve lost your target audience with the topic at hand.

Might I suggest posting in some of the other threads? Maybe creating a new thread about something not sealed-game related?

An unsealed games thread?

An unsealed games thread?

That' s the way we like our games

Maybe we need to invent a console that can read the games in the unsealed boxes ;) or maybe a new kind of dvd case that goes into a slot in a console.



But i like dvds they are shinny!

why do you want to collect sealed games in thr first place! i would jsut want to play them!!

im not judging or anything but i cant see the point at all and therefore want to be enlightened to the fun that collecting sealed games can be!

Very few obejcts that people collect are made to be collectors items.
Stamps are made to pay for the delivery of a letter.
Bottle caps are made to keep liquid inside the bottle.
Coins are made to trade with items.
Clothes are made to wear.
Toys are made to play with.
Just as games are made to play.
But all of those items are popular items to collect, without ever being used for their intended purposes. People who collect things rarely have much in common with the people who use the stuff they are collecting. Collectors belong to a group of their own.
I used to collect all sorts of things, but eventually I almost got mad because of all the worthless crap I had everywhere. So I quit. No more collecting for me.

If you are interested in the concept of collecting you can look it up on wikipedia.

I' m interested in the psychology behind the urge to collect stuff. Is it just a regular hobby or is it something more. Humans have a natural instinct of collecting things for our survival but real collectors seem to have some other reasons. Perhaps, something is missing in their life?

Collectors belong to a group of their own.

Aliens....

small update !

Collectors belong to a group of their own.

Sealed game collectors do too, theyre called virgins.
