I know this is a bit of a taboo subject amongst the general gaming community, but it's news all the same, and may interest the small minority to whom it applies.
A new forum site has recently just been set up aimed at collector's who prefer to collect factory sealed video-games, called Sealed Game Heaven ( http://www.sealedgameheaven.com ) and has already so far been reported on by Kotaku.com, InsertCredit.com, and so on ...
The forum features in-depth guides and discussions regarding sealed games from all regions, as well as useful information regarding what to look out for, as well as the differences between factory seals and reseals. It also has another section where members have posted pictures of their impressive sealed game collections for your viewing pleasure!
Even if you are not a fan of this unique collecting phenomenon, it may still fascinate you or even provide enlightenment!
so what do you think about this type of collecting games?
It's cool that people enjoy this type of thing. I've got a sealed copy to the sequel of Keio Flying Squadron for the Sega Saturn...or is it still sealed. I can't remember. The game was only released in Japan. Though I have to say a prefer to play what I purchase over collecting them.
Well as soon as saw your message I searched and searched and found several games that I forgot I had and finally found the game which unfortunately I had opened. I remember that I was going to experiment with something but it ended up being too complicated so I gave up. If you still want to see it I can can still post the pics of it if you are interested.
I think it's actually a good thing. It could mean more sales of games as people will buy two games, one to play and another to collect. It also will allow games to remain around longer thus meaning they will be preserved for history.
I know that most game developers won't reap any benefits from the second sale of video games but you still will have the pride knowing that someone liked your game enough to preserve it perfectly as it was given to them. _______________________________________________________________ Regards....
