Just wondering, do any GAFfer's own any rare *new* and *sealed* copies of games?
Was just checking e-bay and 1 game I have sealed seems to be getting more and more expensive.
Probably won't sell it cause it's not that much in the grand scheme of things...
Though yeah, any of you people have stuff like this? :P
I don't, oh well.
I own alot of PS1 sealed games. Have 3 more games before I finish off my sealed PS1 collection. Got about 40 games sealed myself
I had NiGHTS for Saturn in the big box factory sealed, sold it for $70 a while back.
I also have a copy of Windows 3.1 sealed with a giant sticker on it that says NEW, but that's hardly relevant.

Nope. The closest I have is a sealed collector's edition of Kingdom Hearts: Dream, Drop, Distance because Amazon sent my order twice by mistake. New copies of it are going from $130 on Amazon right now.
As for my other copy I opened it and the crystal case is on my 3DS right now.

I have an Ocarina sealed that I inherited from an aunt. I think its worth a pretty penny.
i have a sealed copy of w101
with its success it's bound to become rare at some point right

I have tons of sealed games
The real question is "how rare are they?"
I mean I have a sealed Terranigma, a sealed Illusion of Time and a sealed Secrets of Evermore

No, I open everything.
Ocarina of Time/Master Quest WW preorder disc, though some searching a couple of years back seemed to indicate that it wasn't worth all that much.
No
I have a sizable collection, but I have played every game I own.
(except VF4FT... for now.)

Sometimes I don't open a game if I don't know when I will play it -- if it's immediately backlogged.
Although this has bit me in the ass.
I got a copy of DQ8 for PS2 from Best Buy at one point when it was on sale. About a year and a half later, I finally opened it up to play it. And somehow, someone had removed the disc and put it back on the shelf looking sealed. That sucked.
But normally it works out. I bought some SMT games for PS2 (Devil Summoner 1 and 2 maybe) which I never got around to playing and realized I probably wouldn't for a long time and didn't have the interest level for them. So they got sold for over $100 each. I was happy with that considering I paid about $15 for them.
TL;DR: Yes, I keep games sealed until I decide to play them, in most cases.

Ni no Kuni wizard edition perhaps?
I've never been good at collecting. I would rather get use out of something and enjoy it then keep it wrapped up for potential future investment. That's just me though. I've had really rare Vinyl before that were sealed, and I ended up taking them out and spinning them. I don't regret it.
I buy games to play them. Not to keep them sealed and look at how pretty they are.
I have a sealed copy of GTA San Andreas for PC that includes Hot Coffee.
Too Human. I don't have an Xbox, but I got it as a tournament prize.
I have a sealed copy of Paper Mario for N64, though I don't know if it's actually rare or worth anything.
I also have sealed copies of FFX-2 and Suikoden Tactics. Both of those I found really cheap, like in the 10$ range, and never got around to playing.

I have Halo 2 Limited edition steelbook still in shrink wrap, MA15+ Australian version. I never had an Xbox until I got a 360 in 2008, but I just borrowed Halo 2 from my brother and kept mine sealed. It isn't especially rare I think, but it looks amazing and feels so chunky and perfect. Most steelbook cases rust.
Speaking of which, how do you guys keep your steelbook cases from rusting? My Bioshock is actually eroding some of the paint!!! Do we have a thread on how to maintain this stuff, like re-wrapping it? Cheers.
Oh yeah, I had the Pokémon games from gen 2 onwards in perfect condition, but some little shit crushed them. Also had Oracle of Seasons and Ages. Same fucking thing. Pisses me off.

Only reason I have mine sealed is cause I borrowed the game from a friend,
liked it and bought it when I saw it in a bargain bin at some mall... :P

Videogames are such a volatile market. You can't even trust an Atlus release to guarantee a rise in price anymore.
I have 2 zone of the Enders 2 Japanese ver. for the ps2 sealed. I also have mass effect 2 special edition for the xbox 360 sealed, god of war 2 for the ps2 sealed and omega boost for the ps one sealed.Just wondering, do any GAFfer's own any rare *new* and *sealed* copies of games?

Only rare things I own are Xenoblade and a Pikachu 3DS XL and i've opened both of them... I kind of regret opening the 3DS since I was already using a blue XL.
The fun thing about having rare games is when a company like GamesQuestDirect prints new copies, officially, often with no clear distinction the copy is a second print run.
Then it gets hilarious when you try to sell your backlog on a place like Half.com, and they intentionally undercut your price on a game to sell their reprinted stock. So you're getting into a pricing battle against someone who can legitimately make their own copies at production/licensing cost.
Don't know if they still do it.

Sadly I sold off my older sealed Snes games a long time ago when I needed money. I had FF3, Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger all sealed. I got good money for them and was desperate to pay bills so had no choice really :(
Only thing I have now is Ni No Kuni Wizards edition sealed. And the not so rare at all GTA IV that came with the safety deposit box - still sealed as well.

I have a factory sealed copy of this.
Literally just sitting at my mom's place collecting dust. She mentioned it to me on Thanksgiving actually how she still remembered that she had it. Asked me if it was worth anything and I didn't really know what to say.
So, what say you GAF?

Yeah. I have brand new factory sealed Metal Gear Solid (PS1). It even still has the plastic hanger intact that you would hang on the shelf hook, though it hasn't been lifted.
Final Fantasy Mystical Quest. I got it a few months ago with other random SNES games for $45
No but I saw some jacknuts down in Florida trying to sell resealed rare games as new at a flea market. Earthbound and stuff like that.
The only sealed game I own is an extra copy of MGS4. Maybe one day it will be worth something. I doubt many old PS3 exclusive games will get ported.
I own a sealed copy of MGS3's Persistence disk. I know that's supposed to be rare, but I'm not sure exactly how much it would sell for.
I have a copy of Starfox on the SNES still factory sealed that I paid $2 for and sealed copy of Final Fantasy Tactics (the Greatest Hits) copy that I found at Goodwill for $3.
I do not. I'm not much of a collector. Well, the things I collect I choose to play.
I have a factory sealed mint condition copy of Tetris up for sale right now on Amazon for the going rate if that counts. Its not tengen but its a pretty rare deal to get a factory sealed mint Tetris of any kind.
From the yellowing on the hanger's adhesive area to the particular style of shrinkwrapping and its wrinkling, all the way to the lack of any hinge fade or whitening its 100% mint sealed and authenticated.

I own a factory sealed review copy of Dragon Warrior 7. Sadly the only thing that indicates its a review copy is the hole punched though the UPC. Plus, one of the discs came lose, which can't be good for value.
I have a sealed LE of Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon, the one with the plushie. I was actually planning on opening it once I got a chance to play it and I never did. I don't even have that PS2 anymore.
I own a sealed copy of snatcher I'm pretty proud of.
Still got a sealed copy of Metroid Prime Trilogy (Steelbook of course).
Used to have a sealed Super Turrican 2 until I opened it to play it a few years back.
Current rarest/sealed would be Packy and Marlon.

If you ever get a PS2 again, Raidou 2 was reprinted so you can play it guilt-free!Originally Posted by akachan ningen

(but you should probably keep the LE sealed)
Halo 2 Metal Case? Not sure if rare... Has the 711 coupons still
This is the only game that I have sealed that will probably stay sealed since I have no desire or need to play it.I have a factory sealed copy of this.

Otherwise I eventually open all of my games. I do have a sealed copy of FF7, though I don't think that's rare. Oh and Earthworm Jim 2 on the Saturn.
Any other sealed games I own are still fairly new.
I have a Bioshock 1 Limited Edition Xbox sealed.. opened the PC version instead.. just checked OMG $400+ on Ebay/Amazon?!
I feel like a broken record at this point cuz I've posted it a bajillion times, but:
I got rid of most of my collection but I did have all of these sealed.
Dead Space LE Xbox (the one that was only available from EA's website)
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory LE Xbox
Futurama Xbox
MGS3 Subsistance LE PS3
I got rid of them as I stopped collecting games a few years ago.
