Crap hobby. Has everything to do with collecting and nothing to do with gaming.

Who the fuck wants a PAL copy of The Getaway sealed or otherwise? :|

Fucking pathetic. Why on earth would you buy a game to collect it? Games are meant to be played. :(

I want that Hello Kitty Dreamcast. :?

I bought it for its aesthetical appeal alone, and have never had any desire to actually use it!
A pink Dreamcast with a white karaoke unit would be the last thing I would call aesthetically pleasing

'Weakly' sealed game collector, IMO

I thought the same thing, until I read the interview and found out sealed collectors buy multiple copies, sealed, and unsealed to which to play the game. So the only logical reason they are collecting, besides bragging, is for the resell value when they eventually cash out of the hobby.

What a waste. The main reason for games as investments is because you can play them in the meantime. Rather than collecting sealed unplayable games, these guys could be researching, purchasing options, and making more money in a month than they could over the lifetime of the collection. Plus, if not for the newness of those games, that's a pretty mediocre top 10.

Den, we've been patient (perhaps a little too patient) when it comes to all the self-promotion, but the staff has had enough - you are officially on notice. So much as crane your neck towards that sealed games site again and I will personally recommend you for immediate banning.
