When do you "break the seal?"

Post by **sabrage** » Fri Mar 09, 2012 5:21 pm

You're all gamers, so I'm sure you know the feeling: months of waiting, watching every video, looking at every single screenshot. Finally, the day comes, you finally have this game in your hands.... But when do you open it? I usually end up unwrapping everything right away, look at it once, and then put it on my shelf. I've had Mass Effect 2 and KotOR 2 like that since they were released, and I'm not sure I'll ever get around to playing them.

Now-a-days there isn't too much to see in the box, so I wait until I'm ready to play it. For example I still have Fallout: New Vegas sealed for the 360. I'll open it when I'm ready to play.

Plastic wrap comes off instantly. When I was back at Amazon and had my games delivered there I'd go and read the manual at my next "bathroom break".

Same here. My copy of Super Mario Galaxy 2 is still sealed, and will stay that way until I get around to playing it.

I have very little patience, so the seal is usually broken off as soon as i get home.
I would read the manual in the bathroom or when im eatting.

Same here, too. Not that I get brand new current gen games, but every sealed game I get I wait until I want to play it before unwrapping it.

So you guys break the seal when you break the seal? I think that calls for some Xzibit.

I have gobs of games still in their shrink. Evidently I'm wayyy behind. I went on an opening binge last year to collect my Nintendo points though.

Seal comes off the second I get to my car with the game, even if I won't be playing it for a while. I am a manual smeller too, and i'm not ashamed of it!

I totally thought of something else when I read the thread title... After the third beer usually

I usually open my games on the way home from the store or else first thing when I get home.

I don't buy games new very often but the few times I have, I didn't waste any time opening them. I was so on the fence about Skyward Sword, in a way I wanted to keep it sealed but at the same time I wanted to play it. I didn't have the extra $70 to spend on another copy so I pretty much opened it as soon as I got home and actually started playing it like a week later. haha
