    Yeah, I've been on sealedgameheaven.com. I am resistered there. Don't worry. I know it's my point of view; collecting is a solely subjective hobby. It is all about collecting what is pleasing to oneself.

    For me, though, I like to be able to at least look at the game cart or CD. Otherwise, I'd be wondering if it could be a fake seal and inside is a decoy or something. The only way to know for sure what is inside is to open it, and then it is not sealed anymore. A true dilemma.

    Anyhow, I am not knocking your collection. I'd seen it already it on DP. As I stated earlier, it is very nice indeed.

    Personally, I wouldn't care about owning hundreds of copies though if they looked genuine outside. I wouldn't open them anyway - so I'll never find out (and some buyer wouldn't do it as well I assume. And if they are really new, genuine games (which is of course easy to proof) then I'd have no fear of owning counterfeits).

    Well,for Dreamcast i bought them on release day (or month of release day) then i'm pretty sure it's really factory sealed.
    For other,i hope i got expertise enough during all those years to recognize a fake from a true factory sealed game.
    But as told earlier,only 30% maybe of my stuff is factory sealed.
    Famicom,Suiper Famicom,N64,DD64,Megadrive,32X,Gamegear,PC-FX fullsets are not factory sealed for example.
    PCE Hucard/CD/SCD/ACD is 70%,Dreamcast is 100%...but that won't "categorize" me into a factory sealed addict,right?

    Considering that you have practically more than 1000 factory sealed games... well yes, I'd say you are still one of the rather addicted sealed collectors here :p

    I have more than 1000 factory sealed games for SURE.
    But still,it is 15% of my collection..That's like somebody having 20 games,and 3 of them are factory sealed..does that make you a factory sealed addict? I'm not sure.. :)

    But it needs more conviction to buy 1000 sealed games than to buy 3, doesn't it? :p

    Yeah,but it needs even more to buy the 7000 other ones,not sealed :)
    That was my point..i'm not desperate after a factory sealed game,if i get ti for a good price,that's ok,if not,well i pass and stay with my mint used copy.

    I'm not talking of course of collections which were never sealed (MD,Super Famicom,Famicom)

    I think that statement alone relieves you from any Sealed-Game-Junkie allegations. That's kinda my position as well. If I get a sealed game, good; I won't open it. But I won't go crazy (put a lot of time or money into) trying to get one.

    If i can get a factory sealed one for +/- 20% more than what i could sell my mint used copy for, i'd go for it.

    Well,it is 4 years old,they did it in 2005,approx. same time than Coca Cola PSP.
    This is a not for sale DS system...contest prize.
    There is TONS of limited systems, but i enjoy Pepsi more than Coca Cola (i'm talking about the beverage),so i wanted it ^^

    Pepsi cola is better than coca cola, the is no comparison avaible !
    And these DS pepsi is so cool unlike the coc PSP who is to simple-minded without any real custom or accessories.
