When do you open your's?

[Ebraum]

Gotta know if it's just me.

[Dare]

its usually as soon as i get in the car, but once and awhile its when i get home

[jimbodan]

I used to open games when I got into the car, but now I wait until I play them, in case I decide to return/trade.

[SneakyPenguin]

Usually in the mall, or right outside in the car. I've had bad experiences with GBA games not in the box, and scratched discs/destroyed cases, so I open everything ASAP.

[bignick]

When I get home.

[magilacudy]

Outside of the store, usually in my car.

[crickett003]

usually at home

[ex0]

In the car if I'm not driving, home if I am.

[Dead of Knight]

Usually in the car, but I'm gonna be a little more wary of that because my manager says he plans on putting Oni into my Shadow Hearts: Covenant before I pick it up. I know he's joking, but I think for big releases I'll open them right outside the store. :wink:

[rabbitt]

I wait until I'm ready to play the game. I don't want to open the game and then decide that I don't want it.

[spidey]

When I'm going to play it. I don't like opened games that I haven't finished.

[FriskyTanuki]

I open cds in the car so I can listen to them, but I wait till I get home to open my games and dvds.

[FrankySox]

I open mine when I want to play them, right now I have a couple that I bought a few months back that I still haven't opened, but no hurry for me.

[JohnnyDrama]

I open my games as soon as I get home

[Moxio]

When I play it, almost always when I get home.

[SupremeNumNuts]

When I get in the car, its like a little mini Christmas everytime.



P.S - POST 100 \:D/

[thatstoobad]

i open the game when i play it, that way if i decide that i don't want it i can return it or sell it. i also wait in case i end up finding it cheaper elsewhere.

dorky fact: i usually tape my receipt to the game after i buy it to make sure i don't lose it in case i need it.

[sj41]

Except for the CC game when I got too many games, I open them in the car so I can just read over the manual untill I get home. I also get alot of my games used from Game Rush since they have great deals on the used games, so I don't even need to open many games anymore.

[Rodego]

I wait until I am in my car so that people won't think I am some kind of weirdo for openning it sooner. Only my wife thinks I am weird this way, but she's used to it by now

[willardhaven]

I opened it in the car when I didn't drive... now I usually wait until I get home.

[Kaijufan]

I usually open games and dvds in the car.

[Smell]

when i get into zee car

i like to read instruction booklet + im not the one thats driving

[shoobywizard88]

Usually when i get into the car.Something to read on the way home.

[MeGaWC27]

The minute I walk into my house, I open the game to test the game, which usually led me to playing it for a while :D

[PawnTakesKing]

I *MUST* open mine in the car and always read through the instruction manual while I'm sitting in the parking lot.

Nothing like the smell of a freshly opened game.

[sblymnlcrymnl]

DVDs and games as soon as I get home, CDs in the car for the ride home.

[RedvsBlue]

Apparently stores frown upon opening it before you get to the cash register, so I usually wait till I get to the car.

[Tricky]

I open my games when I get ready to play them.

[karsh]

I make my friends open stuff up for me in the car, since most of the time I'm the one that's driving.

[sisco1986]

In the car to make sure its the right game and thats it's in New Condition if its New or in good condition if Used.

[Birbo]

CD~ Open in the car

DVDs~ Open when I'm going to watch 'em

Games~ Depends. If it's something I've been waiting on, I'll open it in the car & read the instructions while I drive. Other games wait until I'm gonna play them.

And as soon as the game is opened, I HAVE TO smell it first. Weird, but I also love that fresh, new game smell.

[johnnyoski]

CDs get opened in the car and usually will get played right then too.
Games and DVDs don't get opened until I'm ready to play/watch them. I have about 7 games that are still sealed and I figure it makes them easier to sell/trade down the road if I never get to them.

[cmdryuk]

I usually pick up games during my work lunch break. If it's something I plan on playing soon I open it either in the car or at work, otherwise I don't open it until I get around to playing it. I have a pile of 10 or more games still in the shrink wrap from as long ago as Christmas. This site creates a terrible buying addiction that is more satisfying than my game playing addiction :(

[Doylerulez]

Depends what I bought, like if it's something I was really looking forward too or pre-ordered, than in the car. For something I got for cheap or will play eventually, then when I'm ready to play, hence I still have about 3 games sealed.

[Ericnmel99]

CD's= When im in my car
DVD's= When i watch the movie
Video Games= when i get home

[Tenacious D]

I wait until I am in my car so that people won't think I am some kind of weirdo for openning it sooner. Only my wife thinks I am weird this way, but she's used to it by now

Haha. Sounds all too familiar. :lol:

[flybrione]

I pop it opened when I am going to play it. I still have games sealed that I won't open until I want to give them a go through.

[chickenhawk]

I open games and DVDs when I am going to play/watch 'em. CD's on the other hand, are opened right away.

[SilveRaven]

I usually open most everything right away when I get in the car.

There are some interesting arguments for waiting till you play, I think I might start doing that (of course that is usually when I get home, but with the great deals on this site sometimes it is later).

[Zmonkay]

when I get home, so I can put them in a CD binder

[Derwood43]

I usually open in the car or at home.

[Corrado]

I open them in the car, to make sure they're in good shape in case i need to return them. CD's i want to open so i can listen to them for the ride home.

[Gameboy415]

I used to open them in the car to make sure the disc wasn't damaged. When I bought Marvel Vs Capcom for Dreamcast back in the day, I opened it up and a huge chunk of the disc was missing. I took it right back and got a new copy. Ever since that day I would check every game until the big CC sale.....now I actually have a few sealed games on my shelf...

[1SwtDeception]

i open dvds whenever im gonna watch them.. unless it's used or something i check right away at the counter or whatever

games.. i open them in the car if used i check them in the store

cd.. right away in the car

reminds me of fast foods to check everything cause i always check my food now right when i get them.. since many incidents involve me not getting my grub =[

[Zenithian Legend]

I used to open games when I got into the car, but now I wait until I play them, in case I decide to return/trade.


That's how I was, then I developed videogame OCD and now I try to keep all my games in mint condition, or sealed in case I want to trade them.

[menchirox]

If its brand new, i don't open it till i use it. But if its pre-owned (it IS sealed sometimes) then i open it right there to make sure it is the right game, then immediately test it out once i get home...

[doraemonkerpal]

with all the peeps reporting that their game came with an aol cd instead of a game cd, i usually open the games after i purchase them unless i'm using it for a trade.

[chess380]

In the car.

[Graystone]

kinda depends if it is something I bought cause it was cheap or I kinda wanted it I open when it I am bout to play it.

if something I have been waiting for I open as soon as I get in the car.

[QuiteBitterBeing]

When I'm going to play it.

[chosen1s]

If it's a gift, then right away. Otherwise, I wait until I have time to play it. Who knows what the value will be and by the time I get around to it, I might get a "used" copy for 1/2 the price and sell the new one for 3 times what I just paid.
