Question:
How many games do you own that you haven't opened yet?
0, Can't wait to crack 'em open and play 'em
1-5, I'll get around to 'em eventually.
6 or more, "Open them!?!?"

Occasionally I've seen posts where someone "just opened" or "hasn't even opened" a title.
For me, I've got 1-5. Some games I've bought because of a sale or deal, but just haven't gotten around to playing.

I buy my games to play, so somewhere along the line the box (or the file
) gets opened.

If I buy a game to play I always open them right away. I have bought sealed NES games of which I own more than 6 that I'll never open (due to rarity/value), so I voted for the last one

I have about 50 sealed games.
But many of them are demos and e-reader cards and stuff.

I've got a few sealed games. Off the top of my head I know I have them for Xbox, PS2, N64, 7800, 2600 and SNES. I had a few sealed Genesis games but I opened all those when I sifted out all my doubles. The Atari games I may leave sealed since I have extra loose carts for all of them. The rest will get opened. I have no desire to collect sealed games.
The one thing about shrink wrap is that it will keep shrinking. I haven't heard this as an issue for video games but it's a big one for record collectors. Leaving LP's sealed will eventually ruin the sleeve and possibly warp the record The shrink wrap keeps shrinking as it ages and it eventually starts rounding out the corners. I've found a few sealed LP's that the shrink wrap was so tight the corners even started to bend.
Obviously this won't make a difference for CD games or ones that have plastic cases like Genesis or Master System though I suppose the wrap could eventually split and unseal the game all by itself. It could potentially be damaging to cardboard box games though.
It's something to think about.

I got 1 PS2 game I haven't got around to playing. The rest I got for cheap and ether don't own the system to play them or have no want to play them, like my game.com games.

Yea i have heard about the ever shrinking wrap.
I have heard a small slit or 2 on the sides could fix the issue.
But i have no clue since i have never tired.

I have about 50 games I haven't gotten round to playing. They're mostly master system games, from back when I bought a bundle of 45 of them.
I buy them, then put them on the shelf "for later", then my mind wanders and I go off and do something else.
It's not
too
bad if they're cheap, "collectible" games. But I have a few modern games I haven't played, or haven't put much time into. As before, I play them for a couple of hours, then I wander off and do something else.
I should really focus on a few certain games and not play anything else for a while.

I have some factory sealed NES games, and then a bunch of newer stuff which I bought on sale which I haven't gotten around to playing yet.
All told, I would say about 25 sealed games. The NES games will probably never be opened. Some of those I have opened CIB versions of.

I have at least 30 games sealed... I've never counted to be exact. At some point, they will be all opened and played at least once.
