Exactly, and I couldn't have said it better...though I attempted to the other
day. I had one sealed game, which I finally popped the other day...Circus
Lido. I had played the game in emulation and wanted to play it with a pad.
Another bad aspect of never opening a game: what if it's defective? I've
bought a few new duds over the years which I've had to return (my most
famous: I had to go through five copies of Tempo for 32X before I got one
which didn't lock on the last level...ugh...bad batch methinks). Could you
imagine spending a couple hundred dollars on something which doesn't work or
is otherwise screwed? In a case like that, what is more absurd: spending a
couple hundred dollars on a piece of defective software OR not knowing you
spent a couple hundred dollars on a piece of defective software?
