I've had a 19" flat panel monitor sitting next to my computer desk for the past 5 months. Never really saw the need to unbox this since the old one was working well. Just hooked it up tonight .. finally got rid of the old tank. Looks nice,

Now I need to unbox my DS I got back in March...

I have a dining room table from Ikea in a box.

I eat alone in front of the TV or computer; why bother.

Never done this myself. I'm such a whore for new merchandise that I crack it open the moment I'm free.

Pretty much the same with me. I like to get new things and then open them.

I'm a lot more like to get something, open it, and then mess with it a for a few minutes before putting it away and forgetting about it.

Yea, I'm terrible with games too. Tons of 10 dollar PC games and other clearance shit I have never opened.

Tucah · « **Reply #6 on:** December 27, 2008, 11:55:38 PM »

Tons of games I never opened, especially 360 games. Hell, I'm just getting around to some of my PS2 backlog this weekend.

No. I love opening crap I buy.

Same here. My problem is throwing away boxes. I still have my n64 box in perfect condition.

It's rare that I don't open something right away, even games that I don't play immediately.

Yeah, I'm a bit of a packrat when it comes to packaging.

Diunx · « **Reply #11 on:** December 28, 2008, 12:31:49 AM »

yeah I'm always too busy burning 100 dollar bills in front of starving children and never have time to open the shit I buy.

off topic: this is awesome

i had most of my old console boxes until pretty recently -- it killed me to throw out my japanese dreamcast box covered with pictures of that executive they were using in those weird commercials. something yukawa

cool breeze · « **Reply #13 on:** December 28, 2008, 01:23:59 AM »

I do this with dvd/blu-ray stuff

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #14 on:** December 28, 2008, 01:56:23 AM »

I unbox things on the drive home. or pick away at it while trying to pay attention to the road.

BobbyRobby · « **Reply #15 on:** December 28, 2008, 06:13:46 AM »

i keep games in shrinkwrap until I play them. sometimes i wait long enough that i can sell them at a profit and buy a used copy for much less.

Reb · « **Reply #16 on:** December 28, 2008, 07:18:50 AM »

I had an unused $ 250,- Zune in a drawer somewhere, only for a month though.

Tieno · « **Reply #17 on:** December 28, 2008, 07:20:57 AM »

Why buy something if you don't open it? Especially games! I just don't understand, are you guys filthy rich?

Reb · « **Reply #18 on:** December 28, 2008, 07:23:33 AM »

Yes.

Also, buying to fill the hole in my soul.

I have a ton of bargain bin DVDs that remain unopen. Like, I'm sure I will get around to watching that 5 dollar copy of The Hunger someday, but it's not on my priority list. That's really my only problem area here.

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #23 on:** December 28, 2008, 11:05:49 AM »

No, I always unwrap it or take it out of the packaging. Could be a while before I actually use it though.

pollo · « **Reply #24 on:** December 28, 2008, 11:12:36 AM »

I still have BioShock in shrinkwrap. Told myself I was going to sell it off and trade for another game (mebbe madden) but the price has depreciated so much that it's not worth the trade in value.

Is it the NTSC/US 360 version? You can sell it to me if you want?

I open shit on the bus on the way home.

I do have a lot of Steam stuff I've never installed though $:-\$
