Hey, maybe in the future they will be worth more because there will be way fewer of them sealed because people bought them through the years and played them. That's always a possibility. But unless that's the case, there are a lot more things you can invest on than putting your money in sealed video games. I mean invest in stocks and bonds. Start up a business. Collect things that FOR SURE will have future value like Baseball cards and such since that's really one of the main reasons those things were made in the first place. When you think of baseball cards, you automatically think collecting because that's what they're made for. The Video game industry is not catering to collectors and is not considering the value of their sealed games 10 or even 20 years down the line. They are in the business of making games so people can play them NOW!!! Video games were not meant to be collected like baseball cards and such. Just my 2 1/2 cents.
