Sealed or open and signed

[Frankie_Says_Relax]

So ...

what about sealed AND signed?

[GameNinja]

To agree with the general consensus, I would personally find a signed copy cooler than a sealed one, but a sealed one is a better investment and the signature is pretty much only worth its sentimental value.

This thread reminds me of the dude that got Sarah Palin to autograph his 360, all the while taking several pictures to document the occasion. And then what he did next was very unsurprising: he listed it on ebay for some ridiculous price(I can't remember if it was for $10,000 or $100,000). It also wasn't a surprise that nobody bid on it.

Sarah Palin is not a celebrity, hell I don't even think she is human.

Chances are she's a helluva a lot more attractive than you.

Hands down, sealed. This has nothing to do with keeping it sealed for value vs. opening it and enjoying it. People only want it for the CE pets and sealed is the only sure way not to get hosed on the deal as it ensures the code is not used.

This. For this particular item, the skyrocket value is the pets you get with this version. It holds it's value more than the other expansions because of age and the amount of pets you can get (3 in this release versus 1 in each of the expansions). It was nice of Blizzard to make the pets bind on account so if one character had the panda, another the Mini Diablo, and another had the Zergling, they could be traded amongst characters on the same server.

I know if I was interested in acquiring this, I would be more apt to look for ones that are still shrinkwrapped than ones that have been opened and signed. Make no mistake, I've enjoyed the game going on 7 years now but I could give a flip less about someone's signature, regardless of how much they worked on it. I've been to comic conventions and have had comics signed by creators before, but I ended deciding I didn't want a book with a bunch of scribble on it and traded away my autographed copies for regular ones again. I personally may not be into the whole autograph thing but I can certainly see how others might be.

She certainly looks human, though I'd agree with you in not saying she's a celebrity. I'd be more inclined to say she's a media personality, though truth be told the two terms are rather similar. When I think of celebrities, I think of people like Elvis, Michael Jackson, and some athletes like Babe Ruth. They all give off this larger than life vibe. I don't get that from Sarah Palin.

Chances are she's a helluva a lot more attractive than you.

That was unnecessary. Try not to take your politics so personal.

I got my Ps3 signed by Ellen Mclain just recently. I wonder if it make it as valuable as the fabled Palin 360.

I'm sure the fact it is a DEMO 60gb unit hurts the value.

Let me guess, because I'm a female who plays video games. It is a shame that your reasons to defend her come down to such a petty argument.
