NEVER Leave Your New Games Unopened for a Long Period of Time.

oh.  well the OP implies (to me) an event just happened to prompt this thread.   so how long did you wait?   

 

..anything greater than 6 months and my point still stands.  games devalue so fast there is no point in buying one that costs more than $5-$10 if you aren't going to play it right away.  

It was maybe 3 or 4 months after the expiration date when I had realized what had happened.  I preordered LBP2 from Amazon for the bookends, the sackboy plush, and the R&C costumes.  So when I was finally ready to play, WHOOPS... my loss (minor but still.)

What prompted this thread was my research on Steins Gate 0 for PS4.  I just purchased Steins Gate for the PS3 NA version but during my research on 0, I learned that the first print of 0 came with a voucher for an updated version original game.  So I first felt compelled to purchase 0 asap, but I then later learned that the voucher was for Japan only.  All this got me thinking about my past voucher experience which prompted the thread.

i got that edition too.  the plushy was nice but the bookends were trash. 

that's not really on topic but it had to be said.
