When I saw this topic I thought "Sonic R?  What the hell is he talking about?  That game is old!"

But it turns out it honestly is the old Sonic R for the Saturn.  That's cool!

I find it cool enough to land a copy of an old game that not only has the box and manual but still has the little extra forms like Nintendo Power subscriptions and such.  So to open a brand new copy with EVERYTHING in it, exactly as is, is just exciting.

Years from now will opening a sealed Wii game be exciting?  Honestly the idea of opening a sealed Gamecube game would seem lame and uninteresting to me right now but is that entirely because it's not old enough?  Or is there also a personal nostalgic connection?  The Saturn comes from a time when I was still in high school.  The 8 bit, 16 bit, and 32/64 bit generations sum up the bulk of my childhood.  I was an adult when the previous generation started (which does change the emotion a bit) and the pre-crash stuff is so old that I have no real emotional attachment to it.  But then would I be excited about opening an old Intellivision game?  I certainly would from a historical point of view but I don't think it would be the same as opening an old NES game.
