I support this view too. Shrinkwrapped items to me are interesting mainly because I know "it's all in the box", and if mint also that it's all in perfect condition. Other than that, I'm not too interested. I can be found removing the shrink when I'm curious enough and don't have an open copy around. As long as my game is in excellent condition and complete, I'm happy! I do keep many of them still in wrap due to the financial aspect of things, but I wouldn't be too surprised if this attitude would go away much like it did with comic books. If you can't see what's inside, look at the stuff that came with it, then what's the point? Other than being an investment, I see no reason at all to keep it in shrinkwrap.

There was a whole debate as to whether polybagged comics that had been opened were worth less than sealed copies. The consensus eventually was something like "screw the comic companies, this is BS, I'm not going to start buying 2 copies of every comic to preserve the value of my collection while still being able to read it", so an opened polybagged comic came to have the same value as a sealed one. The comic companies pretty much stopped doing it too.
