Delkmiroph 1649 Posted November 8, 2015 none... When i buy CDs/DVDs i am always excited to see how is the art of CD/DVD. Just my reaction when postman give my CDs/DVDs 3 eiheartx, leafwork and MaikoMizu reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vanivani 558 Posted November 8, 2015 I open all of my CDs/DVDs. I like to look at the artwork and lyrics. Also, I need to rip it onto my computer haha. 1 MaikoMizu reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
inartistic 1151 Posted November 8, 2015 When I was younger, I couldn't have imagined having unopened CDs. Every single one was a treasured experience, and I'd spend so much time pouring over them. Now I have quite a few (probably less than 20 though), mostly due to getting the CD long after I've had a rip of it. & many of mine are newer UNDER CODE releases, which can be pretty lacking in the packaging department anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
indigo 389 Posted November 8, 2015 None. I actually listen to the CDs and watch DVDs with my DVD player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doombox 4421 Posted November 8, 2015 I was actually surprised how many I have, though they probably won't always stay that way. I do like to open them and check them out eventually, too. But I got about 15 unopened CDs and 5-6 unopened DVDs (only one of them being music related). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takadanobabaalien 3607 Posted November 8, 2015 Basically same as Delkmiroph, unless the CD is something special that I really don't want open. The only CD I have that is unopened is NéiL (Key party band)'s first mini album signed by all members. I left it unopened because the plastic is signed so it would disappear if I open it.

fitear1590 2414 Posted November 8, 2015 I make a big ritual of opening new CDs (I have to set aside a good 10 or 15 minutes, haha), but I can think of 2 CDs that are unopened. One, I downloaded before the CD arrived and realized I disliked it, so I am keeping it unopened, just in case I can sell it one of these days. The other is another CD I downloaded, but I have already seen booklet scans, so I just haven't felt too compelled to open it. 2 Takadanobabaalien and Seimeisen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JRD 5156 Posted November 8, 2015 Depends on how much I love the band and how easily accessible it the release is to the public. I usually get 2 copies; so I can get an opened one to look at the lyrics+artwork and an unopened one to have one in mint. OCD for the win. 1 hiroki reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allisapp 303 Posted November 8, 2015 Right now I have none, because just a few weeks ago I opened about ~10 CDs! :'D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I did cut the plastic that it was small enough to fit in the cdcase lol XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fictioninhope 355 Posted November 8, 2015 I voted 1 or 2 but I actually have three. Two because I'm too lazy to open them and the third because if I open it it'll actually damage the packaging(assholes put it in a thick cardstock envelope that's sealed up really well... sigh). I'm usually waaaay too excited to get new cds to leave them sealed up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ikki 807 Posted November 8, 2015 Right now, I only have four; two being glam metal CDs (original CD pressings of RATT's Out of the Cellar and Skid Row's debut album), Jacks 'n' Joker's major debut CD, and a Dir en Grey CD. I used have first pressing copies of Color's Gekitotsu!!, BY-SEXUAL's Cool, and Ladies Room's Rhythm Crush 2 still factory sealed until I decided I wanted to see what was in the booklets. 1 Lestat reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chemicalpictures 1888 Posted November 8, 2015 All of them. Only the ones that I bought used are opened. Since I pretty much only buy what I already like, this more to keep a collection of my favorites, and support the artist a bit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lestat 2167 Posted November 8, 2015 At least twenty, I think. I didn't specifically count, but whenever I open up my drawers I see a lot of plastic. I also never actually throw away the plastic casings. For Visual Kei releases, there's this little strip on the bottom of the plastic that you can pull away carefully and with that you only open up the bottom. I always slide them back in whenever I actually do open CDs (mainly so the obi-strip stays in place). 1 Silverhawk33 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nagisa 131 Posted November 9, 2015 None. I always open them as soon as they arrive. I always listen to music using CDs so if I didn't open them then I wouldn't be able to listen to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JukaForever 758 Posted November 9, 2015 Exactly 2, I bought the same album with 3 different cover artwork but there was no difference in tracklisting so I opened 1 and left the other 2 unopened. I couldn't fathom having unopened music, especially ones from overseas. Like I waited so long for the arrival and spent money on it, why would I leave them unopened and not appreciate the presentation of the CD? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathtopi4 428 Posted November 9, 2015 None, I like to make my own rips and look at the booklet in case it's got anything interesting going for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ro plz 1290 Posted November 9, 2015 None. I love having my own personal rips as well. And i never got the whole keeping the plastic on it. If thats the case, why buy? Can't rely on things always being online. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Champ213 1858 Posted November 9, 2015 None. Even if I could get the rip elsewhere, I love touching my CDs, especially if they're digipacks. I'm a regular CD-molester. 5 ghost, Seimeisen, CAT5 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LIDL 692 Posted November 9, 2015 None. It is weird to see people bought CD and DVD and never opened them amd listen the music from illegal download. But whatever floats ypur boat, dudes/dudettes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chi 2624 Posted November 9, 2015 none. gotta watch the dvds and flip through those booklets!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ghost 2687 Posted November 9, 2015 I used to have 5 but "I like to touch" [2]. And from a seller's perspective too, I realize no one wants to pay ridiculous prices for new CDS. Video games on the other hand... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CAT5 9075 Posted November 9, 2015 I'm pretty sure I've opened all of my CDs, as I usually end up making my own rips in either v0 or flac. Most of the stuff I buy I either already have downloaded in low quality or isn't stuff that readily appears on the net. I do carefully open them and keep the plastic to slide the CD case back into. and I also keep the obis. 2 Seimeisen and MaikoMizu reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
