Sealed Hardware Collecting from abroad

What are your thoughts on collecting hardware from abroad knowing that they don't seal the stuff and most retailers stamp the manuals on the inside? I want to collect hardware like I have started with the Crisis Core PSP but I have found if you get into DS's from japan they stamp the books.

Thanks,
Ryan

Foreign Hardware is some of the absolute best pieces of gaming awesomeness you can collect.

Panasonic Perfect Q
Final Fantasy XII Limited Edition PS2
The PSX 250 Gig
Orta Xbox
The Navi Saturn (god of all gaming machines)
Resident Evil Edition Dreamcast
Metal Gear Gamcube

List is endless.

That's neat I never seen a Final Fantasy XII Limited Edition PS2. got any pics for this? Was this a Euro release or Japanese?
Only one I've seen was the final fantasy XI hdd bundle in the US.

nice. It looks sexy indeed. Gotta see if I can get my hands on this one from somewhere

So it's ok to collect this hardware even though you know it's been opened?

Of course. Many Japanese items (especially systems) don't usually come sealed anyway. The portables don't.

Good deal cause I bought the Crisis Core PSP and the Subarashiki Kono Sekai: It's a Wonderful World (Wonderful World Edition) DS this week.

I would say so. There isn't any harm in it anyway. Most of the boxes that the hardware comes in are just sealed from the flap on the box.
