Well, I kinda see it as preserving a legacy. How many originally shrinked versions of a game will be around in fifty years?
Yeah, of course I understand this view. :) I'd much rather "preserve" the whole package though. I like to make scans of the contents for instance, which is rather hard when it's shrinkwrapped. ;) I think one of the more important tasks we as collectors have is to document history.
..which is exactly why I started MobyGames. :) We have stuff in our collections that NOBODY has heard of ;-)
