eBay idiot creates rating system for game packaging

Euphoric | April 27, 2008 | News | PC Misc 
Some one has created a new system that will rate the quality and effectiveness of a games packaging to aid collectors of mint condidtion games get the best quality product. Genius or over the top idiocy?
You're one of those obsessive video game collectors, the type who'd rather have a factory sealed copy of Final Fantasy III for SNES free of dog-earing, yellowing and keep in a climate-controlled, smoke-free vault than a playable copy. You, of course, put some sort of faith in the Video Game Authority grading service which will determine the quality of a game's packing against a set of internal standards.

    The saddest thing from all this is that some people will pay this a lot of heed. They are just that serious (crazy).

      No because the original article is about how ridiculous it is. So I made my title reflect that. The question was asking what are your opinions.

        I can't see how Being an idiot is the same as it being ridiculous?
        Its not the same, this guy isn't an idiot, the situation was ridiculous.

        Whether you recognise it or not, package quality is a vital concern for many collectors. This isn't idiocy; it's just filling a need smartly.

        And StarJet, people sell new games on eBay too.

    This is hilarious. i can't believe he has actually done this. I'm going to go something and hope he rates it, though that is freakin' hilaerious. That's funny i must say.
