When my YUI cds arrived, i cannot decide whether i'll open them or not..coz at the first place, i want to preserve the freshness~i should leave them unopen..but i opened them eventually coz i can't help myself..lol..due to excitement..

but now, i think i'm not gonna open the cds the next time i'll buy..or will i end up opening them(again)? :sry

What do u guys think?..

dont de-viginize them!!!

hehe

YEAH... Don't de-virginize them...

ahah.. it's such a dilemma.. i think i won't be able to resist the temptation to 'de-virginize' them.. (btw 'de-virginize' is a cool term..lol..)

Open them ^^ At least to see the CD :P
And it's rather expensive, you bought them because you wanted to listen to them, didn't you? ^^

imo, it's pretty stupid to keep them sealed... ok, I understand that it looks cool and "fresh" unopened, but don't you want to listen to the CD and watch the DVD (it it comes with DVD)? Sure, you can download it too, but why the hell would you download a xx Gb DVD if you had bought it before...? It also can be better to listen to the CD itself than the MP3s, since the quality is better. And I love reading the booklet and looking at the pictures inside. So yeah, that's why I always open my CDs. :P

well being on this forum... we have ppl scanning the booklets... so i get to enjoy the pictures on a computer...

i dont even own a cd player... only mp3 players...

even my car stereo plays mp3...

i dont wanna take the chance of scratching the dvd or cds...

so i dont play original cds and stuff anyways

so for my scenario is best if i just not open it...

lol..u guys kinda funny..hurm...maybe when my cd arrive..i will not open it yet...i might take picta first..hehe...n then...i open it..(carefully) and copy all the songs to my computer..n then i will put it back in it's case just like when it's arrive.. :hee

lol i know what you mean i do the same time XD
when i get them i really dont want to open it but because of all the excitement it somehow get open :suki
i just can help myself

I don't want to open them.. but.. sometimes.. there's some special content that not available anywhere in internet like YUI comment in TYMT and the making of Taiyou no Uta from Premium edition DVD..
So.. if i can't get the special content on internet.. i have to open my DVD.. which is kinda sad.. but.. that's the only way to see it..
I'm gonna open my ILY Limited Edition album IF I can't find the special content anywhere..

thanks for ur opinion guys, @eyemeroll, actually I took a pic of the cds in their 'unopened state'..and then open them, but I wasn't able to put back the case.. @@

good thing, the Summer song limited edition has a 'different' plastic cover..u can seal it back again after opening it.. :good

omg..yea i've been debating this for the longest time...and still am? LOL it is a dilemma, you buy it to listen to it right?

my first online purchase i think was YUI's CBML Limited edition ..i had picked up YUI's FMTY from a friend but didnt open it...CBML came and the case was cracked -___- i didnt really wanna go thru the whole refunding process online so i just opened it since it got cracked anyway...i kept the LISMO/BLEACH sticker it had on the 1st press editions...and stuck it inside the album..

but ever since then...i've kept every single intact....i dont think i'll be selling them in the future...maybe i will open them one day?

but yes every time i purchase her singles...and they arrive..my brain agonizes over this lol...cuz i'm such an indecisive person too >__<

dammit and i thought was another game....
neeways, don open them if u gnna have a big collection if u jus buy them then open it

OR

jus buy 2 open one and keep one closed

I cant hold the temptation to open it,,
Of course I will open it and take a look for twice or three times, but then I will keep them in their plastic , so, it will be like a new one^^

waah haha i dun open minez i cherish them haha i did to the SS lmted one to see the postcard XDDD :clap

When my CDs arrived, I open them immediately but very cautiously. I also play them once in a while. Because I believe, in the end, the purpose of me buying the CD is to enjoy it and I can only enjoy it if I open it.

That's why my CDs are kinda scratched already. >,<
But I care less because its only the case, and the case is there to protect my CD and booklet. That are the things I protect with my purchases- the CDs and the booklets.

We have the same thinking. That's what I want to point out in my previous post.

*gomen for double posting*

lol...open if u want to keep it seal if u want to!

go wit GUT FEELING!

Yeah this is what i do when i have enough money to buy 2

Right on! :good
Hmm, don't you think YUI would want us to open and listen to her CDs also? I mean, what are cds for if they aren't for listening?

But yeahh, I always have this dilemma also... so I ended up with some of my cds open and some sealed, LOL!
Ehh, the really interesting thing is that the cds I get from Kinokuniya are sealed in a different plastic and are resealable. Kinda weird, but good in a way cause you can just open them and seal them back up again! @@

Well, just open them, look at it, and then put them back in the plastic~ That's what I do because opening them gives you a certain "thrill" haha.

Or just buy another copy...

arh? did u say kinokuniya? do they sell CDs at all? LOL didnt notice..haha i go there for manga only-.-" oh boi gotta look around haha u live in singapore too right? BLUR O.O

actually that's what i do
LOL.
i keep the japanese version nice and neat and everything and sealed
and then sometimes i might buy the hong kong version and open that one instead LOL.

*sighs* i wish I had a Hong Kong around me LOL...i'd so buy a JPN and HK vers....if i could ..still i'm not that rich so i dont think i should resort to that method

Agreed!!!! hehehe =P
Is like buying a new guitar and never play it ... it got no sense for me!!!
things were made to use them!!! of course you got to use them carefully!

@@

What will you do with your "virgin CD & DVD" in 10 or 20 years?? hehehe don't forget technology will go on!!! ...
What did your dad with his vinyl' discs?? I'm gonna tell you what my dad did ... he bought them again, but re-mastered into CDs!!! and he said good bye to vinyl...

The moral of the story is ... use your CD & DVD until you can

very well said, I think I'm gonna resort to that..hehe :good

dammit! well i cant choose wether to open mine or not (ive neva had this problem b4) becasue my yui cd neva came! >.<!!

Well, if it's me, i'll open them.
De-virginize them, but still, keep them well. :D
with the plastic cover too.

don't want them to collect dust on the shelf. XD

aren't they supposed yo be opened?...

honestly, i think people who don't open their cds are weird... i mean, what's the point of buying it if you don't open it... play it at least once if you don't want to make use of it...

the total and complete awesome WORTH of an unopened cd :P

buy a copy of IRY LE for 5 bucks opened or 300 bucks unopened!

it just makes me feel giddy knowing my cds contains that type of power bawahahaha

Lol, the Kinokuniya here sells everything, from awesome stationary items to magazines to cds! Nope, I live in USA. :good

Hmm, the point is, could you ever bring yourself to selling them!?!?! They may be worth that much, but they aren't worth anything if you aren't willing to sell them, right? :sry

Haha, I've thought about how much they could be worth, but I myself could never sell them, so I just open them in the end.

for me....
I'll open it.....
for sure...~~

yeah i couldnt bare to sell them, but i cant open them either!

i just hang them on the wall and protect them

thats all i can do...

for me...
not open it for 3-4 days..
after that i open..
i can't settle that..

I would just enjoy the CD un-opened for an hour or something and then i'll just open it. I mean having them makes it just perfect ^^ they don't have to be sealed right?
Well anyway that's what i would do if I ever got a YUI cd :cry

That's my question too when I got my cds. And I think that I should just leave it un open so it wont get dirty or yeah. I'll just download it and listen in my MP3. :good
