Raito Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 This is slightly weird, but who else likes the smell of a new game? Me, I love to rip the plastic off and take a good long breath of the manual. Its the best bit about buying a new game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuli Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I do that too. :x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thingy Person Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 They do have a distinct smell, but I don't find it very appealing. Fresh paper has a special smell, but a game manual pales in comparison to a newspaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santino Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 New stuff in general usually have a smell, but I don't think of it so much with games. Except Brawl, the half-hour I had with it before taking it to my Wii was spent enjoying so much of the cover as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raito Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 (edited) Yeah, new books also have a great smell of fresh printed paper, but I don't think its as good as new game smell though. Edited December 19, 2008 by Raito Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I enjoy tearing open new games and admiring their pristine condition, but I can't say that I've ever smelled any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intoner Two Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I enjoy tearing open new games and admiring their pristine condition, but I can't say that I've ever smelled any. aye, can't say I have a habit of taking a breath, usually can't breath too well in the thin air of the mountains that I live around to begin with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkhead Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Sorry, this is kinda weird, I thought you meant if "you feel the smell of new games on the way". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnell Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Can't say I've ever sniffed my new games. I'm usually a little too busy tearing off the packaging and ripping the case open to worship the game and read the manual on the way home. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonri Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Yeah, new books also have a great smell of fresh printed paper, but I don't think its as good as new game smell though. Really old books smell even better.^_^ And yes, I smell fresh games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starwolf_UK Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 It is the 'new plastic' smell. My nose reconsies the smell from knex kits :) I'm more interested in the smoothness of the box and all that since it hasn't been soiled on a store shelf for years with unwashed grubby hands constantly grabbing it and of course the price stickers that due to being on for so long leave a mark and the goo which is a pain to get off...

Phoenix Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I used to but then I stopped because they all smelled the same. Plus I found something that smelled even BETTER :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
