Smelling freshly opened cases
We purchase factory-sealed games for two reasons. First, doing this cuts down on the chances of receiving damaged goods, and second, we love smelling the boxes. After cracking the seal, we slowly open the cases, stick our noses inside and immerse ourselves in the distinct industrial aromas. Even better, Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo's cases have unique smells. No comment on whether or not inhaling them kills brain cells.

Niice, I admit there are a few that I do :)
to hotpepperfrank: OK, ewww! what is wrong with you? tasting boxes, that's absurd!
That last one, no, that should never happen. If I was at a place where someone did that, I'd jump out the window in annoyance.
I like to smell new game cases...I tasted the 360 when my friend got it too...
