Yep, don't need my games to be mint. Long as they play well and look decent I am happy, some wear and marks are not a problem.
In saying that I would not have a game that looked like it had sandpaper rubbed across it so I suppose I do have some limits.....
I also went through a strange phase where I wanted my machines to be Aussie delivered, no idea why but happy to say I am over that now.
+1 you do have to look at them while playing and when not, but the kicker is you play them. You wanna look at something, buy a tv or painting or trophy wife....all of which give you mainly visual pleasure but not much physical stuff.
