NIB..?? well I did it once, don't THINK I will do it again. It does not play any better than a used one, unless its been really beat up. BUT if I WAS to buy NIB again I would go for the MMr or Stern ST. MET 3ird. By the way....my NIB purchase was a Shrek. And I personally favor the 89 thru 99 Bally Williams games.
