Quoted from TaylorVA:Not always. I'd much rather have a NIB MMR over a 20 year old game. If the game plays the same seems like a no brainer to me.
Quoted from Monarca1091:Yeah you can't change LEDs , and you can't put a full color dmd . It's a very good pin if you want it in a route .
Some people will prefer one; some people will prefer the other. MM vs. MMr will never have an answer that satisfies everyone.
I personally would rather have a brand new game appear at my house NIB. Actually, scratch that, my first choice would be a HEP restore of an original . . . but short of that I want NIB all day long.
