So tonight I picked up the rest of the collection this guy had. If you haven't seen my FK thread, I recently scored a huge GC, PS1, DS, etc. lot from this guy, and today was my third and final trek to his place (hour or so away) to pick up the rest of his collection (PS2, XBOX, strategy guides, 3ds, and extras). I organzied and priced all the PS2 and 3ds stuff, and just got done with the XBOX games.. I obtained around 70 XBOX games, and there were literally only three titles over $20 (and not by much, either).
- Shenmue II
- Stubbs the Zombie (awesome, odd title that I never heard of... I figured it was going to be semi-rare before looking it up, and it ended up being the priciest game of the lot)
- KOTOR 2
Everything else was basically $5 or under (only several $10-15 games... under 10 titles I'd say) and there was only a few sport/ racing titles.
I know there has been a thread or two in the past few months about XBOX being kinda shit in value... but for real.. WTF?!?! What is the explanation? It's not like there is a shortage of tried-and-true action game titles, M-rated titles, XBOX-exclusive titles, etc.; I know there's not TOO many RPGs on the system. I just don't understand how a system well over 10 years old doesn't have more valuable titles. Even the couple of sealed titles in the lot I bought were going for $5 or under on ebay.
.. meh. Organization is done, time for FO4 and one last beer.
It is at that age where it is too old to be considered modern and not yet old enough to be retro. You really don't see systems start to surge till about the 15 year mark or so. Dreamcast was bargin basement city for years and now a few of the titles are really surgeing just in the last year. It really needs to get to the point where a system as deemed as near worthless before it starts being worth anything.
I know it came out in the shadow of the juggernaunt that was the PS2 but it is no slouch in the RPG department.
- Fable
- Kotor 1+2
- Jade Empire
- Elder Scrolls Morrowind
- LotR The Third Age
It also had a bunch of those great co-op beat em up rpgs like X-men/Marvel/Dark Alliance type stuff.
Give it another year or two, it will get there.
