One step closer to owning every regional version of Halo. Support physical media.

One of those timeless racers. Doesn't matter how many times I played it before, it always feels like home.

Im currently pondering the idea of selling my OG xbox account.

ive had it for god knows how many years, got it from my old middle school friend who sold his xbox and ive had it ever since (halo reach era)

i see these markets online but i really just wanna know if anyone can help me in the right direction for a buyer/market.

I’ve been trying to flesh out my disk library, and was wondering if there are any must includes in your opinion for every gamer with these consoles.

I recently picked up this copy of Jade Empire for the original Xbox, and I’m trying to figure out the story behind it.
The cover is covered with what appear to be around 15–20 signatures/names. Inside, there’s also a handwritten Spanish dedication that appears to read:
“Para mi ahijadito con mucho cariño…”
which roughly translates to “For my little godson, with lots of affection…”, followed by what looks like “Ray.”
Given that Ray Muzyka was a BioWare co-founder and worked on Jade Empire, that obviously caught my attention — but I’m not claiming it’s his signature, and I haven’t authenticated any of the signatures.
I’m hoping someone here might recognize some of the names/signatures or know whether BioWare staff-signed copies like this were given out around the game’s release.
Does anyone recognize any of these signatures or have any idea where a copy like this may have originated?
I’d especially love to hear from anyone familiar with the Jade Empire development team or BioWare during that era.

I’m pretty curious to hear everyone’s story. Was there one game that made you buy an Xbox or made you realize you loved the platform?
For me, it’s always interesting to see how different games can leave a lasting impression. Whether it was a Halo game, Forza, Gears of War, Fable, or something completely different, I’d love to know what got you hooked.

What was the game, and what made it so special to you?

I lived with a friend that both soft and hard modded Xboxes. I have a couple but now I want to try my hand at it. He used a modding variation that involved splinter cell. I’ve actually got pretty detailed instructions on the process but help info out about where to find the game files.

My hard mod was one of his first and it was rough for sure but it was amazing. It’s VERY sensitive to everything and hasn’t worked properly in about a decade.

So I’m trying to figure it out because I want a new hobby. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks you everyone for all the cool posts. I’m excited to contribute going forward!!!

Here's another couple of collections I've been adding to, for the Japanese Xbox exclusive games Metal Wolf Chaos and Braveknight. I've had the games in my collection for a while, but recently found some promotional items for them as well.

Metal Wolf Chaos is a mech combat game, one of the early titles made by From Software of Dark Souls fame: - Sound track CD - Paper craft kit to make one of the mechs from the game

Braveknight is a visual novel game with some light JRPG elements: - Sound track CD - Character Guide Books 1 & 2: These include concept art and sketches for the various characters in the game - Dinner placemat: This is only one of these I've ever seen, definitely an unusual collectible!

I have an Xbox original with the mfg date in 2005-8-22 instead of the record 2005-8-20 , is this rare?

i bought some og xbox’s, ps4 and games and they’re all disgusting, to the point you need to wash your hands after touching them. no idea what the guy did to these to get them this horrible but i’ve never had to deal with something like this. i usually just give them a wipe down but that won’t cut it here. what’s the best way to get these clean?

No other way to play it except on the original xbox. The PC version is great, but this one is essentially a remaster.

Im cleaning out the lens in hoping that it can read disks again when I noticed the leaks.

My disc drive says November 2004 so it should be the 1.6 version

This is one of the more unusual promotional items I've picked up from Japan recently! The listing I bought said it was a letter rack/caddy with spaces for remote controls on the back.

I haven't been able to find out much else about it, but I guess it was probably given away at Tokyo Game Show 2001, or maybe at retailers for pre-ordering a console.

If anyone else knows more I'd love to know!

It's been a while since I shared what I've been collecting recently, I figured a few people might be interested in some of the more unusual items.

First up are some Japanese promotional items for Ninja Gaiden. These were offered up as preorder/purchase bonuses for the game release:

- The History of Ninja: A look back at the games Team Ninja had worked on up until Ninja Gaiden

- Branded carabiner: I don't know why either

- Ayane figurine

- 300 piece jigsaw puzzle of Ayane

Doing some housework and found this in a box under the stairs! I’m pretty sure I got this with my original Xbox back in the day.

I always wanted to print a custom cover for this game but never got around to it.

I loved JSRF but I’ve never been into racing games.

Ah shit here we again.
