    I've never seen that one... crap. Another Halo to get. :/

    I've seen numerous other ones with those stickers, but as far as i've seen they wern't NFR versions. Just regular releases with those stickers that wouldnt ever come off the cover.
    Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

    I've got about 50 games with the same little green "Not for Resale" somewhere on the bottom. They gave up on doing the special cover art for the microsoft store sometime in '03 or '04, so after that they should all be the same as retail. I'm sure it'll be a pain for those who try to collect cover art variants... Here's a few more:

    Metal Slug 4 is relitively easy to find in the UK at the moment and Metal Slug 5 is released the end of the month here. so it might just be the US copies that are harder to find.

    Over here metal slug 4 & 5 were released as a double package game where you got both disks.

    I'm surprised to see that I have some rare Xbox games (TJ & III and Roller Coaster Tycoon), along with one that is potentially rare in Spikeout Battlestreet.

    I just got a new game called Championship Bowling, which the store has ONLY ONE copy, I wonder if this will be rare? No, I don't plan to keep it sealed, it'll be opened up and played.

    I checked eBay, only one copy listed now, quite unusual for new release

    kakuto chojin was mentioned already and ive seen them around a few times but i heard that there are 2 versions of the game - the first one with the content it was banned for and the re-release with out the content

    can anyone back this up? if so wouldn’t the version with out the banned content be the rarer one?

    what remember reading --

    kakuto chojin was banned for some kind of Arabic chants - it was pulled and re-released with out it in there - then pulled completely because they were not selling at all

    when this happened i remeber people selling the game with the comments that the version they are selling is the banned version

    Outrun 2006 Coast 2 Coast is pretty hard to come by from what I have seen and heard. Also, Whiteout looks like another candidate for a rare title. I don't recall seeing it in stores, at least not recently, and there are currently none on ebay at all (even completed auctions).

    I can't recall ever seeing this either.

    I'm trying to get my hands on Airforce Delta Storm atm. No luck out in the wild so far....might have to resorty to Ebay for this one.

    My local Gamestop has a disc only copy of Spike Out....I'm so tempted to pick it up, but alas my completist side will not allow it.

    I don't think it ever got a release in retail stores and if it did it was in really low numbers. I remember seeing it for both PS2 and PSP in stores (well, Toy's R Us) but i never saw it for Xbox.

    I had to but it off of Amazon (from Toy's R Us, when they still were affiliated with Amazon).

    there are some raritys listed in the online rarity guide here on DP. The raritys go as follows:

    Air Force Delta Storm R4
    Sneakers R3
    Steel Battalion w/controller R3
    Kakuto Chojin R3
    Steel Battalion: Line of Contact R2
    DDR Ultramix R2
    The Guy Game R2
    Mortal Kombat Deception: collector's edition R2
    Metal Slug 3 R2
    Egg Mania: Eggstreme Madness R2
    Chronicles of Riddick R2
    Phantasy Star Online Episode 1&2 R2
    Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance R2
    Battle Engine Aquila R2
    Spikeout Battle Street R2
    Robotech: Battlecry R2


    The rest are all listed as R1 or R0. I'm sure there could be some games that are a little more rare than whats on this list, but it hasn't been compiled yet.

    I pretty much agree with all those except Battle Engine Aquila. More like an R3 going by my experiences of trying to track a copy down.


    DDR Ultramix is an R2 by itself but if you're talking about the game + pad bundle, it's definitely higher that that. I think I saw one at TRU once and that was it. Ended up getting my bundle from an online trade and haven't seen any others since.

    Airforce Delta Storm should be lower, it's been reprinted several times already, and probably will be again if the price goes back up.

    The guy game should be lower too, there were a ton of copies that were held in a wharehouse until just reciently.

    Steel Battalion should be higher because it's the only Xbox game i can think of that was allowed to print less copies then microsoft's minimum requirement.

    Which brings up another issue, MS has a minimum print requirement which pretty much guarantees no xbox game will ever be "rare". I'm still trying to find out what happened with outrun 2, that might be rare if it wasn't just some sort of missed ship date kind of thing.

    The only real rare games i can think of are Lambourghini, Crash (which i'm still not sure if it was ever released under a different name), Red Star, 100 Bullets, and Revolt. None of which were released, but all are out there.

    Well my hunt for Airforce Delta Storm is finally over. A Half Price Books on the north side of town had one for about $20, so of course I snatched it up.

    Ahhh...I enjoyed the hunt but finding the game feels so much better!

    There's a brand new OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast for Xbox sitting in the game case at my local Hasting's store. It's not on the 360's compatible list so I can't play it, but is it worth picking up just for rarity's sake? Or is it not that rare?

    BTW, I thoroughly enjoyed OutRun 2 on the original Xbox when I still had one.
