I dont think that any Xbox games are rare where it is really really hard to find it. I mean you can probably find every single Xbox game on the internet, if not in the wild. My guess of what game will be rare in the future, is that mech type game with the GIANT controller, I forget the name of it. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
Graphics aren't as sharp as Outrun 2 (Xbox version is based on the PS2 version) and apparently it lacks the Daytona 2 and Scud Race bonus courses (...that I had to cheat to unlock in Outrun 2 because I suck). Other than that, it has something like twice as much actual material in there, so I guess if you dig Outrun 2 then it'd be pretty hard to go wrong with 2006

Oklahoma DP Roll Call!
Would you like to know more about collecting video games? Check out my extensive Youtube channel! https://www.youtube.com/user/swlovinist
Can Steel Battalion be played with a standard Xbox controller? I found a new copy at my local Gamestop for $12.99.....but no super duper controller in sight.
Coast 2 Coast has those sweet "Turbo Outrun" tunes along with "tuned" cars.
The tuned cars are kinda fun (I suck using the F40) but it includes both tracks from 2 and C2C.
If you are an Outrun fan then it makes sense to own both. "2" for the extra bonus tracks and the original game..."C2C" for the newer tacks and tuned cars.
Possibility is infinity! You must be satisfied!

Yeah... I have the game (steel battalion) without the controller too... I would like to find the controller... I paid 4.00 for the game. Someone said that EB has them from time to time for 50.00... so I'm hoping and praying- either that or maybe I'll find it at a flea market
This is true. When you talk about rare Xbox games, you're talking about rarity relative to other Xbox games. 2600 collectors will scoff at you if show up wearing Xbox to their parties. Still, there are lots of games that many have never heard of and won't find at Gamestop. Too bad most of them are mediocre at best. But if you're a completist collector, you can still have a good time.
On another note, anyone notice that Marvel vs Capcom 2 is now $80.00 used at Gamestop?
Dragons Lair 3D is pretty tough to find used.
There won't be too many rare XBOX games because production numbers were high for every one of them (minimum runs).
I think the Steel Battalion PILOT TEST version is probably crazy rare, but it was not sold in stores....
WHen you get to Wii, though. I would suggest picking some of those up as Nintendo has low minimum first run production numbers for some games....
How about Re-volt? It's got to be pretty rare, since it was never released at retail (it was given to Xbox Live beta testers).
Also, what's the story with Rent A Hero? I was looking forward to that game like nobody's business when it was canned.

Rarity, and the true definition aside... this list gives me an overview of what to watch for- especially in the case of Outrun 2006 C2C, which I saw at a Blockbuster yesterday for 14.99, and will go pick up after work today (provided it is still there). This thread also shows that just because it is hard to find in one place doesn't mean its hard to find in another. I would rather have a list as this for a starting point, so I can get ahead of the game, and collect titles that may be really hard to find or super expensive in a few years time. I'm not one of those willing to pay 70 dollars for MVsC2. Ok I feel like I've been rambling without having said much... my apologies.
I finally found a copy of F1 2001 at a Gamestop for $15. That's the first one I've seen.
I recently found two copies of Yourself Fitness at a Gamestop for $8, but I only bought one.
I have found maybe 4 copies of Chicago Enforcer, and I have a spare that I bought recently.
I have found only one copy of the Volvo game.
Shattered Union and Sniper Elite are titles I don't see much. I've seen more new Shattered Unions than used, and it seems like it was a late release as the price remains high at Gamestops, etc. Sniper Elite I've only seen may be two of.
I saw a Futurama for the first time at a Gamestop, although I had already bought one here at DP.
Still haven't seen a single Frogger or Loons. And I look quite a bit, maybe 2 or 3 stores a week. I've seen one or two Marvel vs Capcom 2, but it's sorely overpriced at Gamestop. I haven't seen a single Red Card or Sega Soccer Slam. I haven't seen Ultimate Beach Soccer, Whiteout, Tom and Jerry, Still Life, or Stake Fortune Fighters.
There are several other titles that I haven't seen that are listed on the main rare list, but stuff like Okami 2, Dai Senkaru (whatever spelling), I-ninja, I have seen tons of copies of and are probably not very rare.
I must admit, I am looking forward to the next big sale on used games. I'd love to complete an Xbox collection. Xbox is like the new Dreamcast for me. I played it a bit and like the system, and I'll probably try to complete it despite it being a modern system. Plus it's way cheaper than Gamecube.
Trying finding a NEW copy of House of the Dead III.
Does that qualify?
I just found three Panzer Dragoon Orta(s) at my local Game Crazy for $14.99 NEW FACTORY SEALED!
I got Shenmue II NEW SEALED for $9.98 at Toys R Us about two years ago!
These are going to be "in demand" soon!
