Chaos Control | 70 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I've been a 360 collector for a while and have known about the NTSC versions of FIFA 19 and F1 2013 being the rarest normal retail releases but was still shocked at the recent auction as was mentioned over in the Sealed and Graded section. Surely all the 360 collectors would have copies by now?? It made me look at eBay, and unless I missed them there no NTSC copies of either one available. I guess these really are the two rarest but what would be the other rarest conventional US/NTSC releases? Asterix, Darkest of Days, Civil War Secret Missions? Does Combat Wings NTSC even really exist? I'm very interested in what everyone else would say based on what they've seen in the wild. To note, I'm not asking about intentionally limited collectors editions and the like, just normal releases. I can't help but think a lot may have flown under the radar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Count | 527 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I couldn't say what is truly hard to find, but Darkest of Days and Civil War: Secret Missions are not uncommon. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l2632&_nkw=civil+war+xbox+360&_sacat=139973&LH_TitleDesc=0&_odkw=civil+war+ps3&_osacat=0 https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=darkest+of+days+xbox+360&_sacat=139973&LH_TitleDesc=0&_odkw=asterix+xbox+360&_osacat=139973 Asterix seems to be hard to find, however. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybrid | 426 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 The normal version of this one is pretty common can be found easily on eBay (Didn't really need a pic but I wanted to show mine off ) If you mean el chavo kart there's a few on eBay with a $100 price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drxandy | 3,225 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) Operation darkness published by atlus might have a smaller print. NBA elite 11 was recalled I think and is probably the rarest. Edit: I googled a bit, "armored core for answer" is another sleeper like operation darkness, marvel alliance gold edition has delisted dlc Edited August 29, 2023 by drxandy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultGen | 5,405 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I know nothing about Xbox 360 but bought a copy of Autobahn Polizei once because it seemed cool and uncommon. Like most of the games discussed, there’s still a bunch available or sold, but it seems maybe in the same range? I am much better versed in Xbox and I tend to say there are no truly rare regular black label Xbox games, which could be the same case for 360 beyond NBA Elite 11 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asterix is one that I've never seen in the wild, but I recall reading somewhere that it was primarily a Canadian NTSC 360 exclusive, one of the few such ones. It doesn't seem to have very many copies online at any one time. Secret Missions is one that I've only ever seen once in the wild, and didn't realize existed for years. It's the sequel to the much more common A Nation Divided, which probably threw me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only ever seen Autobahn Polizei once and because it was so unusual to see a 360 game that I didn't know about I got it. Now, it could just be a regional rarity and nobody bought it in my area.

Chaos Control | 70 Posted August 31, 2023 Author Share Posted August 31, 2023 Just to check, does an NTSC Combat Wings actually exist? It seems mythical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
360collector | 289 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 360 collecting is still all over the place and very few titles are really established as rare. Some random sports titles usually. It seems whenever a game goes up a lot more are listed. What you should be focusing on are those good uncommon games that just keep going up in price like several mentioned here. Operation Darkness went for around 50 bucks when I made the saved search but when I bought it recently it was like 100. Culdcept Saga as mentioned. Im currently looking for the Raiden games and the 2 Konami Classics. Maybe look into the Gundam games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultGen | 5,405 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Just thought of a good one we haven't mentioned: Madden 09: En Espanol. Madden 08: En Espanol is probably up there with all these kinda rare games too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
final fight cd | 186 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 How do you define a “rare” 360 game? Like, a game that doesn’t have 30 copies on eBay? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, a game that doesn’t have 30 copies on eBay? Pretty much, but less than 10 copies at any one time. For the likes of F12013 and FIFA 19, even zero copies.

Strange | 1,700 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) Another vote for Autobahn Polizei. I used to frequent GameStops back when I first started collecting and had no real established goals yet and this is one that I only ever saw one copy of in that long stretch of time. Anecdotal, yes, but isn’t that how all the best video game rarity lists are made Edited September 20, 2023 by Strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
