OGX DVT4 Xbox Development Kit XDK

Odd that it wouldn't let me add the same pic in the original post...but here it is.

I'll start this off with my "Tower of Power" display shelf for my most bestest Original Xbox consoles:

@thePiratePimp ooo noice they totally are! I got them from the retailer prize store, after taking quizzes on Microsoft products you could use the points to get extremely discounted games and merch and when you ordered they would slip in one of these copies of the binder sheets. I worked at gamestop for a season to get access, it was sweet getting brand new games for like $10 or less a pop.

oh wow, that's really cool man.  didn't know you had to put in so much work for them.  Great bit of knowledge, thanks man.

I posted these in my pickup thread but I wanna share em here too because they're neat. Found in my paper stash, got these way back when as part of the Xbox retailer program. 

Part of the "retailer program" you say?  You know more about the Retailer Reference Guide?  Looks like those papers came out of there.  I just recently picked up one and it's pretty damn cool.

Great list! I actually just joined the forum because of it. I recently started collecting for Xbox again and it’s a great guide. Luckily I’m only going for the CE/LE/SE games, black label games, and unique games such as the combo packs/Ph combo packs. Going for the variants and preorder bonus stuff would hurt my brain too much lol

Edit: Also, you list Silent Scope Complete in the bundles section, is there any version that actually comes bundled with the game? Ive only seem the gun bundle that says software not included on the box 

Variants are fun...but definitely painful

Naw wasn't me, I'm over halfway on the full set so it's the long haul now bahaha.

I noticed on my copy it seems like there was a printing error on the Xbox logo top left, missing the shadow? 

wondering if that's on your copy? and then further speculating they may have decided to throw these misprints out as promo items?

Edit: I found the sold eBay one and I am also seeing the same printing error!!

I'm up to around 600 now, but I only buy games from people when I can get them bulk and cheap.

Mine matches yours, and when I compare it to other PH titles, all of the green seems darker than the other titles.

I consider it a variant too, love different art.

I was going through some of my Xbox stuff and found this copy of dead to rights that I got as a pre-order bonus with breakdown pretty sure from gamestop. I remember preordering specifically for the extra game but when it was all promoed' up I couldn't open it and stashed it away thinking it would be worth something one day.. honestly just think it's a cool part of my collection now haha

 

 

The back had a hangtab and drilled out barcode as well.

I have this one as well, sticker on the front and burned upc on the back saw another one (maybe this one) listed on ebay not too long ago for a great low price.

minor sticker nonsense

Speaking of HTF, I've made a video of a recent find for probably the rarest OGX title out there.

Didn't know about these until the other day, and it's awesome to find a list for these.  Something else to obsess over.  At least this is an easy one to knock out, until more are found.  Thanks.

Has anyone else noticed that the standalone Jet Set Radio Future has an artwork variant? One has a shine/holofoil and another is matte.

Good thing these games are so cheap!

@DefaultGen I'm really digging what you've started here, and honored and grateful for the shoutout.  I started my site because of the serious lack of information and to help promote sharing of knowledge.  I know that some people like to hoard all of the good info, but sharing like I have has helped me find a great network of like minded collectors that have helped me more than I could have done on my own, and for the most part I don't mind sharing the hunt because I know how obsessive I am and also that most people are going after regular games and not going to look into variants until they've finished the main stuff (kind of a weird sentence but hey...I do what I do).  That works for me since I'll be well ahead of them by that time.

Most of my site is built off of my phone (and honestly a huge pain), I then hop on the computer when time allows and attempt to clean up any formatting issues that I can.  I still have a lot of stuff I haven't had the chance to upload yet, but now my plan is to upload basic photos for everything and then accompany that with a video that goes into more detail.

I'm always open to suggestions because my brain can only handle so much.

Once again, thanks for this, I have learned a few more things which is awesome and look forward to seeing what others have to offer.
