>consoles are cheap>games are cheap, even the highly-sought onesHow has the original Xbox remained so affordable even in 2025? Did Xbox owners just have a lower incidence of autism or something?
I seem to recall that GT2002/JSRF disc coming with the console. It was very, very common and I played the fuck out of it.
>>12140461>>12140461Xbox games tend to be cheaper because most people who actually play games on an original Xbox modded their console and play off the HDD. The last thing you want to do if you have an original Xbox is play physical games on one. Almost all of them have garbage DVD drives.
>>12140503If the games are only in-demand by collectors, shouldn't they be more expensive?
>>12140461Why is JSRF so fucking bipolar I swear last year that game was going in the $50s now it's back to like 20s.
>>12140513There are definitely some limited print run and late release games that are worth a decent amount more but Xbox collecting is a lot less popular relative to the amount of games out for the system.In terms of collectibilityNintendo >> Sega >>>>>> Sony >>>> Microsoft
>>12140515Some Jewtuber probably made a video about it that caused a price spike, and now things have returned to the status quo of nobody giving a fuck about the Xbox.
>>12140557PlayStation collecting is the most common Nintendo second. It's just a matter of there being a lot more games for PlayStation and Nintendo frankly being a little more niche because of their demographic target. In retros stores PlayStation sells the most always.
>>12140461I think it has to do with certain consoles being more appreciated than others. Nintendo stuff is always more valuable than other gaming brands because it has had so much impact and soul. Many people don't view Microsoft in that same way, even though OG Xbox has soul.
>>12140558HEY GUYS METAL FAGGOT HERE TODAY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SUM HIDDEN GEMS!
>>12140515the pack in was never pricy, stand alone is rarer and harder to get.
No mentally ill cultist fanbase
>>12140515same, i guess it was the standalone i was looking at cause i remember it being like 40 bucks at a local game store.
Aside from Steel Battalion what are the most expensive games?
>>12140461>How has the original Xbox remained so affordable even in 2025Ease of piracy
>>12140861Outrun Coast 2 Coast is crazy expensive.Isn't this game on PS2 and PC? Is the Xbox version unique in some way?
>>12140861outrun 2006, some of the horror games like fatal frame and silent hill, MVC2, Def Jam FFNY, Spikeout, Otogi 2 and Xyanide. Europe has different rare games, some imports like Daemon Vector and shooters like psyvariar 2 and shikgami no shiro 2 are pricy.Most of this isn't much compared to a mediocre gamecube game really.
I think it's a lot simpler. It's hard to have fuzzy nostalgic feelings for the 4 Trillion dollar company that's best known for Windows and Office.>>12141027Runs a lot smoother and didn't sell nearly as well because it's Xbox.
>>12141464Alot smoother than PS2, I mean. Im aware of the incredible state of the PC game.
>>12141027>>12141464>>12141469The game is built specifically for Xbox. PS2 version is very good and PC version is good *now* but the game literally ran on Xbox hardware in arcades.
Are these things any good?
>>12140461Dudebro console, every adult who grew up with an xbox is now married with kids and not worrying about video games.

>>12140557yeah like >>12140565 said this is wrongit's more like Sony = Nintendo >>>> Sega >>>>>>>>> Xboxmaybe 15 years ago but this is what it's at now
the "not retro" autists will attack me for talking about a console that's nearly 20 years old now but you should buy a 360.it's basically the same price and can be jailbroken so easily to play original xbox AND 360 games that it's a large reason why original xbox games are so cheap.ALSO, i personally think it's cool as hell you can put original xbox game discs into a series X and it will download the game for you.
>>12141805100% accurate tier list, good job
>>12140513supply and demand. collectors might be after them, but there are far FAR more collectors after the PS2 and GCN stuff.
>>12142518Microsoft's commitment to backwards comparability is commendable, but they're still missing a ton of Xbox exclusives that never got PC ports. Blinx 2, Amped, THPS2x and a lot others are still stuck on the original Xbox.
>>12141805Dreamcast and PS1 should be swapped and Saturn moved down two tiers when considering the global market, because Saturn stuff is dirt cheap in Japan.
>>12142518It's not that it's nearly 20 year old, it's that the design fundamentals make the 360 and PS3 modern consoles no matter their age. Our current cutoff line isn't perfect, but the exceptions don't break the rule of 6th gen games being distinctly different from what defines the 7th. You can name exceptions, like Halo online multiplayer and a few experimental moviegames, but they're not a standard, unlike what they are in 7th gen along with HD support and native HDMI output>tldrThere's a small handful of modern games that get by on a technicality, and they're not a reason to expand the rules to allow games from 2013 on this board
>>12140582>HURRRR MUH IMPACT AND SOULNot how collector markets work, retard.
>>12141805>just take them tier>not including PS2There are only a handful of PS2 titles that are actually worth anything. The overwhelming vast majority of its library regularly sells for literal dollars.
>>12143162because the overwhelming majority of PS2 titles were unplayable licensed trash. the PlayStation was the primary shovelware platform until the Wii debuted.
>>12142518>to play original xboxA lot of original xbox games run worse on 360. I've only tried about a dozen myself but they all ran worse.
>>12140461>How has the original Xbox remained so affordable even in 2025?Because "resale market speculators" haven't glomped onto it in droves just yet. Not for lack of trying though, there's already multiple nigtubers trying to push for a bubble but they don't have the subscriber count to cause it.
>>12140461I’d expect prices to start going up relatively soon. The Xbox brand is dying and will be dead soon as a console and will become just another app u can put on ur pc or ps7. Expect YouTubers to use this opportunity to start pushing for collecting Xbox games. I love the Xbox (enjoyed all 3 and owned all 3 from the gen but Xbox was my favorite) and I have a ton of games I’ve found through the years for super cheap like 8 dollars for a sealed copy of PSO. I just enjoyed collecting for Xbox so I’m hoping they don’t push the collectors to it at least until I’m done w my collecting. I’m only missing some of the more “expensive” ones like doa volleyball and def jam fight for ny. Can anyone explain why fight for ny is so expensive?? How did it not get a greatest hits run for every console? I’m guessing it just had a low print run I can’t find a disc only for under 80 that’s working.
>>12141027>Is the Xbox version unique in some way?It's the only one that runs at 60fps with no slowdowns. There's also the HD version, but that was a 360 arcade download
>>12141027Outrun 2 is one of those games that had like 10 different releases across various platforms and no two are exactly the same, so there's not really a "definitive" version. The Xbox version of 2006 is probably the best of 6th gen home ports, though. (but even then, the OTHER Xbox port of the game has a bunch of exclusive levels that I don't think have even been modded into the PC version)
>>12141658>Dudebro consoleI would say that image only started with Xbox 360. The OG Xbox was basically a Dreamcast 2 with all the obscure Japanese exclusives it had, in comparison. The OG Xbox was only around for 4-years before it got replaced by the Xbox 360, so most people (myself included) barely even knew it existed at the time.
>>12143415Halo and XBL kickstarted the dudebro image. stuff like DOA also helped sell it as the 'system for cool teens/college guys' as compared to the GameCube which was for sheltered kids and the PS2 as the normalfag system. It didn't become set in stone until Modern Warfare, though.
>>12143420Yes I would also say that the OG Xbox was more "nerdy" than Xbox 360 just based off the UI and spooky ambient soundscape, it wasn't designed to be "normie friendly" first and foremost like modern consoles are.
>>12140503>Almost all of them have garbage DVD drives.since it's just a modified windows version from the era, can i just throw in any DVD drive from the era or have to use proprietary ones?
>>12143435that's more 'alt teen circa Y2K'. same vibe as the Matrix.
>>12143435ngl the UI is soul
>>12143153People think that way. But whatever dude.
>>12143440no, there's only like 1 kind of drive that works as a replacement and even then you need to mod it to fuck. It hurts but og xbox drives are done and there's no replacing them, mod your xbox to read games off the hard drive before it's too late.
>>12143162I sold a lot of my ps2 games over the last few years and I would say the average price on them is closer to $10 unless it's complete shovelware. You just get a lot less when you sell them as a lot.
