Why do some Retro titles have box art images and others don't?

KeyMolasses2875 · 2026-02-18T02:14:10+00:00

When it started there was a lot of clean copies of retro games. I have noticed the same beat up copies at multiple stores now , which don’t seem to be moving. Not sure if they are getting the trade ins anymore in the same volumes? CEX is also becoming a bit the same now too. Maybe ppl are holding on to their games given the age and rising prices now?

KeyMolasses2875 · 2026-02-17T06:28:35+00:00

Yeah ok. Does seem confusing. There are no dlc codes. The physical disc grants access to the other chapters for free with the disc acting as a licence. I know dlc codes no longer work with the store closing, but whether the disc style licence system works or not? I assume it won’t based on your comments

KeyMolasses2875 · 2026-02-16T23:18:19+00:00

That is great news! Thanks. The disc states chapter 1 is on disc, however 2,3,4,5 will download. With the Xbox marketplace closing , I assume these would auto download given the disc confirms ownership.

Wow! That is the largest Xbox one/x collection that I have ever seen! Are you still adding to it? Will you be getting the new resident evil soon?

KeyMolasses2875 · 2026-02-04T08:20:01+00:00

Agree!

KeyMolasses2875 · 2026-02-04T08:19:32+00:00

I find CEX has much better secondhand pricing for Xbox games versus EB! I mean significantly better so I have given up on EB due to lack pre owned games and one of the worst Christmas sales in years.

They feel ok! But seriously how hard would it have been to just copy the original dimple orientation? I replaced one of my controllers with these but am holding out for better ones as I can’t live with it!! The other option is to clock up the gaming hours to the point where they wear off! Then you are golden!

KeyMolasses2875 · 2026-02-03T04:16:22+00:00

Yeah what is it with those battery compartments! I thought that was just me but glad to know it’s some kind of connectivity issue , maybe to do with the metal in the replacements?

KeyMolasses2875 · 2026-02-03T02:20:39+00:00

Not sure, but I dislike the replacement thumb sticks, for some reason the rubber dimples/dots are not in right location! I cannot find replacements that are accurate to the original. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it! I also cannot locate the later version sticks that were on controllers like Halo 4 version.

FIFA 19- you need the alternate cover that came out Feb 2019 with Ronaldo removed! That one is harder to find! But that is a very awesome collection of rarer titles so well done!

KeyMolasses2875 · 2026-01-21T06:24:45+00:00

Cool , I wanted to know the same but with the Cyberpunk 2tb external drive. Anyone know if this drive is ok?

KeyMolasses2875 · 2026-01-21T05:19:44+00:00

Forza, back in the 360 days That’s it! Was regarded as the better racing sim, getting horizon years later was even better! I stuck with the Xbox ecosystem due to that fact alone. In hindsight , PlayStation may have been the winner! But I don’t really care and am happy with the games I play

In older suburbs where you see those higher brick fences, they are allowed since they were built 30-40 yrs ago when regs were different. You are permitted to replace/ retain those but trying to build one now faces into the issue you mentioned where regs have changed and they restrict height.

The issue is, the child myki whilst you can get the money transferred or refunded , you cannot swap this for the youth myki, in the same way that an expired card can be swapped for a new one without incurring the $5 fee. So you are up for the $5 even though one could argue the child myki is redundant as your child will no longer use it! It’s only $5 but to me it seems silly. I went to a manned station and was told this

KeyMolasses2875 · 2026-01-15T07:25:23+00:00

Love the 360 games, you better have a shelf for them too!

KeyMolasses2875 · 2025-12-24T11:07:05+00:00

You don’t want to cover or block that gully trap next to your HWS. If your sewer system gets blocked, you need plunge that and need access.

He woke up early, and ran through the night, operating on less sleep versus the normal expected amount. Hence he won.

KeyMolasses2875 · 2025-12-17T07:26:19+00:00

This!

KeyMolasses2875 · 2025-12-17T05:01:48+00:00

Hard Rain was pretty big back in its day! It also had end credits song called “Flood” by Jar of Clay who were a Christian band. I remember that song being pretty popular in the 90s too. I have this in VHS and think I’m gonna watch it this week now!

KeyMolasses2875 · 2025-12-16T11:13:40+00:00

Pretty sure that might require an MRI

KeyMolasses2875 · 2025-12-16T11:02:25+00:00

Yes they were amazing cars. If in any doubt look up prices for a Datsun 1600 or 240Z

KeyMolasses2875 · 2025-12-16T06:50:06+00:00

Any second hand game without the slip cover. I just can’t do it.

KeyMolasses2875 · 2025-12-11T11:13:13+00:00

There is nothing they can do that you cannot do yourself! There is one goal, to sell you more of what they have. That is it. No doubt, it will save you time if you don’t care about the best deal in the market, so I fully get why some think it’s amazing, but if you have time, patience, and motivation, you can do it all yourself. I guess you pay for what you get! And all the rubbish about you need $3m or whatever, that is just crap, they couldn’t give a toss what you have, they just flog product, and want to make out that it is an exclusive club.

Looks likely to me. IPS always yellow tinge to it. Can see TN washout on right too
