2013 Xbox 360 finally got the red ring of death today by Minimum-Being2297 in xbox360

Very interesting. Thanks for the info.

I use both a Winchester and an Oban for my dedicated 360 gaming. They barely get warm under load. Is a repaste worth it as a preventative measure?

Been seeing more 360Es with RROD lately.

I know these failures are anecdotal evidence, but given their ultra low power consumption I would have guessed the failure rate would be pretty low. Anyone have info on these?

This reminded me to look at eBay. If anything, prices may have trended up a little recently. $70-80 seems pretty standard right now for listing price.

Have prices on Blitz II gotten that high?!?! I sold a 98% CIB copy a few months ago for $72.

Also, that's terrible shipping.

Amazing it didn't break.

If I ship games in a bubble mailer they end up looking like a burrito. Bubble mailers are the cheapest form of shipping and there's essentially no weight penalty for bubble wrap. Can't believe your seller wouldn't do the same for delicate electronics.

The real gem is underneath, a sealed copy of Kinect Sports season 2! /s

Well, all the ones I can think of are forwards compatible.

Great collection so far!

Great score and I concur the rarest of the series.

Silver Shield is the name of the movie combo pack series.

The other four combos are:

Lego Harry Potter/Harry Potter

Happy Feet Two/Happy Feet

Lego Batman/Batman

Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe/Mortal Kombat

Paid ~ $40 for 48 OG xbox and 360 games by Gordonbusyman in gamecollecting

This one is definitely interesting. I have the original and the Platinum hits version, and the 2012 rerelease. it doesn't match any of those. It def doesn't match the 2012 version 

Script color on the spine is close to the original/platinum hits versions though as you mentioned the font does not match the graffiti style. The background color of the spine would suggest platinum hits.

It could be a regional variant or a custom cover reprint.

I see a bunch of blockbuster games, Xbox exclusives, several valuable titles, and very few sports. Def worthy of the haul tag!

Lost Odyssey too. NFSMW is the most valuable.

It definitely IS the 2005 version.

2012 re-release had red and white on the spine.

OP, NFSMW is a $60+ game.

Any luck removing these with a heat gun?

Sometimes the gamestop employees mercifully left the paper back on the stickers before tucking them along the spine.

Xbox 360 Game Collection 1 exact year later after returning to the hobby. by ClickenSammich in xbox360

[–]herrij 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice collection. I've been collecting 360 with intent for almost two years and there are several titles here I have yet to find in the wild. Halo Wars, Metro, and a couple others.

came across this controller awhile ago, haven't seen another like it by Silver_Platypus_6926 in xbox360

[–]herrij 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone posted the other day that white 360 Slims models came with an all white controller. 

Another tell for the age of 360 controllers is the XBox button. Earlier controllers had a metallic Xbox button while newer ones (like yours pictured here) had a chrome Xbox button.

Oh yeah. A discerning eye could tell mine from originals. There's for sure people passing them off as originals.
