I'm pretty clued in as too what games are rare on PS1, NES, SNES, etc  But when it comes too Xbox I am really quite lost.  So could anyone maybe make a list or suggest some Xbox games that I might look out for on my next trip to the pawn shop?

Excellent question. I don't know of any rare games off the top of my head, but you know that wafle and gmsnpr (and others) will know of a couple...

Well I don't know about anyone else but as far as I'm concerned, here's some that I would consider on the 'rare' side. And by rare, I don't necessarily mean that they expensive, just that I rarely see them new or used in stores. Also, I am including some multiplatform titles because I've found that sometimes I'll find a gazillion of a certain game on PS2 but hardly find any on Xbox. When I purchase a mutliplatform title, I usually will default to Xbox as the console of choice as it tends to look a little better on that system over the GC or PS2.

First up, multiplatform:

  • Gladius
  • Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (I don't think this had a very large print run on any platform as it was made after Chamber of Secrets. EA had made a HP and the SS on the PS1 and PC in 2001 which I believe was right around the release of the GC, Xbox, and PS2 so I think they wanted to revisit the game once better hardware was available but since there was really no movie release to help hype the game release it did not sell as well as the other HP's on the same systems)
  • Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance
  • Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II
  • Psychonauts (I see millions of these on PS2 relative to what I see on Xbox, not exactly rare yet, but I think it may be later)

Exclusive (not counting PC)

  • Crimson Sea
  • Gunvalkyrie
  • PGR
  • PGR 2 (I don't actually ever recall seeing this so I'll chalk it up as rare)
  • Arx Fatalis
  • Scrapland
  • Panzer Dragoon Orta (I used to see alot of these but lately I've not seen them very often)

Now, one thing you should know about me (which some of you may already know) is that if it's a Platinum Edition or if it's not in the retail case (disc only sale in a generic case), I don't ever look at those.  So some of those titles may exist in that form but I don't ever see them, cause they are dead to me.

I'm sure there are others, but there's a start.

orta isn't cross-platform... I agree with your list, I will add a few right now but not all the ones I know of... Crimson Sea is only rare in origional solo release, PGR 1 &2 are also only rare in solo non GH release. I wouldn't call Gun Valkary rare because my Wal*Mart still has a bunch listed at 29.89 and I got mine in a discount bin for 1.99... I'll add: Kakuto Chojin - reason for rarity is that it was vaulentarily pulled from stores for religiously offencive background lyrics... it's a much better fighter then DoA or Tekken. Steel Battalion - reason for rarity is that they are limited in number AND somewhat useless now... 2 verients exist. A green button controller (version 1) and a blue button controller (version 2, re-release) Spikeout Battlestreet - low production numbers... Call of Cathulu - low production numbers GTA San Andreas (origional edition) - HOT COFFEE! Volvo Drive For Life - promo game, really only worthwile if you own a wheel. Air Force: Delta Storm - low production on the XBOX, other systems were high. MvC2 - !? Digimon Rumble Arena - low numbers. Digimon World 4 - low numbers. more later. I'm glad we did this, I might try to get a PS2 and GC one up since the 3 are going out it's a good time to pull togeather this list.

I'm going to have to double-check my wal-mart and see if they've got it in bargin bin. I've only ever seen it once used.

Marvel vs Capcom 2 is reported to be difficult to find for XBox. The Otogi games are worth finding too.

I think Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 is rare and one of the most expensive xbox games there is.  Call of Chutulu is another that you won't see very much. 

Fatal Frame 1 had some value for a while but I've noticed it has gone down in price at EB/Gamestop.

My 2 picks for games that will be hard to find in the future are

Dreamfall and Samurai Showdown 5.  They have come out at the end of the life cycle and will probably be overlooked.

Crazy Taxi III, Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis and Futurama are uncommon, I don't know if I'd say rare.  For a time, The Guy Game was tough to locate, but I see it frequntly these days.  The original pressings of GTA Double Pack with the line "Kill All Haitians" intact is reputedly rare, but it's hard to tell the difference between that version and the later prints from the packaging alone.  Here are some others that can be hard to find:

Barbie Horse Adventures
Curse: The Eye of Isis
Obscure
Syberia 1 & 2
Xyanide

a few of those are rare the rest are low because they aren't very popular... we should play Shattered Union online sometime, I've only gotten to play it online twice (see review) and I'd like play with someone who isn't a D-bag.

Plus I looked at it today. It has NO MANUAL. Sad. ;-;

I desired it, that's why I baught it. ebay has 99% of things cheaper then Gamestop/EB, everyone should use ebay instead and drive GS back into the depths of hell where it came from.

there aren't words harsh enough to show how I feel about Gamestop
