Certain 360 Games...

Does Anyone know if Dead Rising and Crackdown are games that are either :

- Hard to find
- Hard to find complete
- Hard to find in large quantities
- Hard to find in good condition
- Hard to find New
- Hard to find without the obnoxious greatest hit cover art

I would like to know because I just got my xbox back from repair 5 days ago, yesterday i bought gta 4 and wanted to see how it could be done on new hardware. Up until yesterday dead rising would be the only game i played since new years day 08'. Yesterday, at gamestop when I picked up Gta IV i noticed that dead rising will still rn for $ 30, and right beside dead rising was a copy of crackdown and it also is still $30, back on new years day i had to choose between Dead rising and crackdown and even though at that point they were both a little more than a year old they were $30 bucks. I also went to a thrift store in April when i visited my grandma, and even in the salvation army Crackdown will set you back $20

Notice : I visted a gamestop thats in the local mall (in florida( to buy Dead rising and a totally different one about 2 hrs away near the border of alabama to buy gta 4 and a salvation army thats in Illinois, so i've been to 3 totally different locations to come to this conclusion.

-----------------------

Also, why are games like Prey and Quake 4 $9.99 at gamestop.

I went both the gamestops that i bought Gta 4 and Dead rising in, and games such as Prey, Quake 4, and Saint's Row are being sold for little more then pocket change i understand that saints row is pretty much obsolete because of Gta 4, but Prey and Quake to two games that are too good for the shit box at gamestop.

Dead Rising wasn't too hard to complete. It was fun, though. It was easy to find, but I'm not sure about these days. It sold well over a million units so finding a used copy shouldn't be too hard.

Crackdown doesn't seem too common. The 360 version is easier to find, but the Genesis version is superior.

I haven't seen Dead Rising in the stores here lately. I love that game. Unlocking all the scenarios ...:D

Yea i've been wanting to compare 360 crackdown to genesis crackdown and see how ambitious genesis crackdown was for its time.

I think that when people pawn their 360's for money, keep the copies of games like halo, gears of war, and Dead rising. It's like people who pawn their ps2 for another console will ussually keep gta 3, metal gear solid 2, and god of war. Its really weird but I have friends who keep the killer apps of consoles when they pawn the console for something else and dont have any plans to buy the pawned system again, and they dont sell those games or treat them as collectables, they just sit there... this is probably why you'd rarely see gta 3, persona, or Raiders of the lost ark for 2600 in thrift stores or yard sales, and these people are also the same guys who have dvds all over their car.

AFAIK neither one of those will be very hard to find. Finding them compl33t and in good condition will obviously be a little more difficult as in 2008 its still not cool to take care of your stuff for some reason :/

Dead Rising and Crackdown were popular games, so they'll keep their value for a while. I think DR is now on the 'Classics' label, so perhaps you can find it cheaper elsewhere?

Quake 4 was a launch title, so it'll be cheaper than more current releases.

I know Dead rising is on the "classics" label, but have you seen how fucking obnoxious and wierd that label is. ALSO FIRST EDITION GAMES HOLD MORE VALUE THEN GREATEST HITS GAMES, SEALED OR UNSEALED. CASTLEVANIA SYMPHONY OF THE NIGHT (FACTORY SEALED) HAD SOLD FOR $317, THEN IN THE SAME MONTH, A GREATEST HITS OF SYMPHONY OF THE NIGHTS (FACTORY SEALED) SOLD FOR $17. I HAVE A MAGIZINE SOMEWHERE THAT HAS THIS DISPLAYED AND TOLD, I HAVE TO SCAN THIS IF ANYONE WANTS TO SEE.

Notice : also this is caps locked to put emphasis on my point, don't frikkin edit this.

Quake 4 is still a great game, even if halo 3 came out, there is no damn excuss to throw away a good game. San Andreas is still $20 used and San Andreas is also a good game and its about 2 years older then Quake 4

Quake 4 is just Doom 3: Quake 2. It was a better game than Doom 3, yes, but multiplayer was just Quake 3: Doom 3.

And Crackdown should be easy to find, since the vast majority of people bought it to play the Halo 3 beta. Not that it wasn't a good game, but come on, you really don't expect the majority of 360 owners to have taste, do you? Halo didn't sell millions because it was an amazing game packed with amazing gameplay.

These games aren't rare, and hell, cheap. Why are you asking this, if you own the games? Hell, these games, at that? They where popular... it's not like you're talking about Barbie Horse Adventure, or Pulse Racer.

OK, if you don't own them, or really want them THAT fucking badly... just buy them on eBay. Don't like it? Tough deal, it's either that, or wasting gas money looking for the games used at a game stop, but tough again since if you buy a used copy, the price sticker will be on the insert, making it just as worthless as a platinum hits copy. :roll:

Now, I've bought lots of games that had PH editions, and I can tell you, just ask the seller a question, or wait for an auction to appear with a photo.

Or gimme your zip code and I can see which stores have them near you ;)

From there you can call and have someone there find the box and see if it has the original box art/manual/that dreaded price sticker on the insert.

I don't really care, since I don't have a 360... and not really looking at buying one presently.

Damn david, this is a comment i would expect from joe if he still hated me. For you're information, I am looking for Crackdown and I HAVE A USED DEAD RISING WITHOUT STICKERS ON THE DAMN INSERT, I DONT KNOW WHAT TYPE OF FUCKED UP GAMESTOP YOU LIVE BY :| . For some reason there's not a scratch on this game, its like the guy who owned it before me never played it. AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, TAKE IT EASY. APPARENTLY GAMESTOP HAS SCREWED YOU OVER MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT GO TO A GAMESTOP IN ENGLAND, MISSISSIPPI, OR FLORIDA AND THE STAFF AREN'T COMPLETE JACKOFFS.

Because I haven't seen them on store shelves (First run copies) or at used game stores (atleast in complete and in fair condition) and would like to see the general concept of their value.

That totally destroys the point of collecting games, to get out of the house and have a hobby that your enthusiastic about. Any Jackass with a dial-up connection can buy anything online.

EDIT (by Sega Fan): I really need to get out the habit of using Caps Lock to put emphasis on my point.

I really couldn't care less if a game was new or used or in the Platinum Hits box (silver really isn't as bad as red or green).
As long as it has the case and is not sandblasted to all hell I'll buy it and play it until I'm sick of it.

Money doesn't come THAT easy,
so I rarely pay full price for games anymore, even if it's to support a favorite franchise or publisher.

OK, I went to a gamestop not far from the DC area. Guess what! The games had stickers on inserts, so it's not just my area back home!

I used to live in NY, and all games where fucked up there too.

:roll:

You utter snob.

...although I wouldn't expect someone named after a Streets of Rage boss to have anything original to say (not that it wasn't a good game)

If you don't have anything nice to say about the Xbox 360, IN AN XBOX 360 THREAD, then eat a dick.

Try going to a gamestop in southern states, the southern gamestops aren't complete idiots and take gaming as a serious hobby. I wish you luck in future visits to gamestops. ;)

It's pretty pointless, since I do most of my game shopping these days on ebay and the like. Gas is a killer, and I live like 10+ miles from any decent shopping.
