Original Xbox GameFAQs Presents… The Ultimate Xbox Strategy Guide (2004) Saw an ad for this book in an older copy of Official Xbox Magazine (OXM). Took longer than I thought it would but was finally able to get one. (at Indian Land, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf02JAWB30N/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Doom 3 (2004) This is a sticker variant (duh) This really is an oddity and difficult to understand and explain. The green case with the black label cover has the “NOW A SUPER PLATINUM HITS TITLE” sticker that I on the cellophane. Not sure what the disc inside looks like because I’m ballsy enough to open this one up. Super Platinum usually means it’s a “Best Of” Platinum Hits. The grey case with the black label cover has the “NOW A PLATINUM HITS TITLE” sticker on the case itself and every single disc I have found inside has been a Platinum Hits disc. Does the green case have a “Best Of” disc inside? Or just a plain ole black label disc? Me: no clue, but you are always welcome to open one up and find out for me.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (2004) Sony PlayStation 2 Once again, sorry to disappoint but I had to share these and I wish I would have shared them right after my GTA SA AO post but I completely forgot until yesterday when I was sorting though all of my covers. These are from a FYE (For Your Entertainment) store. Not sure if they were exclusive to that retail chain or not, nonetheless they are cool and I had to share.

Zathura (2005) Since @vgcollectaholic is so demanding, here’s some OGXbox variant love. Another shoutout to @ogecksbawks for helping me with this one. Here we have the original concept art that Hollywood Video used for their cover and the regular and movie pass variant.

Original Xbox Console Variants Can’t believe I’ve never shown this off here, but if you follow me on Twitter and see me in one of the FB groups lurking around then you’ve seen it a time to 2. This is a display of the majority of my OGX consoles. Sadly all of these are in storage and could not make the trip to Japan with me.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (2004) This is the “AO” (Adults Only sticker variant. From IGN: “The recent drama, titillation, and controversy surrounding the "hot coffee" modification for Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has reached a sudden climax: the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has changed the game's rating to "AO," or Adults Only. Rockstar has ceased manufacturing of the current version of San Andreas, until the company can offer a version not affected by the mod. The company is also issuing a patch to prevent "hot coffee" access in the PC version.” “Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas' new rating is the conclusion of an investigation by the ESRB of a sexually explicit mini-game made available by a widely-available third-party modification. The so-called "hot coffee" mini-game quickly aroused controversy among politicians and community groups, with most maintaining the game should have received an "AO" rating instead of its original "M," or Mature, classification.” (at San Andreas, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbTp9_0h4Dr/?utm_medium=tumblr

ATV: Quad Power Racing 2 (2003) Here’s a cover variant (1st & 2nd print) that most collectors have no clue about. This “is a racing video game developed by Climax Brighton and published by Acclaim Entertainment under their AKA Acclaim label for PlayStation 2, GameCube and Xbox. It's a sequel to ATV: Quad Power Racing. The game is notable for its inclusion of a three-wheeled ATV, not seen in any other video games, and not sold in the real world since the late 1980s”. (Wikipedia) After Acclaim went bankrupt in 2004, Crave bought the rights to this game (and others) and republished this under their name. The Crave spine art is better and the back is different. Same upc but there’s no number on the spine for the Crave version. Also, huge thanks to @ogecksbawks for not only telling me about this variant, but finding a copy and sending it to me. Great dude and a great person to have in your collecting network. (at Brighton, England) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbJcVECBvvs/?utm_medium=tumblr

Ninja Gaiden (2004) Here’s another pre release cover from Babbage’s (currently GameStop). I think there’s a little water damage to this one, but I’m not sure since there’s no damage to the other side. Not in perfect condition but still unused. The last 2 pics are from eBay for comparison. I’ve got A LOT more covers to show…still waiting on another batch to show up. (at Tokyo Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca_V3P4Bf3L/?utm_medium=tumblr

Panzer Dragoon Orta This is a pre release RP (Rating Pending) cover from Babbage’s (currently GameStop). Basically it’s a placeholder until the actual games arrived in store. This is an unused one in really good shape. The last 2 pics are from eBay for comparison. I’ve got A LOT more covers to show… (at Tokyo Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca8q6C3pKRF/?utm_medium=tumblr

Speaking of picking up a few more of something…I managed to score a few more orange memory cards, what’s better is that I have 3 more not shown!!! NFS 🖕🏼 Honestly though, I don’t hoard much, but these are something I’ll keep snatching up if y’all keep letting me. (at Redmond WA) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca1JtdnhGAk/?utm_medium=tumblr

King King: Peter Jackson’s Production Diaries The first two pics are mine, the 3rd is a pic from IMDB and the last 3 pics are rando movie posters. Description from Amazon The King Kong - Peter Jackson's Production Diaries is an impressive set geared directly toward fans, collectors, and those interested in the film-making process. ... --Rob Bracco (there’s more but IG only lets you write so much) (at Universal Pictures) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaWG7S4hbag/?utm_medium=tumblr

Peter Jackson’s King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie (2005) [Sticker Variant] Not the easiest of sticker variants to find, but not impossible either. I can’t tell if it’s a movie ticket variant as well, because it’s right over where the movie ticket call out would be, and I don’t want to rip the cellophane trying to find out because of course the sticker is on the cellophane. “The game allows players to play as both Jack Driscoll and King Kong. Players use firearms and spears as Jack; and punch, grab and use objects/corpses as Kong, to defend against and fight creatures on Skull Island. The King Kong segments are played from a third-person perspective, while the Jack levels are played from a first-person perspective. The game de-emphasizes the role of a heads-up display, with the developers explaining that this conceivably would help players to get further immersed into the game (although the HUD can be turned on in the settings).” (at Skull Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaKdXHnhJZj/?utm_medium=tumblr

Dead Man’s Hand Original Xbox Marketing Material and Concept Art. I know I’ve been gone from the IG scene for a bit and haven’t posted in like 6 months, but I haven’t been stagnant, just too damn busy with life and kids. One day maybe I’ll scan everything and share it, but right now I’m waaaay too lazy for all of that. (at Madison, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZySklphKWU/?utm_medium=tumblr
