    That's not why it is here. Look closer at the title.

    Sadly it's somewhat common. I used to see a lot of Nintendo Playstation, Nintendo Atari, and a few Nintendo XBox.

    $400 for an XBOX headset, that's pretty much useless? :|

    Also the reason why VGA is partly to blame, it's like chocolate cover shit. Also why are there VGA graded current gen items for?

    Come to think of it, who actually buys these? Someone out there must be buying this VGA stuff.

    Also, I think the reason people have there current gen stuff graded is that in 15 years they can sell something VGA would grade at a 60 range with a tag that says 80.
    VGA allows it because of $$$.

    Speak for yourself. I still use my original Xbox mic from a year after the Xbox launch and it has worked every time. . . Unlike those horribly shitty Xbox 360 headsets that I went through 3 or more of before telling myself to not waste any more money on such shitty build quality.
    Is it worth $400? No. Fuck No.

    A bright future.

    I searched eBay for VGA graded and clicked on sold auction. Quite a lot was sold with the highest being a measly $160. So they do sell but not at crazy price like some of those sellers are holding for.

    1.3k for a mass produced controller you can't use.

    It'd odd because, a headset being VGA graded is just out of the question. VGA doesn't make sense to me, and any one who buys them have to be a bit slow in the head.

    That's understandable. Microsoft have really dropped the ball when it comes to quality with the 360, it's actually the main reason why I dislike the console all together. I'm not say Sony haven't either.

    Are the headsets easy to find in the US? I'm currently looking for one.

    Original Xbox headsets? If so, I doubt they are easy to find anywhere (besides online, of course). Also, the Xbox headsets had a tendency to easily break apart where the speaker and mic connects to the head-piece, so finding one in good condition used is usually pretty out of the question. If you are looking to get some ltd. edition Halo 2 mini headset like above, I am sure it would cost a pretty penny.

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Xb...t=Video_Games_Accessories&hash=item3ccf242ebe

    This is exactly what I was talking about with them breaking. eBay doesn't seem to have any sealed headsets, either. My mic is broken just like that, so I taped the end that broke, and whenever I use it I wear my hat and tuck the tape up in there. ^_^ My cheap way to continue gaming.
    So Xbox mics have a tendency to have snapped off mics, while Xbox 360 ones just flat-out quit working all together.

    If you are really looking for a mic to use while gaming, I am sure some 3rd party ones would be superior, but I am assuming it's for your mighty Xbox collection!

    Sure is for the collection. Then I guess that leaves buying a Live Set is worth it. I'm currently hunting down some Live Sets :)

    Thanks for the info bro!

    There should be a new system implemented on Ebay.

    If you put a game up for twice the highest selling price a hand comes out of the screen, slaps you and tells you to ''stop being a cunt''.
