    And Steel Battalion is mainly so "expensive" due to its giant flight stick, not really the fact that its rare, atleast, I've seen far to many to count it as rare.

    bollocks it is rare, uncommon yes. I say this as it's quite easy to pick one up as they do appear on ebay frequently. in Japan the game Fatal Frame II tends to sell in excess of 20,000 yen (about $230), which is generally more expensive then the Y15,000 ($150, 100 quid) that Steel Battalion / Tenki sells for.

    Probably some of the ps2 ports, like Fatal frame 1 /2 . I know the recalled Kakuto Chojin is rareish but no one liked that game.

    I didn't know Fatal Frame was rare. I rented it once. Do you think I could I buy it on the cheap and make some money off it?

    The first Fatal Frame game isn't that rare, the second one is though but as assembler said most xbox games don't sell for that much, even in Japan where the xbox was bought by 8 people, you tend not to see that many xbox games and they tend to stay static when you do find a shop with them.

    not sure on values but there were couple of very early Japan only releases that I think might be rare as it took me ages to find a copy - sealed or not.
    Every time I go to Japan I usually sneaked out of hotel room after missus gone bed and spend few hours browsing couple of shops for those elusive ps2/xbox copies... ^ ^

    Well what they say is true fatal frame 2 the english american copy might be slightly rare still only worth like $50. The japanese copy thats the rare one worth like 300.

    In my neck of the woods any XBox game is "rare" per se. The local EB's and such don't usually have any of the games and the locals usually scoff at the idea of the original XBox for some reason to the point where one of my good friends did the other day when I mentioned my Phillips DVD-ROM had died and I was looking for replacements. Surprisingly given his love of the NES.

    Steel Battalion is only "rare" as it was once expensive. Actual rarities should be renamed uncommon really. Kinda hard to find those Burger King games but they aren't expensive.

    Are the Xbox ports of the PS2 Galaxy Angel games rare? (only the first one, or the first two were ported, I think)

    I think Play-Asia used to carry them.

    Some games, especially Japanese ones, have increased in value over the past few years when the Xbox was discontinued. Some good examples are JSRF (4000yen+), Metal Wolf Chaos (5000+) and a couple of limited editions like OutRun 2 or Ninja Gaiden (the Korean Boxset).

    People claim the guy game is rare due it under US law containing child pornography. The girl was like 2 weeks from her birthday and couldn't wait to whore herself out. I've seen it pretty much every time I've been in small chain stores though that don't know about it.

    CP? Seriously? So they confirmed her age after the shooting was done and decided to keep her in or something?

    From what I read the company that shot the footage was basically like a girls gone wild type of group and her age wasn't confirmed until she raised hell after the game was released.

    There was 't recall for the sold ones, so it's not valuable.

    I'd say the only valuable games are Japanese as they sold poorly.
    Maybe someday weird health software? I remember there was an
    xbox golf game with a club.

    N.U.D.E. is indeed pretty stable. It's always been at 60$ as long as I can remember. I wonder if the game was any good if the Japanese language wasn't a problem. It has perfectly vanished from Western reports ever since the huge presentation at the Tokyo Game Show 2002 or 2003.
    Was it a good game, did the communication with your robo girl work fine like in Seaman?
