    I never could get ahold of that one, the local Burger King only carried whatever it was that had you sneaking up on people to deliver them food. Was pretty fun for a bit but after that it just became monotonous for some basic achievements (on the 360 at least). If you stop by there again and see a copy grab it for me and I'll send you some cash for it+shipping and then some for a finders fee. :thumbsup:

    I'm also not sure how this one went past me, but when XBox Live was doing their beta testing they shipped out a special (orange?) memory card for public beta testers as well as a disk with ReVolt! (also released on the Dreamcast, PC and Playstation amongst others) and NFL Fever. ReVolt being totally worth acquiring the disk as I have attempted many times. Last time I spoke with someone who had it they said it wasn't very playable since the Live beta has been over for some time (since early 2002 I believe) and Microsoft shut down the servers for ReVolt.

    It escapes me exactly where I had this conversation but I recall speaking with someone who had several XBox ReVolt betas. Never could convince him to send a copy of the data to an associate who knew his XBox stuff. Had a beta of what appeared to be ReVolt 2 as well iirc.

    If we want to talk about RETAIL XBox games this one is out of the question as it never got a retail release. Rent A Hero is also floating around on the internet but it got canned at a very late stage of development but never did get a retail release. Probably akin to Propeller Arena in that regard.

    I'd say start hunting for edutainment titles, or regional titles, like france only games or similar.

    You can't wait to get nude? I didn't need to know that! :lol:

    As for the question, define rare. It really means that it's either hard to find or there were few copies available. Price has nothing to do with it. Also, I'm sure that there are some games that are rare in one territory as they weren't released there (e.g. the Burger King games didn't come out in the UK), but they're available in bargain bins in their home country.

    Steel Battalion sat on our shelf for years before someone bought it. And Outrun 2006 was pretty common here. We had new and second hand copies in most of the time.

    Yep, but you can still get some fairly uncommon ntsc-j games from japanese game stores, that are nowhere to be found on eBay. At least you could back in 2007 (last time I visited Japan). Funny thing is, when it comes to PS3 vs Xbox 360 comparsion, you can easily see that X360 have more games made exclusive for Japan than Sony's system ;) (not that I am a fanboy of one particular system ;-)).

    JSRF is rare. It was shock for me when I saw that sealed japan version cost ~80$ on eBay. I bought it about 2 years ago on polish auction site for 20zł (5 euro) and I still have it sealed and unopened.

    Outrun 2006 Coast 2 Coast is a lot rarer than I expected... At least more expensive. Too bad mine's an ex-rental, though I did only pay $5 for it.
