Halo Combat Evolved

I was really into First Person Shooters in the early 2000's, and I went out and bought an Original Xbox just so I could play Halo: Combat Evolved.


Now, 17 years later, I seem to have acquired several different versions of the game. How many does one person need? Well, let's take a look shall we?

The original 

Game of the year (my original copy)

Game of the year, Not for resale

Platinum Hits

Best of Platinum Hits

Anniversary Remaster on Xbox 360

And re-released again on the Master Chief Collection on Xbox One



To Answer the Question: How many copies of Halo Combat Evolved does one person need?



Looks like for me, the answer is, Seven



Another thing I would like, but don't Need

The Halo edition Xbox, would look great on a shelf, with all my copies of Halo flanking it.

Original Xbox Game Lot

I had heard about a site called Mercari from a You Tuber, I have been perusing it off and on for a while, but had never come across anything that I just had to have, until last week.....

13 games, $18.00

First, the ones I am not keeping, I should be able to recoup $18.00 with these five. 

I already sold Vice City for $6.00

And the ones I ended up keeping, Kept more then I originally thought I would

I mainly bought the lot for the Racing games

Matt Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 
(eh, still debating, still might sell it)

Big Mutha Truckers

The Original Halo!
Yes I have this for the Xbox, But this is the Not For Resale Version,
Now I have 5 different versions of this game for the original Xbox.

Now onto the stuff I really wanted, These are all complete and in Great Shape!

Rallisport Challenge 2

And now some great Codemasters Racing Games

 Pro Race Driver

 Toca Race Driver 2 with Colin McRae Rally 04

And, these games spawned the Dirt game series I have been obsessed with recently

 Colin McRae Rally 3


 Colin McRae Rally 2005

Codemasters really make some Great racing games, The Colin McRae Games, Dirt Games, Grid Games, I have been enjoying them a lot this year, I highly recommend them to any racing game fan.

Xbox 360 Game Lot Pickup

I was perusing eBay, and I ran across a lot of 11 Xbox 360 games.  It was a But It Now for $13.85? And, four of the games were factory sealed games.


With all the goofy auctions on eBay, where people are too lazy to properly list items in their own individual auctions, They will have a group of items, with a drop down and individually priced items. I read and re-read the auction to make sure it was really a single auction for all 11 games for the $13.85 Buy It Now. My oldest daughter was over one evening, and I had her read the auction as well, to make sure I read it right. She agreed, and I clicked  Buy It Now. They arrived about a week later.

When they arrived, I went through them and decided I was keeping most of them, and would sell the remaining five for $5.00 each or $20.00 for the lot of 5, Make my money spent back, and keep some games for my collection for free!

I am selling the following:

Deus Ex Human Revolution

The Darkness

Fable II

Need for Speed The Run
I am replacing my used copy (I haven't played yet) With this factory sealed copy and selling the used.

 Platinum Hits Battlefield Bad Company 2
When I opened it up to check it out, I found this, The Ultimate Edition Disc, Upgrade! 
Which I will be replacing my Limited Edition Disc with.

UPDATE: Sold off the above extras for $21.00, and got to keep the rest for free!

And on to the Keepers!

F,E,A,R, 2 
A great game, I already have, just keeping this copy for my F.E.A.R. Collection Display

Monopoly

Prince of Persia

 Murdered Soul Suspect - Factory Sealed

 Need for Speed Most Wanted - Factory Sealed

Metal Gear Rising - Factory Sealed
Walmart Bonus Edition with Soundtrack CD


A great lot for the price, Even better since I will be selling ones I don't want for a little more than what I paid. Building the collection for free!
