Original Xbox Games, and Bonus Discs!

Been adding to my Original Xbox collection again recently

 Call of Duty 2 Big Red One Collectors Edition
Had this on PS2, but prefer the Original Xbox from this generation of consoles


And now, a couple games and Bonus Discs!


First, I have had this game since right around it's original release

Note: This game was originally an Original Xbox Exclusive, but it was also  included on disc with the Chronicles of Riddick Assault on Dark Athena release for Xbox 360 & PS3 as well.

 Pre-Order Bonus DVD

and with the actual game

 In one of my extra Original Xbox double disc cases I recently acquired.

And next I bought both the game and bonus DVD around the same time.

 Bard's Tale Bonus DVD

And

 Bard's Tale
Complete 

Not in Original case, buty I am swapping over to a two disc case anyway.



I noticed this game was redone by Limited Run Games for the PS4, I may have to get that one too.



A couple nice additions to the collection!

More Items for my F.E.A.R. Collection!

One of my absolute favorite game series of all times, especially the first one, is F.E.A.R.

First Encounter Assault Recon

A horror themed First Person Shooter, I fell in love with the first game when I got it for my Xbox 360 in February 2007, and have played through it twenty+ times. To this day it still remains as the best time I have ever had playing a multiplayer online game, I played almost exclusively every day for a year and a half. And with my hoarding tendencies, I of course need to buy all the F.E.A.R. stuff I can get my hands on. I have a lot that I plan to share on this blog someday, but I recently picked up a couple items and thought I would share them here.

First up a very nice PC copy of F.E.A.R. 2 I got for cheap, $4.00 I believe?




And, I was on board for F.E.A.R. 2 from the beginning, February of 2009 I believe.

But I recently saw two of these come up for sale on eBay, I had never seen these before in the last decade? Not sure where they came from, but I HAD to have one! An eBay listing, a Buy It Now click, a few days shipping and it was mine!

 STEELBOOK!
Alma with Bloody Wings, Very Cool!

And last but not least

I originally got one of these new for the Xbox 360 from Germany (damn prude U.S. rules) back when it was released. And later a sealed copy for PC, so that just left.....


F.E.A.R. 3 Collectors Edition for PS3


Pregnant Alma Figure

Sealed Steelbook

Now I have the Collector's Edition for all 3 systems, Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.



That's it for now, I think I hear the mailman leaving something with a bonus disc in the mailbox?

Stay Tuned

More Bonus Discs for the Collection

Back to my Bonus Disc obsession/compulsion for my Xbox 360 collection

First up, I found someone selling the case and bonus disc for a game I recently picked up (HERE)

 Stranlgehold Collectors Edition
Manual, Registration Card and Bonus DVD

And 

Add my $1.00 game disc and, viola! Complete Collectors Edition.

Yes, I researched online, and the game disc is the same in the standard and collectors editions.

Next up I came across this

 Alone in the Dark
Soundtrack Edition

 Complete

And I finally picked one up I had been watching

Transformers the Game




But Wait, There's More!

I also bought another copy as well, but for Playstation 2



Xbox 360 & PS2 - Same bonus Disc



S'all for now, more to come!

$30.00 Xbox One S

I got a call from a friend of a friend the other day, and they were looking to sell their Xbox One S with controller and power cord as they needed Cigarettes. They knew I buy and resell games and systems, I told them if I had $60-70.00 I would normally be all over it, but I recently had to cut my hours at work to PT, The trials and tribulations of being a single father, and I just didn't have the extra cash right now. So I thanked them for thinking about me, and said if they wanted me to list it for them, to let me now.

3 Minutes later I get a call back that the friend would take $30.00 for it all, He really really needed cigarettes. Well at that point, I couldn't say no.......So, I bought it. The friend gave him the thirty bucks for me, and I paid her the cash the very next day when she brought it over.

And here it is!

Even included the original box

1 TB hard drive, newer than the console controller

So, I hooked it up in my daughters room so she could play Forza in her own room on her own TV, and not take my TV over all the time. Tested the console and controller, everything works great!


Great Deal, Glad I quit smoking 17 years ago......
