I think the game cases with the Microsoft employee store sticker are cool, pieces of gaming history of a practice Microsoft held as a perk for their employees.

This was awesome, it's rare to see someone talk about OG Xbox game collecting, it doesn't get enough love! Though I suppose that also works in our favor, since games are often way cheaper than their Playstation and GameCube counterparts.

It's not that rare. I watch plenty of OG content because I only collect 6th and 7th gen xbox and psp.

[@MatticusFinch1820]

Facts! its the best kept secret of 6th gen. The 3rd party games run better and look better than PS2 or Gamecube more often than not and are half the price usually.

Your set is good start to build a collection but there are many valuable and rare titles hard to find….Manhunt, Obscure, Fatal Frame, Silent hills, stubbs the zombie, the Punisher…. Outrun, crash Team Racing, still Life,etc… i personnaly go for the full set of titles compatible on Xbox One and Series (around 62 titles….) keep on!
