Xbox One Trade-in Challenge: Which Game is Worth Most?

What are physical copies of Xbox One games worth these days? Andy and Mike put their Xbox One disc collections head to head in the Xbox One Trade-in Value Challenge to find out which contains the most precious vintage Xbox One games.
Watch along while Andy and Mike each select a scientific sample of their Xbox One archives, then adjudicator Jane checks the trade-in value and determines the best Xbox One games by trade-in value. The winner will be hailed! The loser will be shunned! Only on Outside Xbox!
(We won't actually be selling our precious Xbox One physical media, especially not the promotional review copies.)

In Mike's defense, games sell for more if they have their original box

[@Ryan-ij3ge]

That’s what I said! Plus some have never been opened, that also increases their value

[@scottmatthew9605]

Most of Andys looked to be review copies which probably just came with generic packaging, not surprised he didn't bother to keep it as you can't sell them regardless.

[@DMBLaan]

@@scottmatthew9605 While I agree, I also saw their head to heads during 2020, where Andy and Jane both said they never keep the boxes lol

[@user-xn3uw9gm4m]

So true

[@TySama0]

Only if you're selling to another person, not to a game store.

[@laterkater4213]

The fact that Mike has games that are worth literally nothing and also genuine collectors items somehow makes perfect sense.

That's a vintage gaming console. I am sorry to be the one to break this news to you.

[@adammatis5527]

The last generation where you OWNED the games you bought, ie: You could play them off the disc.

[@mattball8622]

You're fine, people actually care about the 360 (I'm only saying this because I bought an Xbox One and later quietly ditched it for a PS4)

[@Imperial_Squid]

I recently went on a nostalgia binge buying myself a DS and various Pokémon games, those presh mems deserve to be relived!

[@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784]

Dont blame him, they may be worthless to Mike but to Joe Public those are perfectly good copies of games they or their children might want to play. It shows a total disrespect for property, if you dont want it ... donate it.

[@MonkeySimius]

@@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784Nah. Mike runs a KZbin channel where they regularly include clips from older games. There is nothing disrespectful that he holds onto them even if he presently has no intention to play them. It isn't like the supply of any of those games is running so low that anyone is struggling to find them.

[@lynell3902]

I love that Mike has both Battleborn that's worth literally nothing, and the fortnite collectors thing that's worth proper cash

[@marhawkman303]

Yeah if you add up $$ value... Mike wins :p

[@tommctear4672]

Andy, I love you. But your game disc binder is giving me flashbacks of working at GameStop. People who bring discs in to trade without the cases are basically monsters.

[@theisaacpigg27_32]

To me Andy seems like he would store all his games in their cases on a massive shelf perfectly organized to make picking the right game a breeze. Then he shows up with his nightmare bundle of random discs, some of which are even double stacked

As someone who works for a 'popular trade in company' I can confirm that no box means no money 😅 sorry Andy!

[@no_genius]

In the livestream version Andy got the trade-in value of a Guitar hero/Rockband accessory when he didn’t even have the box

[@mar_speedman]

These challenges assume that they have original boxed copies. They know that most of their games can't be sold. They're reviewers, so they get a lot of unresellable review copies

[@reishiki]

I really like these challenges they did during lock-down especially Mike's google translated one.

[@mattball8622]

Mike sat on that working title for so long that I'm genuinely impressed. Takes a lot of restraint to avoid putting all the gold on the table at once.

“Neatly organized folder” and “sack of games” tracks for andy and mike 😂

[@MarkStanley11]

Andy’s games are all worth £0 to these companies without the boxes. Does Andy have the boxes stored at home? If we don’t get a definitive answer with evidence then Mike wins automatically

[@mickey1928geo]

Idk - In the us sometimes GameStop will take them (but don’t count on it)

[@ChaosDeary]

Andy mentioned on the 2020 trade in livestream that he recycles the boxes, so they are technically worthless. But Mike winning by default wouldn’t make for an interesting video

[@akaviri5]

Many of their games are promotional copies, given for free but can't be re-sold (written on the disc), so they would all be worthless

I got all my games in their original boxes... and while not Xbox game, I have PS2 & PS3 games still in the plastic. I do peel of the sticker seals after opening cause they annoy me lol

[@Tazer_Silverscar]

Andy should have won Round Four, assuming you were using a certain notorious 2nd hand store to work out the value of each game. People on Ebay regularly bump up the cost of their games, while that certain 2nd hand store marks their trade in values really far down. The math does not work out, you should be checking like for like. That said, Andy's is unboxed, and it's possible he doesn't even have the box anymore, that tanks the value of it. Perhaps Mike's sheer laziness means he'd get higher value anyway. What I'd really like to know though, what's their Wii games collection like? Wii games have gone up in value, it might surprise you to learn.

[@kelvin1316]

I loved Andy's "Jesus" when Mike got that second bag looked so unscripted! Thumbs up to him lol
