20 Years Later, An Xbox 360 Collector Finally Finishes Their $20,000 Game Library

Some collectors will stop at nothing to complete their collections, even if that means decades have to pass before ever finishing. One such collector was on such a journey, finding and acquiring every Xbox 360 game released, and at the start of this year, that collector has finally finished this now vintage library that totals around $20,000--with the last game being a gift from their son.

Redditor uncleseeth shared their massive library in a post on the r/gaming subreddit on January 2. Starting the collection after receiving their Xbox 360 and Neversoft's Western shooter Gun on Christmas Day in 2005, uncleseeth then went on a mad hunt for every single game ever released on Microsoft's seventh-generation console. From standard editions to different variants, uncleseeth said their collection topped at 1,353 games--well over the 1,256 needed for a "complete set," which doesn't include the variants of various games.

Some games and items were given as gifts, including Efecto Studios' racer El Chavo Kart and the Xbox stand. One game that shocked them to find was The Farm 51's action-adventure Deadfall Adventures, which they described as "kinda [having] Indiana Jones vibes."

But the final title they were missing was Pro Evolution Soccer 2018, which was gifted to them by their son. With that in their possession, the collection was complete and totals roughly $20,000, as the games are estimated to resell for about $15 each after two decades. That said, there is one expensive game in the bunch: F1 2013, which uncleseeth approximated is going for $250 or so.

With an Xbox 360 Elite--their first Xbox 360 got the dreaded Red Ring of Death--and a total gamerscore of 497,000, uncleseeth's next goal is to continue chasing more variants and play through the entire library. They said they've played about 800 of the games but only completed roughly 175 of them. That's a lot of games to play.
