Current complete list of XBOX 360 games (master thread)

[orrimarrko]

Joe has asked me to take over the 360 guide here at DP, so it looks like this thread will help support that effort.

Thanks to all for any input.

[s1lence]

Check over at www.RFgeneration.com.

I've been updating the 360 list and I believe it to be fairly accurate.

There is also a list here on DP but its a bit behind.

[orrimarrko]

Nice list!

Missing a couple of things for sure:

Lost Planet (Collector's Edition)
Need For Speed: Carbon (Collector's Edition)
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent (Limited Collector's Edition)

Other than that, I think it's all there.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent (Limited Collector's Edition)
I have never heard of this one before, what was special about it?

[orrimarrko]

I have never heard of this one before, what was special about it?

It's the Double Agent with the Red Cover.

[s1lence]

Yeah I know most of the collector editions are missing. Those are the ones that I haven't added yet because I wasnt sure if I was missing one. Now I know what they are. thanks.

[orrimarrko]

You bet - keep up the good work!

[esquire]

Here are a few more missing special editions:

WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2007 (Special Edition)
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas (Limited Collectors Edition)
Viva Pinata (Special Edition) US version; only EU version listed.
Call of Duty 3 (The Ultimate World War II Experience Box Set) - Comes packaged with "The Longest Day" movie DVD with cardboard sleeve covering both. May have been a Best Buy exclusive.

[s1lence]

I'll add those too.

Other then the SE titles I think they are all there, for US releases anyway.

[Neo Rasa]

Low priority but you're missing a ton of faceplates. Check this site out:

I've confirmed the Call of Duty 3 box set (with "The Longest Day" DVD) and of course the Viva Pinata SE.

But I haven't seen the WWE or Rainbow Six: Vegas special editions.

Anyone have a link to a picture of these?

[TheTrench]

Check over at www.RFgeneration.com.

Where do I find this guide? I looked in the system checklist because I thought it would make sense to be in there, but it wasn´t.

[s1lence]

http://i1.ebayimg.com/02/i/000/8d/a0/b828_2.JPG

There is the SE edition picture. I have seen one in Best Buy.

Looking for verification on WWE. It isnt listed on gamestop,gamespot or ebay.

[PapaStu]

Looking for verification on WWE. It isnt listed on gamestop,gamespot or ebay.

I've seen it a few times. Its got that paper slip cover like PREY and is one of those over sized metal tins. One of the doors is Blue, the other Red (Smackdown... RAW). I've looked at it, but am not remembering what was 'special' about it other than there was some kind of Wrestling DVD packaged in it.

We have three in our Gamestop, I can give you the Gamestop SKU tomorrow night if you haven't got it by then.

Edit:

HA! 200230! I was able to bamboozle the official image off Gamestop's site (don't ask ;) ). This is probably the best you'll get unless I check out a copy and scan it for you (we may still have a used one). Only problem with this is that due to the limited release they never bothered putting up an image with the actual ESRB rating (the listing was most likely taken down the day the game was released).

http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/1382/200230brprc4.jpg

The package itself is as PapaStu described it. Comes with an extra book (of wrestling trivia I believe) along with that DVD.





Also, with regards to Call of Duty 3. There's a version that has the soundtrack included. We'll rarely have it traded in here, I don't think this is from the Best Buy/Longest Day bundle but rather from Target and/or Wal-Mart. I'll see what I can dig up.

[xmagxus]

it seems my other post was deleted in this thread? or maybe im losing my mind >.>

[xmagxus]

anyway im not sure why my thread from earlier yesterday was deleted but here are some low quality images (xbox live vision camera) of the WWE limited edition game case

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n305/xmagxus/Picture086.jpg

Inside:
http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n305/xmagxus/Picture088.jpg

as you can see inside the metal case is the regular non limited edition case.

[s1lence]

Ok, I'm going to add all those titles when I have a free chance today.

[orrimarrko]

Is the WWE Special Edition a Gamestop exclusive?

[xmagxus]

yeah gamestop/eb (says so on the case - though in my pics its so blurry it might as well have said "now serving piping hot soup")

[Neo Rasa]

Did you pre-order that soup?

[orrimarrko]

Okay, here's what I've been able to gather so far.

Please take a look folks, and see if there is anything missing.

Thanks,
Steve

Looks correct, I havent updated the database....yet. I did add MLB 2K7 today though.

[jcalder8]

Its also missing Dance Dance Revolution Universe Bundle, which came out today

[s1lence]

I didn't see it in stores today. I was going to post that and Bullet Witch tomorrow when they have been verified to arrive on the shelves.

[orrimarrko]

Okay - previous to today's new additions, does it look complete/accurate?

[s1lence]

Yes, it looks right.

[Neo Rasa]

Looks great. :D

DDR did "come out" today but as usual the shipments will reach most stores tomorrow.


Oddly, lots of high profile games getting released Tuesday instead of Monday lately.

[ecresto]

http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/5756/xbox360yj6.th.jpg (http://img98.imageshack.us/my.php?image=xbox360yj6.jpg)

Well i have half of the games and i traded in 3 which i regret , because i should try to collect as many as i can

[orrimarrko]

I just started collecting for the 360 (I don't own the system yet - but hopefully soon!)

I have 22 of the games, all sealed, all new.

The cool thing is, I haven't paid more than $22.49 + tax for any of them, and that was the only one over $19.99. (PREY Collector's Edition was the $22.49 game.)

I'm liking the fact that I'm able to build the collection on the cheap so far.

Now, if I can only get the system to play them!

[xmagxus]

I picked up mlb 2k7 yesterday but none of the stores recieved samurai warriors 2 empires, DDR universe, or bullet witch yet - those should be in stores about 8 hours from the time of this post.

[s1lence]

I'm up to about 53 games now. I've been picking up games on the cheap lately.

[s1lence]

Just updated the list, think it should be all there.

Let me know if there is any confirmation on the Target/Walmart version of COD 3 with the cd.

[esquire]

Besides Bullet Witch two other games came out thise week that I know of, and have been confirmed in stores...

Samurai Warriors 2 Empires
Monster Madness: Battle for Suburbia

[s1lence]

I put SW 2 Empires in there, didn't see monster though. I asked around and my local stores said April was when that was coming out.

[xmagxus]

yeah monster madness is definitely not out yet.

If you dont see a game in this list:
http://live.xbox.com/en-US/profile/profile.aspx?pp=0&GamerTag=jcnet


it's not out yet >.> (i hope that didnt come out bad) I just try really hard to stay totally up to date on 360 stuff I love the system.

[esquire]

Someone must have moved a coming soon display case down into the released section because I definitely saw it mixed in there and it was even price marked.

[Neo Rasa]

Looks like that soundtrack bonus is Walmart only. I was able to dig out the old listing for it:

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5334364

On the one I saw in person, the cover had an orange "soundtrack cd included" label towards the lower right half of the case itself. I can't remember if it's a sticker or if it's actually on the insert.

The overall cover is slightly darker than any other version I've seen too.

[GM80]

There's a "Bonus Inside" cover variant of Tony Hawk Project 8 with a pack of trading cards inside, for those of you interested in endlessly pursuing such things. I mentioned it over here with a pic:

http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?t=96164

[GM80]

I saw Bullet Witch at Circuit City with an "Exclusive Poster Inside" message on the cover insert ... do all of them say that, or is it advertising a store exclusive of some sort?

[s1lence]

I've seen it at other stores with that message, so I'm going to consider that normal.

[Neo Rasa]

You're correct, all Bullet Witches have both the poster included as well as a reversible insert (the Japanese cover is on the front and some artwork is on the back).

Did we ever get a verdict on this one?

It has to be a retail-specific bonus, but which one?

Gamestop/EB?
K-Mart?
Best Buy?
Circuit City?
etc...

Need to know!

[orrimarrko]

Okay, in keeping with the discussion, I think this should do it, but PLEASE let me know if I'm incorrect or missing something.

I have held new sealed Rainbow Six: Vegas Limited Editions in my hands at both Best Buy and Circuit City, so it was at least in those two stores.

I also bought my Gears of War Limited Edition at Best Buy, so it is not a GameStop exclusive (it's on the same receipt as my CoD3 Longest Day DVD set).

As for the origins of the THP8 Bonus Inside cover, I picked mine up used so I can't speak as to its origins.

Missing two new releases from yesterday:
Tom Clany's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2
Def Jam: Icon

Also, I forgot to mention Gamestop had a "Preorder Bonus DVD" for F.E.A.R. It comes in a separate DVD style case and on DVD. Outside of the case indicates its for pre-orders of both PS3 and XBOX 360 versions. Included on the DVD:

Original P.A.N.I.C.S. Episodes
Live-Action Alma Prequel Video
Downloadable Screenshots
Preview exclusive gameplay footage
Official Game TrailerEDIT: Also, on an unrelated note, I noticed "Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone" is missing from the XBOX games

Good to know.

I wasn't positive about the Gears of War LE, and had no idea about the Rainbow Six: Vegas LE.

I'll make the adjustments to the list.

Now, if we can only figure out the TH Project 8 Bonus Inside Cover's origins!

[s1lence]

EDIT: Also, on an unrelated note, I noticed "Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone" is missing from the XBOX games

Wow, thats odd. I wasn't in charge of the list then but I'll get that added in there.

[GM80]

To everyone else with the Rainbow Six: Vegas Limited Edition:

Is the slipcover for your R6:V LE a little larger than it should be? Mine's deep enough to hold the game case, plus an 1/8th inch or so extra that could have been intended for a little booklet or something. There wasn't anything else included, though, so the slipcover just caved in a little under the pressure of the shrinkwrap.

None of my other LE games are that way, but every R6:V LE I've seen around here has been the same. Just wondering if it was one batch or all of them.

I still can't seem to find this one - where did you find yours?

[esquire]

I still can't seem to find this one - where did you find yours?

Orri~

Mine is the same way. If you pick up the game by the outer slip, the plastic case falls right through.

I picked mine up used at EB Games. I have yet to see it new anywhere retail. The only reason I knew about this version is that I saw it on IGN.

http://xbox360.ign.com/objects/864/864176.html


This Limited Edition release features bonus features such as a "Making of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas" featurette, a "Faking-of the Making-of" spoof featurette, and a host of bonus Rainbow Six features.

[GM80]

There's a couple still in stock at Circuit City and Best Buy here. The one at BB is buried about 4 or 5 copies back in the shelf with the rest of the R6:V.

[gepeto]

just out of curiosity. Has anyone ever seen this viva pinata set? I have never seen the crate package.

I believe that contained the official review copy of the game that was sent to media outlets, and was also sent on to VIPs in the blogging community.

Cool info - Chromehounds and Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter have dropped to $19.99 at Best Buy.

Love those $20 and less 360 games!

[xmagxus]

just so everyone knows

tetris evolution, earth defense force, UEFA championship leagues, virtua tennis 3, TMNT, armored core 4 are all out in stores today - some of them were released yesterday but shipping in my area sucked this week so they are not widely available until later today.

That puts the release numbers at 109 unique retail games and 52 unique arcade games (including hexic and the three BK games)

Not sure about the arcade titles, but where are you getting your 109 number?

Just curious as to what made your list or not.

From the previous post, you can see that there are 108 regular releases, plus the XBOX Live Arcade that you can buy at retail. Is this the 109 that you mentioned?

Also, there are 11 different Special/Limited/Collector's Editions out there, that involve packaging changes of some kind (eg. Call of Duty 2 was released as both "Call of Duty 2" and "Call of Duty 2: Game of the Year Edition.")

There were 9 exclusive retail releases, including the BK games.

Finally, there were 3 packaging changes (possibly more) for introduction into the Platinum Hits 360 packaging.

I'm not saying that my list is 100% accurate or even that it's what anyone should go by, but I'm trying to incorporate everyone's information into a master list.

For that to work, I need to know what you're counting/not including.

Thanks,
Steve

There's a Call of Duty 3 Gold Edition out now. Circuit City had it advertised. Don't know if it's an exclusive or just a re-release like COD2 GOTYE.

http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Call-of-Duty-3-Gold-Edition-Xbox-360/sem/rpsm/oid/172957/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do


Call of Duty 3 Gold Edition provides consumers with a bonus DVD of exciting content and a key code used to obtain an Xbox Live Marketplace Token for the Call of Duty 3 Valor Map Pack free, a $10 value.

[xmagxus]

just an FYI i saw a variant for blazing angels today - when i was doing my rounds today I noticed a dark brown cover as well as a lighter grey cover side by side at circuit city today for blazing angels.

Same exact game just slightly different cover colors for each.

I consider a complete collection having one of every unique retail and arcade game.

I keep tabs on variants and different versions but in my personal collection I always buy the most limited version of a game (IE call of duty 3 day of defeat bundle, etc)
I actually dont count the xbox live arcade vol 1 as a retail game or an arcade game since they can be purchased separately on the market for 10 dollars more. Sure you get a retail case but i feel counting them as both a retail game and arcade game woulfd be like counting the same games twice.

I am very tired so i could have missed something but im not sure what your list is missing all i know is I counted my retail games twice in the last 30 minutes and came up with 109 retail games each time - the burgerking games I count as arcade games due to the MS rule that 1000-1250 achievement points = retail release, 200-250 achievement points = arcade release)

i just picked up like 20 new releases today for the various systems and have been gone most of the day so my brain is a little jumbled - i'd prolly do better off tomorrow or closer to the weekend though i still am not quite sure what it is I have that is putting me at 109 as opposed to 108

Okay - if it helps, print out my list and use it against your inventory. That will give you something to check off against your library.

Hopefully, we can solve the mystery!

Are you talking about the Best Buy box set with The Longest Day on DVD, or am I missing something?

It was my mistake on the whole day of defeat thing, when i posted it i was very tired and have been busy this week. I just got the ultimate war experience bundle mixed up with "day of defeat" I have no idea why but i did >.> thats the version i have - the bestbuy exclusive one.

3/27 scheduled releases:

Dance Dance Revolution: Universe (no bundle) (confirmed 3/29 at Gamestop)
Disney's Meet the Robinsons (confirmed 3/27 at Best Buy)

[orrimarrko]

Saw an interesting exlcusive today at lunch.

Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII (Wal-Mart exclusive bonus poster calendar)

It's not a sticker, but part of the printed insert, and it has a picture of a pin-up girl in a "Uncle Sam" outfit, with the text, "Walmart Exclusive Bonus Poster Calendar).

Pretty cool. I've added it to the list.

[GM80]

Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII (Wal-Mart exclusive bonus poster calendar)

I went to Wal-Mart for the first time in years after you posted this, and they didn't have any copies of Blazing Angels in stock ... but my trip was not in vain.

In the game case, there was a copy of Tony Hawk Project 8 with the "bonus inside" graphic. Wal-Mart exclusive, mystery solved. :)

Also saw Disney's Meet The Robinsons on sale today.

Thanks!

Made some corrections to the Master List on page 3 of this thread.

Added Disney's Meet the Robinsons to the Regular Releases section.

Moved Gears of War (Limited Collector's Edition) to the Special Editions section.

Confirmed that the "Bonus Inside" for the Tony Hawk's Project 8 was Wal-Mart, so that has been added to the Exclusives section.

Sweet - keep it up folks!

Your input is always appreciated.

[GM80]

Definitely saw a sealed Enchanted Arms without the cardboard slipcover and graphic novel at Target today, it was the only copy in their case ... maybe it received a small second run?

[esquire]

What is the difference between the COD 2 GOTYE and the Toy's R Us exclusive? Your listing indicates the TRU version has a "bonus cd"; but my version, bought new at Best Buy has a "Bonus DVD". So what's the difference content wise, and is the TRU "Bonus CD" really a CD or DVD?
FYI: My Bonus DVD contains "Behind the Scenes", "Rangers Lead The Way", Select Mission Walkthroughs and Production Art Gallery.

Also ,I am curious as to whether anyone here has a complete or close to a complete collection? I am not counting a complete collection as having both the regular release and a limited edition or exclusive, but rather one or the other.

I currently have 84 games

69 Releases
10 Special Editions
4 Exclusives
1 Promo - not on list; F.E.A.R. PREORDER BONUS DVD

First - I had that FEAR bonus DVD on my spreadsheet, but forgot to add it to the list. Thanks for reminding me, I've added it on page 3.

As for the COD2: GOYE and the bonus CD is this (and I'm not certain what's on it - yet) - the regular COD2: GOYE says "Bonus DVD" on the cover, but there's nothing visible from the outside of the case.

What I saw at TRU was the same thing, only attached to the back under the shrinkwrap (on multiple copies) was a cd or dvd that had it's own cardboard slipcase.

My theory on this is that it was a bonus soundtrack, and was the TRU bonus, similar to the Wal-Mart soundtrack cd bonus for COD3.

I'll have to try and find a copy to confirm.

Steve

[captain nintendo]

Ok, I'm going to add all those titles when I have a free chance today.

You are awesome Ryan!

FYI, The Bonus DVD for the COD 2: GOTYE that I have came in a white CD sleeve sitting inside the game case, just like Quake IV and the Quake II bonus game.

I knew that (but thanks!)

What I'm talking about is an actual 4-color cardboard sleeve (like the TRU exclusive Baten Kaitos soundtrack for Gamecube) that was inside the shrinkwrap.

Earlier copies of COD2: GOTYE at TRU (that I saw) had a similar cardboard sleeve inside the shrinkwrap. Again, I haven't confirmed this, but I think it's the soundtrack.

Anyone have this? If not - I'll see if I can find one.

[orrimarrko]

LOL - it's mine!

I couldn't resist. I haven't got it in yet, but I'm excitied for it to get here. :)

It arrived, and is very cute.

In case anyone isn't sure what I'm talking about - go back a page or two in this thread.

It's the Special Edition Viva Pinata with the promo "caged" Pinata and Passport.

Since the SE Viva Pinata will run $50+ with tax, I basically got the promo stuff for free, as the auction with shipping ran me $54.

It's pretty cool, as far as promos items go.

[orrimarrko]

Correction Made!

In a hurry to get the info on the list (so I wouldn't forget after lunch), I mistakenly said that the "Wal-Mart Exclusive Bonus Poster Calendar" was for Blazing Angels...

It's actually for Battlestations: Midway.

My apologies.

Also, I've added Need For Speed: Most Wanted to the Platinum Hits section.

Thanks!

That's all I can handle. ;)

Rapala Tournament Fishing!

Let's confirm these puppies! Please remember to state what store you found them in if you confirm.

I think I found a new variant. NBA 2k7 w/ Free Topps Playing Cards inside (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=012&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=220099265715&rd=1&rd=1).

I also have a weird Top Spin 2, but I think that may be because it came from Quebec.

[orrimarrko]

Thanks for the pic. Anyone else seen this one before?

Trench - where did you find this (what store?)

[orrimarrko]

UPDATES:

Added Saints Row Demo Disc (pre-order) to the Demos/Promos section.

Added NBA 2K7 (?? exclusive: "Bonus Topps Series 1 Basketball Cards Inside") to the Exclusives section. Does anyone know who retailed this?

Added Guitar Hero II (bundle w/guitar) to the Special Editions section.

Thanks,

[Buyatari]

Can anyone read the box?

When I read the description I wasn't sure if the cards came inside the box OR if the seller was including them as a bonus item.

Hey Adam,

I could read it, and have seen another picture.

It does say, "Bonus Topps Series 1 Basketball Cards Inside".

It's not a sticker either - it's part of the printed insert.

Steve

[TheTrench]

I have no idea where it retailed from as I bought it from someone off of Ebay a few months back, but I need some cash to buy something else, so I had to list it.

It is ending soon, so if anyone wants to add it to their collection, it would be a good time to bid.

[GM80]

Bought another exclusive today for the list. It's a Target exclusive Marvel Ultimate Alliance with "Bonus Daredevil Character Unlock Code" graphic on the insert, and a little piece of paper inside showing a D-pad code you can enter in-game to unlock Daredevil. I'll add a pic later if you need it.

I bought the NBA 2K7 Trench had on eBay ... this one's a sticker. It's under the wrap, but it's a sticker. Not sure if you want to keep it as a variant or not, then.

By the way, regarding the Wal-Mart exclusive Battlestations: Midway, every copy of the game I've seen has a pinup model with a "support our troops for 30 days" logo in the corner. Are you saying the Wal-Mart variant had a bonus calendar graphic there instead, or in addition to that?

Bummer about the NBA 2K7 game.

As for the Battlestations: Midway graphic - its the same girl, only bigger, and with a much larger image of the words I described earlier.

You can't miss it. I'd take a pic if I owned a cellphone.

Okay, in keeping with the discussion, I think this should do it, but PLEASE let me know if I'm incorrect or missing something.

[Drag0nsfyre]

add C&C 3 (not sure if they had diff. versions)
I can also confirm this since I picked it up yesterday at Gamestop. :)

[Mason P.]

didn't Saint's Row get put on the greatest hits list?

[GM80]

Anyone see any C&C3 exclusives anywhere?

[TheTrench]

At Walmart I saw PGR3 bundled with Forza Motorsport 2 for the Xbox for $29.82 or something like that. They were attached side by side.

At Walmart I saw PGR3 bundled with Forza Motorsport 2 for the Xbox for $29.82 or something like that. They were attached side by side.

This thread is for 360 games not original Xbox.

[TheTrench]

It was with PGR3 for the Xbox 360, plus Forza as I mentioned for the Xbox. Weird bundle, but technically for Xbox 360.

[esquire]

I was at Best Buy today and saw "Marvel Ultimate Alliance Gold Edition". It comes with 4 new playable characters including The Hulk, Cyclops, Nightcrawler and Hawkeye, as well as 4 playable Super Villains — Venom, Magneto, Dr. Doom and Sabretooth.

I just learned that the original Xbox got a foil-sleeved "special edition" of Tomb Raider: Legend (there's one on eBay here (http://cgi.ebay.com/XBOX-Tomb-Raider-Legend-Special-Edition-NEw-Sealed_W0QQitemZ230075580963QQihZ013QQcategoryZ620 53QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem)) ... did the 360 get one?

[Neo Rasa]

Call of Juarez is now available on the US 360. Opened up the shipment this morning.

Nope, only PS2 and original XBox got them.

[GM80]

Of course there have been many, many new releases since the list was updated, but there are a few variants to add:

Transformers (EB/Gamestop exclusive: Cybertron Edition)
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (Wal-mart exclusive: "Bonus Silver Surfer Unlockable Code Inside")
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (EB/Gamestop exclusive: "Bonus Collectible Poster Inside")

[xmagxus]

Current USA release numbers:
133 360 retail
71 Arcade

Arcade includes the 3 burgerking games

Anyway another variant people should consider that I havent seen mentiones are the following:

Forza 2 which has a limited edition version sold in CANADA but NOT the US

The bigs which has a "limited" 1st print cover with a different player on the cover at bestbuy in the US or futureshop in canada. The limited cover has Moreneau on the cover where all other stores sell a version that has pujols on the cover.

[GM80]

Forza 2 which has a limited edition version sold in CANADA but NOT the US.

That one really threw me when it started showing up on eBay.

This week's Wal-Mart ad features NCAA 08 Football with a "Custom Covers" feature in the ad that reads: Ask about custom NCAA® team covers in the photo center! Available July 17.

What, do they have covers for every NCAA team in the photo dept.? Or can you print your own with a photo you provide? Anyone know what's going on?

[orrimarrko]

Hey Geoff,

I can answer this one. The actual retail cover is of Jared Zabransky (Boise St.) There are .pdf files of many (not all, mind you) mascot covers for several other Division I schools. These are downloadable, and you can print them off to substitute in your snap case.

They aren't sold like that at retail, just printable replacement inserts, that's all.

If you are counting demos, I believe there are dedicated demos to NBA 2k7 and a separate one for NHL 2k7.

NHL 2k7 Auction (http://cgi.ebay.com/NHL-2K7-Xbox-360-Super-Rare-Demo-Disc-Factory-Sealed_W0QQitemZ190130357679QQihZ009QQcategoryZ620 53QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

I'll count just about anything that can be verified. :)

List updated 7/25.

[orrimarrko]

I've got some editions to make to the Special Editions and Exlcusive sections.

However, I have one question to anyone who can confirm these FOR SURE:

1. The Forza Motorsport 2 Collector's Edition was not released in the US; I believe that it was released in Canada and Europe. Can anyone confirm that it was NOT released in the US?

2. I've yet to see a confirmation of the "Silver Surfer" unlockable exclusive at Wal-Mart for Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Can anyone confirm that they have this?

I can definitely confirm that the Limited Edition Nascar 08 is a Wal-Mart exclusive. More to come on that one.

Hopefully, others are still collecting 360... :)

[xmagxus]

Forza 2 limited edition is not available in the US I can 100 percent confirm that right now.

[orrimarrko]

Forza 2 limited edition is not available in the US I can 100 percent confirm that right now.

Thought so - thanks for the confirmation X.

[orrimarrko]

I've made some additions to the list, as well as qualified the "Exclusives" section, so that you can see what is different than the "regular release" for the same title.

It should also be noted that some of the "Special Editions" have completely different packaging than their regular counterparts (i.e. Splinter Cell: Double Agent has a slip cover and a totally different insert; Viva Pinata has a special clamshell snap case, etc.)

As always, if I'm missing something, please let me know.

Thanks,
Steve

I have yet to pick up an X-Box 360, since im waiting for the newer models to come out. In the meantime, are there any titles yet that are hard to find / worth anything if I pick them up in the wild?

[orrimarrko]

I have yet to pick up an X-Box 360, since im waiting for the newer models to come out. In the meantime, are there any titles yet that are hard to find / worth anything if I pick them up in the wild?

Hey there,

LOL - I actually just picked up my first 360 (an Elite), but won't open it until the end of the month.

As far as "hard to find" games, I would say not many. Here's my opinion on what I would grab, just because they're getting harder to find at retail - not necessarily because they'll be worth something someday.

Others may have different opinions, but since I'm literally looking at 360 games everyday (at several locations) to make sure I'm not missing anything - this is what I've observed.

Keep in mind, this is at retail only:

Being replaced with Platinum Hits version, so eventually will be hard to find new at retail...

Battlefield 2: Modern Combat
Burnout: Revenge
Call of Duty 2
Dead or Alive 4
Fight Night Round 3
Kameo: Elements of Power
LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy
Need for Speed: Most Wanted
Perfect Dark: Zero
PGR: Project Gotham Racing 3
Rockstar Games Presents: Table Tennis
Saints Row
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter

Call of Duty 2 (finding the regular version of this - not the GOY edition, is tricky)
Dynasty Warriors 5: Empires (getting a little harder to find)
FIFA 06: Road to FIFA World Cup (getting a little harder to find)
Samurai Warriors 2 (I don't see this that often since the "Empires" version came out)

Special Editions (these always have lower production runs, so will be tougher to get eventually)

Elder Scrolls IV, The: Oblivion (Collector's Edition)
Gears of War (Limited Collector's Edition)
Lost Planet: Extreme Condition (Collector's Edition)
Need for Speed: Carbon (Collector's Edition)
Perfect Dark: Zero (Limited Collector's Edition)
Prey (Limited Collector's Edition)
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas (Limited Edition)
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent (Limited Collector's Edition)
Viva Piñata (Special Edition)


Exclusives (these will be the hardest to come by, as they usually have limited prodcution runs and occur at the beginning of the release, only to be replaced with regular versions eventually)

Battlestations: Midway (Wal-Mart exclusive: "Bonus Poster Calendar" inside) Insert Variant
Call of Duty 2: Game Of The Year Edition (TRU exlcusive: bonus CD) Exclusive pack-in
Call of Duty 3 (Walmart exclusive: bonus sountrack CD) Exclusive pack-in
Call of Duty 3: The Ultimate World War II Experience Box Set (Best Buy exclusive) Exclusive slip cover and pack-in
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (Gamestop/EB exclusive: "Bonus Collectible Poster Inside") Insert Variant and pack-in
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (Target exclusive: "Bonus Daredevil Unlockable Code Inside") Insert Variant and code pack-in
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (Wal-Mart exclusive: "Bonus Silver Surfer Unlockable Code Inside") Insert Variant and code pack-in
Spider-Man 3 (Target exclusive: "Bonus Inside! Spider-Man TOP 10 Comic Book Covers") Insert Variant and pack-in
Tony Hawk's Project 8 (Wal-Mart exclusive: "Bonus Inside" trading cards) Insert Variant and pack-in
Transformers: The Game (Gamestop/EB exclusive: Cybertron Edition) Exclusive slip cover and pack-ins
WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2007 (Gamestop exclusive: Special Edition) Exclusive cardboard slip cover, metal tin and pack-ins

In my opinion, these are the top five releases that are the hardest to come by in the wild are (not in any order):

1. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas (Limited Edition) (I've never seen this at retail)

2. Call of Duty 3: The Ultimate World War II Experience Box Set (Best Buy exclusive) Exclusive slip cover and pack-in (because this was Best Buy only, and they probably only made a limited amount, it will be one of the toughest to get - to date)

3. Call of Duty 2: Game Of The Year Edition (TRU exlcusive: bonus CD) Exclusive pack-in (this is very difficult to find - I saw them at TRU when I was looking for another game, and should have bought one. The CD was shrinkwrapped in a cardboard slip cover on the outside of the game snap case.)

4. Call of Duty 3 (Walmart exclusive: bonus sountrack CD) Exclusive pack-in (I've never seen this at retail or anywhere else for that matter, but it is confirmed that it does exist.)

5. Tony Hawk's Project 8 (Wal-Mart exclusive: "Bonus Inside" trading cards) Insert Variant and pack-in (Released once upon a time, when the game came out, it was sure to be a limited run. The one's they have now are just the regular release, so this may be a real toughie!)

Good luck!

Steve

[orrimarrko]

Updates made to Exclusives section.

[orrimarrko]

Added to the list:

Regular Releases -

Madden 08

Platinum Hits -

Top Spin 2

Both confirmed 8/14.

[s1lence]

I will also agree that I have never seen the Limited Edtion of R6 Vegas in a store but I've seen it on ebay only.

[BioHazard117]

I actually saw the LE of RSV just the other day, used, at a GS. Anyway, some Toys R Us retailers have been breaking the streetdate of BioShock, and on Neo-Gaf (forum) some users have gotten a hold of the regular editions. But, from these pics it looks like there is the basic 360 version but also a glossy, shiny version.

and

Now there might be two regular editions, but I do not know. It doesnt seem like it is the LE of BioShock because that game case looks like this.

Everyone keep their eyes peeled!

[Promophile]

Orrimarrko,

Thanks for the list, it was very helpful. I can see that 360 collecting is going to be extremely painful with so many store exclusives >_<. I pity anyone trying to collect every variant for the system.

[GM80]

I will also agree that I have never seen the Limited Edtion of R6 Vegas in a store but I've seen it on ebay only.

There's still 2 or 3 of them behind the copies of "regular" R6:Vegas at my local Best Buy.

By the way, time for me to say "so long" to this thread in my Bookmarks. As a few of you noticed, I recently sold off all my 360 games in the Buying and Selling forum after my 3rd 360 died. I also need the space and the money with my new little boy rolling around.

It's been fun ... nice to see that Orrimarko actually got a system ;)

You're welcome. I enjoy it, and unlike the DS list which I used to do here, there aren't 5-10 games a week coming out for the 360. (Man that DS library is going to be HUGE!)

Anyway, I'm trying to do what I can for the system in terms of identification and actual collecting.

If anyone spots a variant that I've missed, please let me know - and then pick me up a copy! ;)

There are only two releases - the regular one, and the Limited Edition Gamestop Exclusive (yep, another exclusive!)

I think it's just a light reflection that you're referring to.

Added to the Demo/Promos Section:

NBA 2K7 Demo Disk (2K Sports) - handed out at NBA game

(Got mine today - nothing special, but an official demo nonetheless!)

[PapaStu]

Actually its looking like BioShock is coming in a shiny paper slipcover, much like the LE for R6:Vegas has. You can see the 'hologram' effect on that picture with the copy of Bioshock and that Elite 360.

[esquire]

I saw a Two Worlds 2 Disk Collector's Edition today at Gamestop for $69.99. According to IGN the Collector's Edition comes in a stunning holographic slipcase packaging and includes a map of the expansive world, a bonus Pen and Paper 72 page color fantasy RPG book along with a second disc packed with bonus music and video content, such as web kit that allows players to create fansites. The Xbox 360 version also includes a 48 Hour Xbox Live Gold Trial card.

Yep - I have to add the two new games (Bioshock, Two Worlds) and their respective Collector's Editions.

I'll be adding them soon.

[orrimarrko]

Howdy folks - I'm back!

Never truly left completely, just needed a breather. Anyway, I'm hoping to get back into things full swing and have tried to do my homework.

Let me know what I'm missing, and I'll be happy to get it added ASAP!

Thanks as always for everyone's help!!

[orrimarrko]

And you also dont see the green Xbox case border on the BioShock in the second pic.

Here's the deal with Bioshock...

There are two releases.

The "regular release" is the basic case with insert, and it comes inside a cardboard slip cover (like Madden 07 Hall of Fame Edition). The "shiny" that you see is on the slip cover only. If you find one without the slipcover, then it's not complete or it's used.

The second version, as you know, is the Limited Edition. It comes inside an oversized box, with a sealed Big Daddy figure, and a larger snap case containing three discs. This was a Gamestop/EB exclusive release, and is sold out. This one will be pricey for a long time (my spidey-sense tells me.)

There aren't three releases for this (like Halo 3 will have - Arrggh!)

P.S. - The list has been updated through 8/27.

[orrimarrko]

Added to the list:

MotoGP 07
MotoGP 07 (Best Buy exclusive: "Game Tracks Code Inside")

Stuntman: Ignition
Stuntman: Ignition (Best Buy exclusive: "Code Inside to Unlock Fastest Car in Game")
Stuntman: Ignition (Target exclusive: "Code Inside to Unlock 6 Unique Graphic modes")

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08

[s1lence]

Is there going to be an offical Best Buy release with every game now? Thats getting kinda old.

[orrimarrko]

Is there going to be an offical Best Buy release with every game now? Thats getting kinda old.

LOL - seriously.

The funny part is that these are mostly a sticker on the outside of the snapcase (but under the shrinkwrap), or are printed on the insert.

Inside, there's just a piece of paper with the code on it, and that's all.

It's not really a special edition or anything, just an exclusive sales feature.

It's definitely getting old.

The problem for me is to determine exactly how much I want to pay attention to some of these details.

For example - let's look at three different releases:

Stuntman: Ignition

There's a release with nothing on the insert.
There's a release with a "FREE Movie Ticket Inside" printed on the insert.
There's a release with no "FREE Movie Ticket Inside" on the insert, but with the Target Exclusive information sticker.
There's a release with no "FREE Movie Ticket Inside" on the insert, but with the Best Buy Exclusive information sticker.
There's a release with no "FREE Movie Ticket Inside" on the insert, but with the Circuit City Exclusive information sticker.

So, that's technically 5 releases of Stuntman: Ignition. However, I haven't mentioned any other re-releases.

Which brings me to example #2:

Eragon

There's a standard release with nothing on the insert.
There's a release with a "FREE Movie Ticket Inside" printed on the insert.

Should I care? If I want to be complete, then of course I do. But ultimately, it's only a re-release (The version with the FREE ticket was the first one.) There are other re-releases that have this exact same issue.

Which brings me to example #3:

Gears of War

There's the standard original release with nothing on the insert.
There's the Limited Edition Collector's release.
There's a new re-release with the gold starburst on the insert (Game of the Year info).

Again - I'm not sure if I need to have a new category for re-releases, or just ignore them.

I'm open to thoughts on the subject...

Thanks,
Steve

Actually found the Toys R Us exclusive Call of Duty 2 with DVD today.

If I could figure out how to post a picture, I'd show you how it's different from the regular release.

Call of Duty 2 and 3 have the most variants releases of ANY XBOX 360 games out there.

Call of Duty 2

Original release (no offer on front of insert)
Game of the Year Edition release (no designation on spine; just says Call of Duty 2)
Game of the Year Edition release (no designation on spine; just says Call of Duty 2) - TRU exclusive comes packaged with Bonus DVD packaged in cardboard slipcover, shrinkwrapped to the back of the snapcase, and paper insert on front of snapcase
Game of the Year Edition release (designation added on spine; says Game of the Year Edition) - red circle on front of insert that says FREE BONUS DVD
Game of the Year Edition release (designation added on spine; says Game of the Year Edition) - red circle on front of insert that says FREE Multiplayer MAPS and BONUS DVD
Special Edition Platinum Hits release (Platiinum Hits design; says Special Edition on front) - red circle on front of insert that says INCLUDES BONUS DVD!

Call of Duty 3

Original release (no offer on front of insert)
Original release - (Wal-Mart exclusive with Bonus Soundtrack) - gold circle on front of insert that says BONUS Call of Duty 3 Soundtrack Inside (includes Sountrack CD in white paper slipcover)
Original release - The Ultimate World War II Experience (Best Buy exclusive) - packaged in oversized cardboard slip-cover with Bonus DVD in snapcase
Call of Duty 3: GOLD Edition (no offer on front of insert)
Call of Duty 3: GOLD Edition - red circle on front of insert that says FREE Multiplayer MAPS and BONUS DVD $10 Value


I believe that's all of them!

(EDIT: more to come on this - I have to save so I don't lose the text; computer battery going)

My Call of Duty 2 2005 GOTYE release has a designation on the spine and a "Free Bonus DVD See Reverse For Details" red circle stamp on the insert, and the bonus DVD comes in a white paper CD sleeve/envelope with the title "Collector's Bonus DVD" on it.

How did you find the TRU version - eBay, used at a B&M store, or NOS still at TRU?

I still have more to add to the Call of Duty 2 list (unfortunately.)

I got my copy NOS at TRU yesterday, and they had one more left.

The list has been edited above to complete the Call of Duty 2 and 3 variants list.

[orrimarrko]

I'm thinking of just doing a list, alphabetically, which has each of the known variants for each title, rather than breaking them down as I have been.

What does everyone think? Would that be more helpful, or is this more helpful?

[samo]

I think that it would be easier to read that way. Could we also add the actual differences to the games in the list. Like PD0 platinum hits adds new maps, right?

[orrimarrko]

List updated as of 9/6.

[gepeto]

I saw the 2 worlds one today used and it sure looked sweet. Don't know much about the game but the colectors package was nice.

[orrimarrko]

I think that I've decided to list all the versions of each title alphabetically, and bold the main title.

That way, if you're just interested about the game, regardless of the other packaging info, you can see them clearly. Or, if you're like me, you can see all of the collecting options.

By the way, I encountered a different John Woo Presents: Stranglehold today.

It was at Wal-Mart, and it was for the regular release, not the Collector's Edition.

There was a small offer logo on the bottom of the front insert that read something like, "Bonus - collectible art book inside".

I wrote it down and will update the list with the actual wording later today.

LOTS of variants for you retentives out there! ;) (I'm one myself.)

Can I suggest something like this, with the special editions info:

While I certainly appreciate the suggestion, I'm going to think about how I want to do it.

However, I can definitely say that I won't abbreviate - it's too confusing to the casual reader.

I've been asked recently to take care of the 360 Online guide here at DP, so I'm going to make it easy on myself and fashion the list in a way that I won't have to duplicate my efforts.

More to come for sure...

Peace,
Orri~

[samo]

Alright, that's cool. I just find it hard to find info about the actual content differences. Like on SNES games, I always wondered what the difference between MM:X 1.0 and 1.1. I think it would be cool to have an indepth list that has these things. But anyway.....

I have an off topic question. I bought Prey LCE from gamestop used and the game disc came in a sleeve. Did this come in a sleeve or is there a 'part' I am missing?

Oh and thanks for the awesome list!

[briskbc]

I have an off topic question. I bought Prey LCE from gamestop used and the game disc came in a sleeve. Did this come in a sleeve or is there a 'part' I am missing?


I used to have this game. There is a hard foam nub attached the actual tin on the bottom of the cases to put the disc on. It's beneath the inserts. It's a really lame mount for such a great LE set. Your better off with the paper sleeve.

[samo]

Thanks briskbc. I just ripped apart my copy, and am just amazed. I wonder how many people took the game back claiming there was no disc! But yeah thanks agian.

[orrimarrko]

WOW!

What a HUGE day in the library of the 360!!

Many releases today, some new, some old.

I'll be updating the list soon.

New Titles:

Elder Scrolls IV, The: Oblivion (Game of the Year Edition)
Fatal Inertia
Kengo: Legend of the 9
NHL 08
NHL 2K8

Platinum Hits:

Disney/Pixar's Cars
F.E.A.R.
WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2007

PLUS: I spent over 2 1/2 hours at various locations cataloguing every package offer and insert variant that I could find, or had never seen before.

(For Example: Stuntman: Ignition has 6 (yes 6!) releases (an offerless version, a movie ticket version, and 4 retail exclusives); Eragon has 3 releases (an offerless version and 2 different movie related offers); Cabela's Alaskan Adventures has 3 releases as well (an offerless version, and 2 different magazine related offers).)

Believe me, the list is very, very big.

It will take me a little while to incorporate in into the master list, but I will as soon as I can.

Until then - the only other thing I can say is that September will continue to be busy - Skate comes out on Friday, Eternal Sonata next week, and then...

HALO 3!

For now - peace!

Orri~

[orrimarrko]

WOW!

Another fairly HUGE day in the library of the 360!!

Many releases today and a couple tomorrow.

I'll be updating the list soon.

New Titles:

Eternal Sonata
Skate
Orochi Warriors
Juiced 2
Blazing Angels II

PLUS: Yep, you guessed it - more packaging variants!

(Two of note: LOTR: BFME now is shipped with an ign.com Winner 2006 logo on the insert, and I acutally bought the Battlestations: Midway Sam's Club exclusive - with Sam's Club logo on the insert. Neat!)

The list is getting very, very big. Damn Best Buy and their "CODES"!

It will take me a little while longer to incorporate in into the master list, but I will as soon as I can.

For now - peace!

Orri~

Thanks for the links! I haven't seen either of those around here.

I'm curious about the origin of the THPG demo though. Pre-order?

[esquire]

They are free at Best Buy. Picked one up yesterday. I guess I should've picked up more.

Awesome info Dave! Thanks!!

[orrimarrko]

Went to Best Buy this evening, and got my SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 demo disc. $5 for a demo is cheap, considering it would cost $2 minimum to have one shipped to me.

Also snagged 4 of the Tony Hawk Proving Ground Demo Discs. They were free, and they had about 20 of them.

So, if anyone ends up missing this, and has a demo to trade, let me know.

[briskbc]

It looks like there is a cardboard sleeve variant on the Smack Down Vs Raw demo.

Actually, you beat me to the post...

I can confirm not only are there two packaging variations on the SmackDown vs Raw 2008 demo disc, but where you can find each.

The regular sized 360 case demo disc can be found at your local Best Buy - and for $5, it can be yours. Of course, it's a pre-order bonus, so your $5 goes towards the game when it comes out in November.

The full color cardboard slipcover (small; square) can be found at your local GameStop or EB Games. It's their pre-order bonus, and with a like $5 down payment, you'll be reserving your copy.

I have both, and they look kind of cool together, to be honest...

Now I just have to get my hands on the All-Pro Football demo disc; the Call of Duty 3 Walmart exclusive (with Bonus Soundtrack); and some of the remaining kiosk demo discs, and I'll be in good shape!

Also, don't worry folks - I haven't updated the list in a little bit, but I have all the info, and more.

I'm working on a major overhaul to the presentation of the list, and it will hopefully be easier to follow and manage.

If they would just stop with the damn insert variants and bonus offers!

NBA Live 08 really needed an insert variant... :(

[gepeto]

How about this one. I tell you when will it stop:)

http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=200404

Will this be availible in other stores? or just online at gs.

Yep - it's ridiculous alright. (Which is why it's taking me so long to get this done!)

This Mass Effect is a limited edition Gamestop exclusive, but is only available to be ordered online.

The extra goodies described on the page make up the difference between the normal release and this one.

IT WILL NEVER STOP!! (HA! HA! HA!)

Yep - I picked that one up on release day. My local GS gives me a copy of their demo giveaways if I ask nicely.

Something else to note - there are two demo versions of Saints Row and Smackdown vs Raw 2008.

The versions are similar in that there's one in the small square cardboard sleeve, and one in the full-sized snap case. This is the case for each title.

There's a Mass effect demo disc as a pre-order for the release next month.

[esquire]

I picked up Clive Barker's Jericho Special Edition and Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation Limited Edition Bundle today.

I would be interested in the Conan demo if anyone has any extras. PM me

I heard on another board that this was being done because the the limited edition is using the same case as the halo 3 limited one. He said there were some scracthed disc and with online only you can't return them to the store. Sounded interesting.

I just preorderd the game at gamestop and they gave me a bonus disc. Can't wait for this one to come out.

Here's another variant for you - Time Shift - from Gamestop. Apparently those who pre-ordered the game got a different version from everyone else. The outer sleeve has a yellow rectangle stamped on it stating "Exclusive Behind the Scenes DVD Inside!" and inside the game case in a paper sleeve is the DVD.

I also picked up the Assassin's Creed Limited Edition yesterday. Seems to be another cheap LE, like WWE Smackdown! vs Raw 2007 SE.

Yes, you're correct on both counts.

The pre-order Gamestop Timeshift has that gold offer rectangle on the front insert.

The Assassin's Creed LE is disappointing, as I thought it would be more like the BioShock LE, but nonetheless...

To those of you who've asked if I'm still updating the list - yes, absolutely.

I've been a little busy, but am also making sure that it's one of the most complete lists out there (insert variants, sticker offers, etc.)

I expect to finish up soon, so hang in there!

Peace,
Orri~

I was just reading over in the mass effect thread that poofta saw mass effect limited editons over at gamestop. I am so pissed I picked up the regular edition. If there are limited editions I am calling corperate and bitch and I will go back to the store to get exchange it even though it is opened.

Careful! The Mass Effect Limited Edition is a Gamestop Exclusive - ONLINE ONLY!!

You have to order it online through Gamestop.com; that's the only place to get them.

THIS WAS A RELATIVELY SMALL PRODUCTION RUN, AND THERE'S NOT A TON LEFT.

Make sure that your order is confirmed before returning your regular version.

Thanks for the update Stu!

I knew the info was correct at one point; I was not aware that it had changed.

Thanks again,
Steve

[gepeto]

Thanks for the update I went buy a store here and ask they said they never had any and did a 200 mile search of his stores and none were availible.

The crazy thing is I could have swore I went to the Mass effect website and they said le online only. that is why I gave up and bought the regular edition. I was watching the gamestop website to see if the had a stopwatch freeshipping sale on the LE it never happened.

[esquire]

I picked up Tony Hawk's Proving Ground Limited Edition at Target today. They have it on clearance for $29.90. I've never heard of this version. Was it a Target exclusive?

It comes with different box art and a cardboard sleeve over the case. Inside is a "Bonus Disc" (in a paper sleeve) with the usual extras and a Guitar Hero III Demo with an unlockable Guitar Hero Character - Judy Nails. There is also a free offer for a 1 year subscription for Transworld SKATEboarding Magazine.

any chance of getting a mega update since your last post?

are you getting overwhelmed by all the releases from the holidays forward?

Hey there,

I've been a little bogged down lately, but haven't forgotten about the list and updates.

Give me a little bit more time, and I'll have something up.

Thanks!

Steve

Best buy is doing the call of duty collectors package. The game and a movie. It was in this weeks ad.

They also have an Ace Combat 6 package with the controller.

I've been a bit behind on my updating as well.

Real life and stuff (stuff being playing games)

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I noticed the online rarity guide is a bit out of date, and this list is very old too. Are there any online lists of all 360 games released to date? I know RF generation is pretty current, and I am a member there, but what I am really looking for is simply a list of all games released (excluding XBLA games) and their release dates. I would like to know the toal # of games released.

I am also looking for a list of exclusives, not collector's editions. Any help is greatly appreciated.

As it stands, I currently have 280+ games for the 360 and am looking for a list that I can look at to see what I am missing.

Thanks!

What should be a pretty damn complete list of 360 titles can be found here (along with all their achievements! weeee!)

X360A.org (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/games/Retail/)

They've also got a list for XBLA titles (and their achiements as well).

The only problem here is that x360a only lists games with different achievements (aka different titleIDs). They won't list exclusives, collector's editions, or regional releases.

True, but if he's going for a US 360 collection (which I was assuming) then the site is listing all the games since it's a US centric site. Maybe I should have put a note down that said this wasn't referencing exclusives, but just the general list of all games. The forums for each game tends to hold enough info for one to gleam off release dates for games too, not that those are directly referenced there.

www.collectorsedition.org has a list of the LE/CE/FU editons.

Thanks. I recently discovered that site. Now All I need is a list of exclusives.

Thanks. This may sound stupid, but do all games have achievements? Is there a chance a game is not listed there because there are none?

Also, I see the list does not distinguish between US/EU/JP releases, unless you open each game to find out if it has been released in your region. This should give me a head start though.

The exclusives are really out of control. Take for instance Ghostbusters. There is an Amazon.com CE exclusive as well as Gamestop and Best Buy exclusives with DLC or unlock codes. Another one was Marvel Ultimate Alliance. I believe Target and Walmart had exclusives for DLC or unlock codes for Daredevil and Silver Surfer. Then you have the Gold Edition and Platinum Hits versions as well. I almost forgot Call of Duty 2 and 3 had several exclusives and re-releases as well.

Don't forget about the ton of Wal-mart Exclusives (such as Section 8 with a patch).
All Retail and Xbox Live Arcade games have achievements. The only games that do NOT have achievements are indie games, which are only available via download on Xbox Live.
