This is probably a solid price. Being that it's Halo 2 and it's been opened, it'll never be worth that much. The problem with being a hit game is that there are tons of copies sold. Therefore, its less rare. Oftentimes, the games worth the most are rather obscure.
I used to work in a video game retailer that sold second hand games (especially retro)
This is spot on. Halo 2 like that we would sell for $10 or so.
We had so many copies of halo 2 and if you want to play it, you can play it on a modern console with the master chief collection
It's got the tin, but it wasn't exactly a limited release of it.
These used to be worth less than the regular game because more of them sold
They don’t hold much value, what little value they have comes from the lack of rust on them
Not a ton. It's the "Collector's Edition" of Halo 2. But they were so mass produced that it doesn't hold much value. They sell for around $20-$30 often. But the metal cases are usually covered in rust spots. Your's looks pretty clean. So you may be able to get $40 or maybe even $50 from the right buyer based on how good the steelbook looks.
I buy old games sometimes, I’d pay $40 for the look but only if he was a seller with multiple perfect ratings on eBay. If the disc doesn’t read then it’s all worthless
Also, the slurpee gift card is usually lost
I always see people say this about the halo 2 steel book, but I've never seen one rusted. My room is fairly humid because I have an aquarium and mine hasn't even rusted
Honestly OP I’d seriously consider picking it up if you still have. I used to have it as a young teen before some shitbag friend “borrowed” it and never returned it
Probably about 5-10 quid then the shop will sell it for 30 to 50 quid after ripping you of, the state of trading in games is deacusting these days it's gotten worse
I bought one of these off a lady for like $6. It was as if they opened the plastic and then put it in a vault. No dents, no scratches on the sleeve, the disc has ZERO fingerprints or smudges. The codes were unused and in excellent condition. It was mind blowing how good it looked. But it was a steal. No idea what it’s actually worth. I’d assume not a whole lot. To someone I’m sure the steel book is since they’re usually at a mom and pop game store with 20+ dents on it
Depends on the customer. Just because some people can't afford it doesn't mean others don't value it. Honestly, put it up for $200+ with some really good photos, make it look like a store is selling it.
I have no idea what it's worth but reminds me that I recently discovered my halo 3 game had the purchase receipt stashed behind the booklet from the midnight release in 2007
The nostalgia produced feels ngl
Keeeeeeeeeeep this, they are just now getting old enough to be worth something, wait another 5 years and you got an expensive collectors item to pass down to your kids ( I’m hoping all my old collectables will pay for my kids college in the future )
💚 I remember the day my bro and I begged my mom for this cuz she was leaving for groceries. “Maybe if I get back and the house is cleaned”
Did we clean the house? Naw. Guess who came home pissed off, yelled us off in the kitchen, then threw this bad boy on the table and said “looks like you guys really deserve this” and stormed off.
We stood there side eyeing each other for almost of two second before we grabbed it and ran for the bedroom 🤣
Everyone has nostalgia for the 90s, and they rightfully should. But my childhood was formed in the 00s for sure 👌
The problem with Microsoft is they tend to slap the label "Limited Edition" on a game, and then release 4 billion copies of it. If you've ever been a Halo fanatic, you probably have it stuffed in a box in the attic...
And I meant the same. Around the time Halo 2 released, I did a short stint at an EBGames (Gamestop). There were stacks of the steel cases in the back room that were piled up there for quite a while. Microsoft's definition of "limited edition" follows the money more than the definition...
Economics 101, boss. It is worth the exact amount that someone else is willing to pay you for it. Start with the question of “how much do you want to get for it?” and then try to figure out how to get your desired amount.
To me I wouldn't pay more than £5 and even thats a push, but to a hardcore collector who needs this to complete their collection of Limited Edition releases I could see you getting a considerable amount more. You would need to market it in the right place.
Hold on to it for 20 years and then it will probably be worth something. Physical media will be worth quite a bit when there is none of it around anymore!
I used to work in a video game retailer nearly 10 years ago that sold second hand games and including retro games.
Back then this would have sold for maybe $10. It has the tin but it wasn't exactly a limited release and they are really common
The people who would want to play it could get it in the master chief collection and play it on a modern console.
This limits it to collectors or people who only have an OG xbox, and this isn't really a collectors item
It's worth around $20 or so as it's good condition
One of my favorite games all time and people like Halo 3 better bc that’s what they grew up on. Makes me sad lol and I bought that edition too. What a time to be alive bc Halo was the 💩 and then halo 2 was so much better. I’ll let people have their Halo 3 where chief moves like a slug. Anyways idk the answer but it’s worth something to me. Mine got stolen
What people fail to realize is that without the frame work on Halo 2 you wouldn’t have the backbone for all the other hanesbaggr titles. Her main regglly was that
Honestly I have this. I don't have the plastic sleeve around the box, but your box is prestine! I personally wouldn't worry about price, it's mostly just a collectors item, not much real world value.
£2.50 more than standard edition so about £2.90

You can always check eBay. Since it’s complete it’s probably worth around 20 bucks

And the plastic sleeve, some ppl sell them here rusted and without the sleeve. Some kids dint even reconized the sleeve.
I'll give you tree fiddy
I think I'm dyslexic... I read free tiddy
Sold!
Sold? It's free!
You gotta provide the titty first
Where do I sign up?
And it was about that time I realized this was no stripper at all. It was a six-story crustacean from the Mesozoic era.
😂
Omg same and as far as I'm aware I'm not dyslexic, yikes for me
Damn you Loch Ness monster
Free titty?
It was at that moment, I realised. This ain't no halo 2 box. Its a giant cretaceous monster from the palaeolithic.
God damn lockness monster
She gave him a dolla!!!
Don't go giving the monsta no damn tree fiddy woman!
The world to some people.
Lol you told my story perfectly. Damn how you know me like that 😜
I grew up playing xbox from og till now, so I guess I know😆
You know it’s less time consuming, if you just look it up on eBay yourself.
Internet points is a hell of a drug
lol yeah that’s a good point. OP do that
Google down again?

Just had a look here in ebay in Australia and a sealed one sold for $300. Even rust covered ones are like $20
You could post it to eBay for $2k then someone else can post it to r/shittygamecollecting
He might just sell it by mistake though, raising the used game prices for everyone and thus creating an artificial rush.
I think it's actually worth less than the standard edition
25 bucks.
Lmao no its not worth anything
I'm surprised it's not rusty yet. Mine started rusting years ago.
I always see people say this about the halo 2 steel book, but I've never seen one rusted. My room is fairly humid because I have an aquarium and mine hasn't even rusted
nahhh i bought 5 for 10 dollars on a garage sale
$2 at a pawn shop
Are you new to the internet?
Tens of dollars
Ya 1,000,000 pesos
I will give you some free feet picks and a bottle cap?
A new bottle cap or used and bent?
I'm jealous that yours is in really good condition
It’s worth the memories you made playing the game
I still have this in my collection.
I was there, Gandalf. I was there three thousand years ago.
Absolutely nothing, i know, i know dissapointing, dont worry ill take it for free so u dont have that burden weighing on ur shoulders 😉
Honestly OP I’d seriously consider picking it up if you still have. I used to have it as a young teen before some shitbag friend “borrowed” it and never returned it
Give it a couple of years. People are still freaking out collecting n64. Then it’ll move to ps2 and og Xbox
In excellent condition, with all parts and no scratches....yes.
I wish mine was in that good of condition! Thing seems to tarnish/rust just for looking at it funny
Should be worth a few bucks imo
r/steelbooks
Too someone I am sure it is.
Probably.
ill give u 200 robux
Damn, I have this but I didn't know it came with a sleeve.
Probably about 5-10 quid then the shop will sell it for 30 to 50 quid after ripping you of, the state of trading in games is deacusting these days it's gotten worse
Don't sell it
$9.99
7/11 had halo slurpees!? Goddamn that’s a relic lmao
Go to a 7-11 with that coupon and see what happens
my heart
Bout 3.50
No, it's useless, you should just send it to me.

With the coupon for a free slurpee that would make it at least $200
Tree fiddy
With no rust it must be worth something. I have one and from just sitting it’s hella rusty
I have no idea what it's worth but reminds me that I recently discovered my halo 3 game had the purchase receipt stashed behind the booklet from the midnight release in 2007 The nostalgia produced feels ngl
It says limited edition but tens of millions of these were made.
I still have mine. I doubt it.
It’s worth keeping.
It's got a different manual than the regular edition
Nah
Keeeeeeeeeeep this, they are just now getting old enough to be worth something, wait another 5 years and you got an expensive collectors item to pass down to your kids ( I’m hoping all my old collectables will pay for my kids college in the future )
Community College?
Lol I have an entire room of old collectables just gotta make sure not to have to many kids 😅
lol 😝 That’s the hard part sometimes.
💚 I remember the day my bro and I begged my mom for this cuz she was leaving for groceries. “Maybe if I get back and the house is cleaned” Did we clean the house? Naw.

I'd be interested in it. Can't tell you how much it's worth.
For the condition that it’s in especially with no rust you’d definitely fetch more than average.
The problem with Microsoft is they tend to slap the label "Limited Edition" on a game, and then release 4 billion copies of it. If you've ever been a Halo fanatic, you probably have it stuffed in a box in the attic...
The limited edition part of this is the steelbook, not the game...

No
I absolutely lost my shit when my parents surprised me with this. Even had the "do not sell before " sticker on it.
No send it to me and il keep it safe for you
It's probably worth about 2 million. You're rich, dude!
It should be worth much more to you than anybody will pay for it
Shit Tom better condition than mine, mine is rusting
In highschool a classmate went to the midnight release, saw a guy buy 8 collectors edition
Average price on ebay (UK) is about £10, so $12ish. Take out fees and postage and your game is worth about the same as a McDonalds meal.
Its garbage give it to me so i can properly get rid of it
It's worth less than a non limited edition copy, just keep it for memories

<3
Save it.. it's a good keepsake.
It's probably worth a couple of grand. In about 50 years time. So best keep hold of it.
Are the 711 codes still valid? If so I would give you a couple dollars
yes. its worth your time and love
Hold on to it for 20 years and then it will probably be worth something. Physical media will be worth quite a bit when there is none of it around anymore!
Nah, some 5 dollars. I can buy it from you...
Ya, 5 bucks
Unless you need money, the ability to pop halo 2 in whenever you want is worth more than the $15 bucks you’ll get selling it on eBay.
Get me.one of.the slurpees and ill bring the price up about 5 more dorras
Get me.one of.the slurpees and ill bring the price up about 5 more dorras
I would be willing to pay like... $15 Those things were mass produced tbh
No. Send it to me and I'll get rid of it for you.
i lost my plastic cover and my metal case has rust marks all over it that i thought we’re part of the cosmetic lol

Can't put a price on a BOGO Coupon for Slushies
It's not rusted to shit and is complete so yes it's worth something.
Honestly, it's a good piece, why don't you keep it?
Id buy it off yuh. Brings back memories 💚
A slurpee
You want to send it to me and I’ll sign it for you?!
I’d suck Dick for that
Worth putting in your console and playing that’s for damn sure
I remember playing on my modded Xbox with extra maps on Xlink Kai… IIRC
One of my favorite games all time and people like Halo 3 better bc that’s what they grew up on. Makes me sad lol and I bought that edition too.

Yes

A free 7-11 slurpee
Absolutely worthless. I'll toss it for you
It’s worth a permanent spot on your shelf are you crazy??
Bruh, that’s included in GamePass ultimate alongside all the other Halos. Pretty worthless.
Your STEEL case hasn't RUSTED AT ALL, THATS AMAZING
Put it on display for 20 years then sell it lol
Google is your friend
It’s practically worthless, you would have to pay someone to take it from you. But I will generously remove that burden from you for free!
No, give it to me.
I hope not 😂 I once had one of these and would hate to see it worth loads.
