Kotaku: Two years ago, Xbox Live gave away 72 limited edition Xbox 360 faceplates with a Need For Speed: ProStreet design. Some guy decided to get rid of his on eBay and has found it commands a price above $200.
The seller, out of Queens, N.Y., billed it as an "extremely rare" collectible but listed it for $30. His co-workers advised him not to sell it for less than $60 so he moved the reserve price up. Then yesterday afternoon a bidder (with pretty high feedback) stepped in and laid down $200, and finally another guy topped that, price-is-right style, by a buck.
Dealspwn: "f you haven't picked up one of the latest Need For Speed titles then you're in luck. Gamersgate are holding a weekend sale for four instalments in the racing series, and it's a great chance to save a few pounds whilst putting the pedal to the metal."
Hardcore Gamer: For the price of a pizza, you can get ProStreet, Shift 1, Shift 2, and Undercover.
Savings on The Walking Dead DLC, Limbo and Ghostbusters titles too. [OXM]
people will pay alot for collectibles.
I have a Gears of War faceplate and a Saints Row faceplate. I got both of them for free by purchasing the games at Circuit City. I wonder if they're worth that much...
it's a g-d piece of plastic for god's sakes... collector's item or not, you could buy a replacement arcade bundle for that.
I understand the collectible aspect of it, but come on, its need for speed pro street. that game sucked, and its outrageous to spend $200 on a faceplate that has the games logo printed on it.
If you're a collector i understand buying that, but I would never brand my console with a single game. Especially a mediocre one.
